Laurie mentioned that we both owed ...Thanks Julie!<br /><br />Laurie mentioned that we both owed a lot to abstract art of the 30's and 40's (before Expressionism). I admit that Leger, Kandinsky, and a host of others have been on my mind very much these days:) Lots to learn about! It really helps to know some art history.<br /><br />It's always nice to find like minded people. It's why I envy you your job. It would be wonderful to spend each day in the company of others that just wanted to paint:)<br /><br />Thank you as always for your visit and observations. I really appreciate it. <br />Libby <br />***And your advice on the still life and the bottom of each form really helped me yesterday. I also got some new insights from that overhead view!

I visited the Fendrich website and saw the similarities just like Carol did and agree on the excitement of discovering a like minded artist. Your work can also inspire Laurie. A win win.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-44920348161882036312016-02-22T15:58:43.079-08:002016-02-22T15:58:43.079-08:00Pam,

It does seem like a series now doesn't it? It's helping me to learn a little more about color and form; maybe even helping me to have more of a sense of "graphic design." <br /><br />And thank you. We should always strive to thank and inspire one another. Why not?<br /><br />Hope you and Jeff are doing well. I saw that you went for a ride and got all bundled up. I am not crazy about being cold myself and imagine that being on a motorcycle would be tough! Hope you enjoyed yourself.<br /><br />Take care. See you soon!<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-25433788489483768652016-02-22T15:53:16.193-08:002016-02-22T15:53:16.193-08:00Appreciated!Appreciated!Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-69552269575175906362016-02-22T15:52:45.385-08:002016-02-22T15:52:45.385-08:00Carol,
You really hit the nail on the head! It...Carol,<br /><br />You really hit the nail on the head! It's like finding a kindred spirit or as you wrote, "an ally in thought." It's crucial I think to see your ideas reflected back to you in the words and actions of other people. Not to justify what you do (or to bolster self esteem) but to know that someone else sees things similarly. Support really comes in all sorts of forms doesn't it?<br /><br />I try to thank people as often as possible but really I don't do it enough. It never hurts to keep trying:)<br /><br />And on that note, thank you for your kind words and support! It's appreciate:)<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-25177214312798091572016-02-22T15:47:11.427-08:002016-02-22T15:47:11.427-08:00Debbie,

They just keep showing up doing all sorts of things:) And I really like the colors too. Another surprise for me. You just never know what you are going to find out, creatively speaking, I guess.<br /><br />I hope that your Monday has gone well so far. Thank you again for the visit and hugs right back to you:)<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-47304623123783385262016-02-22T15:05:23.172-08:002016-02-22T15:05:23.172-08:00I have truly been enjoying this series of yours.

Isn't it wonderful to "discover" an artist that motivates and inspires work where methods or materials or ideas relate in some way to yours? It's like finding a long lost relative or an ally in thought. You were sweet to write her. We all should do that to those who inspire us. To know that you have influenced someone in a positive way is a precious gift.

The colors you used the orange with the blue really appeals to me. They are a favorite pair of compliments and you used them well friend to delight the eye. Your title made me smile too. Hope you are having a great day. Hugs!

Most people are very polite and somewhat cautious I suspect. The Internet provides such a curious way of communicating. It's hit or miss. I contact people though to say thanks. There is no harm in trying and no down side for me really. It's a Brave New World:)<br /><br />Thanks as always for your visit and observations. It's appreciated.<br />Libby<br /><br /><br /> Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-33576183093002328762016-02-21T10:41:48.255-08:002016-02-21T10:41:48.255-08:00Good one Libby, it does have a playful element!

Critiques maybe come in a message but I think most people are too polite. You`re thoughtful to thank those that inspire you!Randall David Tiptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842621412363241927noreply@blogger.com
