I've been going for many years and didn't make it up this year. So, feeling a bit nostalgic and looking at images. You did a beautiful job capturing the feeling of Monhegan! Can't believe you never been. But you definitely understand this part of the world. Well done.A Small Garden Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279242629990886034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-76708279044461601012009-02-06T09:12:00.000-07:002009-02-06T09:12:00.000-07:00I'll go on a painting trip to Maine with you.

It means a lot to hear that others like the way this one turned out. <BR/><BR/>When I get around to planning that trip to Maine, I'll make sure I let all you NE artists know - it would be nice to paint with some folks who already know the good spots =)<BR/><BR/>Mike - Tom at Front Range Frames is great, and I get almost all of my frames from him at this point (he does gold too).<BR/><BR/>Ann - I'm used to working wet on wet, so when I work on top of a dry painting I usually try to keep the paint fairly liquid. If I'm aiming for soft edges or wanting to blend with what's there, I'll put down a thin thin coat of liquin on the area I'm working, then work into it. Hope that makes some sense???Stacey Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092020892186641387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-42858438722172350132009-02-04T15:32:00.000-07:002009-02-04T15:32:00.000-07:00Stacy,Your commissioned painting is lovely; I'm su...Stacy,<BR/>Your commissioned painting is lovely; I'm sure the client will be pleased! I've been to Maine many times before, and this scene really captures the unique beauty of Maine.<BR/><BR/>I do a lot of oil painting myself and find it hard to tweak a finished, dried oil painting. In your experience, do you typically dry brush, or "scumble" the paint in areas that you are adjusting? <BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>AnnAnnGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261198412415301528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-82970690934911208372009-02-03T07:20:00.000-07:002009-02-03T07:20:00.000-07:00I suggest you don't plan the trip for winter unles...I suggest you don't plan the trip for winter unless you want to paint snow an ice.<BR/><BR/>Lovely painting, I expect the buyers are very pleased.http://www.onpainting.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686317908010461627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-91231599604930973832009-02-02T22:44:00.000-07:002009-02-02T22:44:00.000-07:00Your client has got to be a happy camper.

Frames have always been a challenge for me. You know, getting the right frame for the right price.
