Monet did it! It also gives you..or should great freedom to loosen up with the brush because you are on familiar territory.<br />Another good thing..if you dont mind me saying is to do a whole painting with a fairly big flat brush then spend just a few minutes at the end with a small one for detail..it will help your painting a lot and it's FUN ;-)Mike Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704704244181912722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072572308301706875.post-25305107643458932742010-06-01T13:46:00.357-04:002010-06-01T13:46:00.357-04:00I like this a lot, Catherine.

Our gallery receives many submissions from artists that are all over the place- I think hoping that we will surely choose something with such a smorgasboard.We are more impressed with artists' common thread re exploration and investigation re concept, and a consistent body of work that indicates integrity and direction. You have all of the above..this new painting is very strong and assured--The larger scale must be breathtaking in person--beautiful composition--a WOW-worth the wait! (and our invitaion is still open--tourist season is here$)Jan Yates, SCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507577561489678283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072572308301706875.post-7608118763684352352010-05-26T23:34:08.008-04:002010-05-26T23:34:08.008-04:00Another beauty!

Love the colorful neon lights and the broad reflection of the wet street.<br /><br />I completely agree with Marie...and yes, what a great comment! Keep it up.

Which you only get by repetition. Think of Morandi and all those bottles. I've often thought it would be cool to take one still life set-up, or one specific landscape setting and paint it over and over and over. And see how it evolves. Maybe an upcoming project? Anyway - keep painting and don't give it a second thought. I love them!Kim Rempelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010163424578410675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072572308301706875.post-73821544939400820702010-05-26T13:31:14.328-04:002010-05-26T13:31:14.328-04:00I was attracted to this almost Van Gogh-cum-loneli...I was attracted to this almost Van Gogh-cum-loneliness evening scene of yours, Catherine! Only to find myself here! I do hope that what I have written about your work will keep you for a while on this very interesting topic that attracts you to paint it again and again. It is thrilling to your followers because Yonge Street is becoming like "Sesame Street" or "Baker Street" or something famous!Regards from Cape Town.Marie Theronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873852756825147600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072572308301706875.post-66379360757911734452010-05-26T10:48:54.937-04:002010-05-26T10:48:54.937-04:00The scene is filled with detail, and even that is ...The scene is filled with detail, and even that is mirrored over and over in the rainy streets.
