They are great and I really hope the inspiration will get hold of you and kick start you back into doing some art. Me, well I'm not artistic at all. Can't draw to save my life, that is why I would rather take photographs. Live my art out in that.

To me, the nocotine ridden painting looks too yellow/brown, but it speaks more about painter's mood. If that is the purpose of it than you have achieved.<BR/>The first painting is my favourite, and it's hard to believe it's your first ever painting - you must be an art diva. I am beginning to think you are actually..!! I have to mention about the almost perfect rain sogged look of the clay pot. you worked wonders with it.In short, the "first" painting of a geranium potted plant on a 'rainy day' is a masterpiece. <BR/>If you were to just to take to painting again, you can rake in big bucks, my dear. But I know that an Artist needs to be inspired enough...So, hopefully some thing will trigger that inspiration soon, inshalah. I will be your marketing agent - I am really good at it. As they say, I can sell sand to an Arab...! ha ha.introspectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820207734329529880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-26080951015096853972009-03-16T22:08:00.000-07:002009-03-16T22:08:00.000-07:00Heres another an Applauder...for the both of beaut...Heres another an Applauder...for the both of beautiful paintings...nomorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115872534623500806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-86229678603516908412009-03-16T18:52:00.000-07:002009-03-16T18:52:00.000-07:00Jo, your work is lovely and I cannot wait to see t...Jo, your work is lovely and I cannot wait to see the sketch you are doing...you have talent....it shows in your work!

But to my untrained eye they are terrific! Puff up all you want, it is well-deserved! lol! <BR/><BR/>I can see how the smell of the cigarette smoke influenced the nicotine-brown/yellow colours of the boy's clothing in the second painting. It is the overpowering theme of the picture.<BR/><BR/>I love the story of how you achieved the colours for your geranium's clay pot. I never could have imagined such a combination, but it is perfect!Avril Fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139777746148763206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-25398971819680436942009-03-16T17:44:00.000-07:002009-03-16T17:44:00.000-07:00Jo, I didn't even finish reading your post because...Jo, I didn't even finish reading your post because I want to tell you how much I like your paintings, For one thing, I like watercolors because of that dreamy floaty effect and the absence of hard lines. Secondly, I think you simply have an artist's eye. <BR/><BR/>You know.... if you were to make greeting cards with your watercolors and sentiments that you yourself create, I think that you would have a business going on.<BR/><BR/>Your paintings are charming and whimsical and soft and sweet. <BR/> ~LornaPatsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253618577306258135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-89997413643114209502009-03-16T17:36:00.000-07:002009-03-16T17:36:00.000-07:00I am hopelessly behind on my reading, but I saw yo...I am hopelessly behind on my reading, but I saw your post and had to have a peek before I go finish making dinner! Bravo! I love your paintings, Jo! Next to Lilies, geraniums are my favorite flower. Every year I try to over- winter them and they look so straggly I have to buy more and add them to the pots because I can't sit outside without my geraniums! Have fun at the art show, I wish I could tag along. Maybe you should put your own paintings in a show, they're really lovely.lovelyprismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288078574913082064noreply@blogger.com
