This painting could be one of my sons when they were very young. On that perfect snowy night in Indiana, their dad and me (sometimes, just us and sometimes, all of us) went to a nearby municipal golf course sledding. We had so much fun and there was an awe about doing that. You've captured it in your painting and I would be honored if you would sell it to me. Please be kind and e-mail me with a price. Your inspiration is sending me into the studio right now and paint. . . .

Some colors were washed out,(this piece looks better,I think, than the photo)<br />You can't focus too much on the academics, but <br />to break away and have fun in the "play ground"<br />with art is always a ball game!

What's the size of this gem?<br />Lately I think I'm focusing too much on the technical side of painting- so it's always a single piece of fruit, painted from life alla prima with the light coming from the left etc. But I don't want to lose those aspects of art that really elevate it- hard to keep that balance.Judy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09176284042670900772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429997890217426752.post-9442217989904684782011-01-22T09:23:52.979-06:002011-01-22T09:23:52.979-06:00Thank you Celeste!

If we could, we would slide onto the lake.<br />The hockey rink was also a night thing!
