Elio, your work is STUNNING!

Thanks for leaving a kind comment on my blog. I appreciate the encouragement from someone who is quite a bit more skilled than I.

Funny you mentioned the debate about painting in full sun. I’ve been wondering about that myself. I’ve ignored that rule too just because sometimes the scene I want to paint requires me to be work in full sun.

I’m curious about your easel. Did you make it yourself or is it a modified easel from the store? Mine is similar.

Kim,

Thank you for the wonderful compliment.

I didn’t make it or modify it. Its called a Take-it-easel and it is WONDERFUL. I can’t say enough about this easel. As you can see I paint large outdoors so an easel that can handle large canvases is vital.

Great explorative colour in all of these. There is something unpredictable and yet very distinct about your colour sense.. really a joy to see what you post next. Really like the 4 still lifes on the left side of the page. You go!!

cheers, Michael

Thanks!

Elio,

Your work is wonderful. Russian Impressionism is my passion. These paintings are so vibrant, the strokes so strong and sure. Wow!

I would love to take one of your workshops - but Texas is pretty far away. Do you ever come this way?

Nothing organized as of now. But as always if you can get a committed group of 10-16 feel free to contact me.

Elio,
Thanks for bringing the still life with bananas to class today - the real painting just blows the image on this blog away! The color is a bit less intense, more subtle and there is just so much more variation to see when the actual painting is in front of your face … a real treat!

No Problem

I haven’t been here for quite a while and Wow is all I can say. The paintings just leapt off the page at me. It felt really good!
Rock on.

Thank You
