I am visiting the East Coast. Todays "art" excursion was to a place called "the Breakers", an old Vanderbilt mansion in Newport RI. Very picturesque town, beautiful old houses. Saw a fantastic stained glass ceiling in the Breakers and thought of justthemaid. Too bad no picture taking was allowed. It was quite a wonderful old mansion, all decked out for Chtistmas eith many trees, wreaths and flower arrangements.

Skip made a piece this year that I just love. HAD to pull the "Free Husband Up-grade" option, the mountain line is actually the rolled end of a sheet - so it was naturally occurring. Pretty, isn't it?


Edit: vv Phylp, her fourth weekend of five this coming one.

Thumbs up. Is she gearing up for her big Christmas show at the cow palace? That must be soon.

You misunderstand Phylp, the art isn't flawed, the man was. I love the art and wish the man had been whole. The art represents what the man, if he had been able to shed how he was, could have been. He was flawed in how he responded to others. He told my mother that there was a personality, an other, that always made him chose the path of failure and sometimes he knew it was himself.

Wasn't sure if I liked this one: my beach, for a neighbor who's moving away.

Yosguns,

Watercolors are a challenge aren't they, for me especially when describing form. I seem to have better results with a very detailed drawing first. If I don't like the outcome, and if the pigments are not dyes - as some are, I soak them in a tub of water and start over to save paper. Your choice of palette is appropriate for the subject. The glow on the Cathedral piece is convincing. Keep painting. Here's one I did some years ago of my Dad fishing on the Kern River.

Beautiful show at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco demonstrating the influence of Japanese art on the Western Tradition... highly recommended, works by Monet, Van Gogh, Matisse and many others from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. A real treat.
