Everything you said in the previous post about quantity--> quality, absolutely right.

You have SO much talent Kathryn. Yo...What a beaut! You have SO much talent Kathryn. Your colors are amazing - clean, pure, vibrant... I too appreciate your Zangle paintings for what they tell us about the many different ways you see and interpret your world. Knowing the essential shapes of this scene seems to give you the freedom to explore more of the subtleties in color and value. <br /><br />The paintings you did at Peggy's workshop are inspiring. My greatest desire right now is to have some one on one with one of our contemporary masters. Alas - the family schedule and finances don't allow for it :( I am, however, considering purchasing her DVD's. I think you had mentioned them in previous posts. Do they come close at all to experiencing a workshop in person?<br /><br />BTW - I had a peek at your daughter's website & listened to a few of the songs. Another great talent in the Townsend family!SC Shisler:https://www.blogger.com/profile/07270498608193815039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792661502901986333.post-29432794770867400682010-07-05T05:06:01.572-07:002010-07-05T05:06:01.572-07:00how lucky are you to live in a place that you enjo...how lucky are you to live in a place that you enjoy painting every day and how lucky are we to watch your painting process and admire you for posting a daily painting?CHRIS MURRAYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902291140734132670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792661502901986333.post-52046357593297613782010-07-05T00:48:45.178-07:002010-07-05T00:48:45.178-07:00Kathryn, I enjoy your work so much...I never tire ...Kathryn, I enjoy your work so much...I never tire of your Zangle Cove paintings because of the exploration that you do. The sometimes subtle differences are very interesting. I have really enjoyed the painting sketches from Peggi's class and the written explanation.

I love, love, love, the Making Marks series. The possibilities here seem even more endless. I wish there was a way to convey online more about the procedure, since I can't attend the workshop. Or does one just begin, try, and get better at it? Any books you could suggest?Kathryn Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12538880525410451147noreply@blogger.com
