Have to tell you - ...Fabulous post -thanks, Linda. <br />Have to tell you - I actually made a snorting sound laughing at the turtle comment. Good one. <br />I adore Miro - his work speaks to me and Chihuly's work is very similar visually... in the way that as you experience it, the little bits of form and color make up an intriguing whole. That may make no sense to you but I once walked thru a tunnel of C- glass and that what came to mind. <br />Love your sketches. Such talent <br /><br />Feel I would like to paint a gentle, lingering waterfall inspired by your photo if you would give me permission?<br />juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-36412398361965473932014-04-20T15:48:12.844-04:002014-04-20T15:48:12.844-04:00And we only saw the Miro, a few modern sculptures,...And we only saw the Miro, a few modern sculptures, the work of other talented glass artists besides Chihuly. A museum takes more than a morning. But sometimes, that's all the time you can give before having to run home and paint, draw, construct something. The Japanese Garden was especially special coming away from Michigan's record breaking, brutal winter.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-7434939195209594302014-04-20T15:44:41.348-04:002014-04-20T15:44:41.348-04:00I did EXCEPT: We didn't stay long enough.

Still on my agenda is visiting you, Chihuly's Tacoma Studio/factory, a gondola ride on Crystal Mountain, whale watching (we didn't have the proper parkas) and Vancouver via the Starlight Coach--I know the train would take longer to get there, but I've heard the views are marvelous from the upper deck--and WHAT'S THE HURRY? Thanks. When you can't paint, squeeze the shutter button.

Though I admire the work of the masters prior to Courbet' s Salon des Refuses, the freedom of the Modern's always arouses my passion for putting paint to canvas. To some Miro's work may look like childhood scribbles, but to me they tell a tale of imagination and unbridled expression, something most of us curtailed or lost on our day jobs. I'd like to get more of inner child back.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-84254960377647971222014-04-18T17:15:38.338-04:002014-04-18T17:15:38.338-04:00Thanks Hilda.

Well, uncooked elk turned my digestive system upside down. I only made it to the party for an hour before I had to go back to bed. BUT I DID MEET MY GREAT NEPHEWS AND NIECE and photos, so it was a success. Ellis, on the other hand, spent the day with them and was very pleased I had made the arrangements. Photography is all I really had to work with. I was jealous of the painters we passed in the park out there in the plein air. The weather was chilly, but sunny, good for plein air. Not good enough here though. The day after we got home, it snowed three inches and our winter went down at the top of the record books. Love your portrait. I am so glad you didn't abandon it.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-32591468863368429772014-04-17T10:33:53.287-04:002014-04-17T10:33:53.287-04:00Fantastic post!!!
