Your colors are so wonderful in these - and such perfect color transitions in every part; I mean, I blew up the photo to just look at the openings in the foam and am blown away by your use of color. This gives such a great feeling to the paintings.<br />Elizabeth Elginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16052838662923779328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598952134662786645.post-38637988264514439182014-01-24T08:05:23.140-08:002014-01-24T08:05:23.140-08:00Hi Elizabeth,

Although, I could put together a short Youtube video which I haven't done yet...<br />You have also made me realize I haven't done a blog post on wave colors either so I have that to keep in mind as well!<br />Thanks so much!Clinton Hobarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344113204041091501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598952134662786645.post-68955739308912724482014-01-24T07:58:16.961-08:002014-01-24T07:58:16.961-08:00Hi Peg.

It is a good point about working from life vs photos. my attitude toward working from photos is that you shouldn't us them unless you absolutely have to because the painting just can't be done from life. <br />I will post your persimmons this week!<br />Thanks for taking the time to commentClinton Hobarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344113204041091501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598952134662786645.post-23853674717306520912014-01-24T07:19:27.941-08:002014-01-24T07:19:27.941-08:00I love all your work and especially your wave pain...I love all your work and especially your wave paintings. They are unusual and I don't know why - perfect colors maybe? Would you ever make a video about how you process goes, color mixes you use, etc? I'd buy it!Elizabeth Elginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16052838662923779328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598952134662786645.post-67092724669908764872014-01-23T18:05:04.633-08:002014-01-23T18:05:04.633-08:00P.S.

It was announced today that it's a "Go" for tomorrow, Friday, January 24th. The waves are huge right now so the competition is set. Universal Sports Network will air it live or you can watch a live internet stream at mavericksinvitational.com.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727669763854143208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598952134662786645.post-58396122126658782422014-01-23T12:49:13.150-08:002014-01-23T12:49:13.150-08:00I wrote a response to your wave painting yesterday...I wrote a response to your wave painting yesterday and mused about your willingness to paint fruit only in real life while wave paintings would not be possible without photos, either hard copy, digital or from memory. Your wave paintings are simply lovely; the colors and foam dynamics are a fascinating study. It took about 30 minutes to compose and, when finished, I punched the "preview button" at the bottom and it all disappeared. It was a major disappointment to have that happen and I wonder if it has happened to anyone else brave enough to try the "preview button" on this blog site. I will not do it again.<br />Thanks also for illustrating potential gallery glitches. You have certainly paid your dues. I hope your warnings serve others well.<br />Please show your followers the mini painting I won last fall so that they have one more look at your dynamic talent. Thanks again for allowing me to pick a subject!<br />Sincerely, Peg BeckerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727669763854143208noreply@blogger.com
