It popped up on my sidebar on my blog this morning and knocked my socks off! It's been great seeing your works from Germany--a bit of armchair travel for me and interesting seeing you work in the landscape each day.Dreama Tolle Perryhttp://dreamatolleperry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-62873813663760570942009-09-19T03:20:44.217-07:002009-09-19T03:20:44.217-07:00That is a lovely painting. :) Not sure how long yo...That is a lovely painting. :) Not sure how long you'll be here, but Gerstaecker.de sells odorless turpentine substitute / terpentinersatz geruchlos.

I met a painter who insisted that on overcast days it reverses, and he made all his shadow areas warmer. <br /><br />Maybe it's just the contrast he was going for.<br /><br />I'm seeing that a bit some of those boat shadows.
