I also very much appreciate your comment. It is interesting to me that several commenters have felt that the painting looks like a photo. <br /><br />When I look at this piece, I think otherwise because I know what changes I have made from the actual scene--mostly simplification from a massive tangle of fallen trees and branches. It is truly fascinating to hear from you and others and to try to see this work through others' eyes.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588695586677501283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065634132019405929.post-52989233575254794602009-09-25T20:59:13.986-04:002009-09-25T20:59:13.986-04:00I also thought the painting was a photograph.

I'll definitely keep coming back to see your lovely paintings.<br /><br />JJ, thank you for your most encouraging words. The hard work and careful thought I give to blogging is all worthwhile if I know it is meaningful to other people. It's fun to hear about your experiences--I'm glad your super photography is getting wider recognition.<br /><br />Lynne, your short blog entries are more like what the experts recommend. Be short and snappy, they say, in order to appeal to searchers. It is good for me to know that there are also people who appreciate longer entries, but don't put your blog style down. There is room for all of us with something creative to share.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and commenting, Bill. It's encouraging to know that you still feel you don't know all the tricks because your blog is super. It is kind of you to encourage a relative newbie.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588695586677501283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065634132019405929.post-14594057331837301462009-09-02T21:13:08.661-04:002009-09-02T21:13:08.661-04:00Thanks for stopping by my little nature blog and n...Thanks for stopping by my little nature blog and now I got to see yours.

I appreciate that very much.<br /><br />Bill, I am working to improve my photo skills, and given your terrific blog photos, your comment means a lot. Let me know how you like the recipes--it's fun to know that you will be trying some of them. I will have another recipe (an easy, but elegant dessert) in the next couple of weeks.<br /><br />Marian, your comments about the blog and this painting are tremendously encouraging--many thanks. Also, thank you for your insights about adventuring and seeing with painter's eyes. You are a peach!<br /><br />Megha, thank you for your kind comments. I do love this unique beach--that probably shows in the painting. <br /><br />A.L., you sure do know how to give a person a boost!

Sometimes in everyday life we just don't see the beauty that is there.<br />I find that when I go out with my painter's eyes, I see so much more.. Makes the experience so different and much nicer, I think.<br /><br />P.S. I can't believe that painting is one of your first.... It is AMAZING!!!Marian Fortunatihttp://www.marianfortunati.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065634132019405929.post-69547897490967013612009-09-01T13:41:34.085-04:002009-09-01T13:41:34.085-04:00I read several of your posts and found them very i...I read several of your posts and found them very interesting.
