I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! I didn't expect to like it but it had a big effect on my thinking. <br />Your work has a wonderful softness showing the effusion of light - could almost be pastels rather than oil.

There was recently a Cezanne Card Players exhibit at the Met. You are following in great footsteps with that subject matter. Thanks for your post on my blog. It was another fun, exciting and insightful Karin Jurick workshop, and I'm happy to be back to looser, smaller paintings. Looking forward to settling into daily paintings at the end of June. I'll be back, so thanks for checking in on my blog.Tonya Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270811534815685179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032042591265058150.post-51038519978357450502011-06-01T09:30:33.311-05:002011-06-01T09:30:33.311-05:00Christine, thank you for trying, and trying and......Christine, thank you for trying, and trying and...

It's challenging me. I'm pulling for the drama, but in doing so finding that I'm loosing all my great color. A bit frustrating.
