You are a very skilled painter aren't you? This piece is so well done, it impresses me that you hit the colours first time, I know that water colours do not give you a second chance! I get the impression you do these quickly and easily, but then anything that is well done looks like that. It is always good to watch people who are good at what they are doing, there is such an easy rhythm and assurancee in what they do, I get the feeling you are like that.

Thank you very much for all the comments on my photographs, it is wonderful to have feedback like that. The one with the exciting colour was taken on one of these days, late afteronn, when the sun bursts through and touches a part of the landscape, it is saturated with colur and makes for good pictures. I was lucky to get these lighting conditions for a few moments.

I have nearly changed my mind that my photos are a bit boring and I need to seek a bit more drama, in different lighting conditions such as late afternoon. I can never make up my mind about this, whether to go for drama or "quiet beauty and calm"! I guess there is no harm in trying for both at different times, depending on the conditions when I can go out or the conditions I choose to go out in.

dear Adam

I think You do easily both calm and drama - maybe often understated, or rather hidden & balanced, but that's just great - in Your pictures, no need to worry or exclude anything.
I'll have to get my head together soon and learn how to post these links easier: I feel I'll soon be ready to invite all I know to this site and I want them to have easy acces to Your pictures, and possibly each others.

As for showing/selling, I've always felt that my sketches are best seen many at a time (I'll post a photo or two from a few old exhibitions on the giorgio delirico blog tomorrow to give You an idea), the multitude of impressions being possibly part of the whole picture. Imagine 6-8 computer screens in a sort of mosaique showing loops of hundreds of sketches, with different intervals, to create new combinations all the time...maybe it's a recipe for a nightmare, I would have to try. Or just one sequence on the net, and then people different places accesing it say, in the waiting room of a dentist for amusement... then making one real exhibition a decent place in a few years time would make much more sense with the ground prepared ...sorry, just dreaming.
Maybe i just rather paint, when I can, instead of all the hassle of framing and hanging and wine and cheeeeez

thank You for "listening" to all this

i understand that. there are so many exciting possibilities these days for multi-media work, the only thing stopping us is the time, knowledge and perhaps cost! so many exciting ideas to explore, but the most exciting thing would be "to do"!

real presence is important too; one has to be doing both which limits the speed a little, and I can't help feeling it's good that way
