hi Lori! I have enjoyed your blog and website for some time now, just starting to consider doing some online things, like a blog (eek, scary!) and am thinking of ways to use my facebook to promote my work. still rather unsure of that, I don’t want to bombard my friends with ‘buy my work now!” but, well, would really like it if they did!

I just love your videos! I have a question–you are using a screen to paint landscapes from, yes? and in one video you show ‘dueling’ paintings–two at a time (or more) to keep progression and if you get stuck you can still keep working. how, or do you do this same thing with landscapes?? I see it done with your still life work and just wondering if landscapes work with this as well? really liked that video in particular, as well as the plein air ones.

I don’t often do this, write to someone I do not know, but you seem like we’d have a nice time over coffee, so I am trying it! and if you ever get to south dakota, I invite you to paint here.

Hi Chris, thanks for the great feedback. It would be fun to meet for a cup of coffee and talk about art – lol!
Yes, I have a large computer monitor next to my easel. It really helps me see the details of my reference photos.

I do ‘dual’ landscape paintings at the same time too! Especially when I am crunch-time for a show. I am glad that little video inspired you. Thanks again for the nice comment.
