I'd like to walk down that path of beautiful colors. Do you like Claude Monet's paintings? I've been reading a fascinating book about his garden, and he was always very aware of the effect of "shimmer". Your final result is enchanting!! I’d like to walk down that path of beautiful colors.

However, in the future...maybe retirement, I would like to try teaching. :) I used to have a wacom pen and a little tablet. It was fun! I know what you mean by learning it's temperaments and secrets. Good luck and have fun. On a cool note, you're going "green" by not wasting paper! Drowsey: Thanks woman! I like to look back at the different stages and study color and shapes in their own forms. :) Shelley: I hear ya! Who doesn't love a perfect autumn day? Autumn is so brief we should celebrate it now! :) Lana: Thanks, I always need to step back! Mistakes galore for me! It's my excuse to keep adding paintings around my house...practice, practice. I must do more! Forestman: Hi there JJ's Forestman! Yes, I know the "W" word comes next, but I think your winter's are much more harsh than mine! I've seen some of JJ's beautiful below zero winter photos and it looks pretty but not fun to be out in! Thanks for stopping by and tell JJ "Hi!"

You know what comes next! My wife is glad to see your new place, she's JJ Nature Nut. Don't tell anyone, but sometimes in the summer I'll pull up some winter photo's to cool off.

Good advice posted here about stepping back every so often. Sometimes mistakes create something even better, too. Very lovely! Good advice posted here about stepping back every so often.
