Landscape..Softly as in a Morning Sunrise

Richie!!...how nice to see you!!...I am really happy you like the painting…I painted it spontaneously while listening to the music with no plan in mind, and I loved it when it was finished…thank you so much…

Thank you so much Niki..I’m glad you like it…

I’m glad you think so DH, as I’m going to be doing lots more of these spontaneous works this summer…just put music on and paint how I feel instead of what I see…thank you somuch…..

I hope you enjoyed the music too…

Alla Prima….I haven’t done one in a while, especially in acrylic…I plan to do lots more…thanks again Richie… :))

Oh you flatterer…..actually I have one of my resounding migraines, but that has never stopped me from doing anything…if it did I would not be here at all…did you like the music?..

Thank you so much Colleen… I appreciate that…

So am I…but I call it loving the best music.. :)))

How wonderful…thank you so much…. :)))

Thank you so much Thelma… :))

I think this is going to be a general favourite Joanne…I’m happy you like it too…it could be a sunset too…which ever you want it to be… :))

Actually I was standing…I sometimes sit for details, but mostly I stand…for this one I stood the entire time till it was done … the music was just behind me, so I sang along and played it over and over…I loved the finished result…thank you so much Linda…

Thank you so much Linda…just the start of another series…I plan to do more of them…every viewer likes something different and that’s why I paint so many disparate subjects in various styles…I must say that this is among my favourites styles and subject matter, along with food and tools…

Thank you so much Val…it’s nice to see you…i’m so happy you like it and thanks so much for the choon…I love Annie Lennox… :)))

There is already another in the series on the previous page….in my answer to Jim Phillips on that page, I explain what the series means…I hope to take the idea of the word softly in the lyrics as far as it could go, painting ideas conjured up by the music…alla prima with no preconceived ideas about subject or colour….just an emotional response to the music….I’m really glad you like it Ron…thank you so much…
