Hi Gail, I’ve just seen that you picked on of my portraits for your monthly gems. Thank you! I feel really honoured…even more so when I read Casey Klahn’s comment!

Thoroughly enjoyed this blog and look forward to enjoying more. You have an uncanny knack of picking just the right art I will enjoy and could search for years without finding. Many thanks S

Monthly Gems is a great idea. I love seeing what paintings catch other people’s attention. i also had taken note of Janet Cook and Catherine Meeks paintings. Thanks so much for sharing all this. Appreciate your comments like how Bruce Gomez sands the 140# WC paper. Look forward to more.

Thanks for the inclusion in a power group of pastels! A bit heady for the morning, but I will take the compliment with gratitude.

Janet Cook is terrific, and the one by Catherine Meeks is stellar. Ruth Mann is brilliant! All fine works!!

Morandi – I spend a lot of time looking at his stuff, and it is special anytime I can get my values to line up well enough. I believe the pilly, raggy paper and the oil bar helped. Suddenly cannot remember the brand name – sorry.
