Lovely eagle, and the way the derby hat came into being is wonderful. your older work of the buoys is perfect even if you did it years ago. Your art is bold, and original. like a breath of fresh air.<BR/>I am going to add you to my blog list, hope that will be ok.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754977794843612673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471263212568793332.post-16720068272701201152008-01-15T09:27:00.000-05:002008-01-15T09:27:00.000-05:00Hi RHONDA - This one was painted about 7 years ago...Hi RHONDA - <BR/>This one was painted about 7 years ago, and the eagle was 14 yrs ago. This one was one of the first more successful YUPOS I'd done up to that point, and it won Honorable Mention at the Fitton's Spring Show.Sandy Maudlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962887841683409190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471263212568793332.post-55836480498983207842008-01-15T09:21:00.000-05:002008-01-15T09:21:00.000-05:00Rhonda,Thanks for the comments.

It's amazing how much our painting style changes/improves according to the amount of brush time we put in.Sandy Maudlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962887841683409190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471263212568793332.post-21793214361770874992008-01-15T08:48:00.000-05:002008-01-15T08:48:00.000-05:00I'd like to know what year you painted this, Sandy...I'd like to know what year you painted this, Sandy. I see a difference in your work now - mainly, a more luscious use of colors in your darks than I see in this painting (but it could be that the variety of darks isn't showing in the photo).RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471263212568793332.post-11432585905372783282008-01-14T18:34:00.000-05:002008-01-14T18:34:00.000-05:00Hi Myrna,Conceptual art is really a huge topic, bu...Hi Myrna,<BR/>Conceptual art is really a huge topic, but here's my focus for this year --- I want to develop an idea or concept onto a flat piece of paper, making the concept the most important part of what the painting is about. My concept might be the importance of relationships, so my paintngs might or might not be of recognizable subject matter, but would convey something that I think is important about relationships. <BR/><BR/>I sense that it's too easy as an artist to get caught up in the 'things' around me to paint. . . the next great photo, etc. We'll see where this thinking takes me. (It's certainly not the broad definition of conceptual art - don' think I'll ever go there.)Sandy Maudlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962887841683409190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471263212568793332.post-56534459642545409232008-01-14T18:09:00.000-05:002008-01-14T18:09:00.000-05:00I like your idea of a goal for the year.
