It is a very typical and prolific scam to send that bank money order for over the amount, and then request a refund of the overage. Then…"

"Hank,
Wonderful interplay on the surface of the water. 95% of all water painted does not get the character it deserves, I can feel the breeze on the back of my neck with this one. Great job."

Toned grounds
Here I tried a couple of toned grounds. I have a couple other colors ready to try (sienna and cad red) and just need the time to do them. Yellow ochre ground showing through on the unfinished bush to the right:
This one is small and I did it as fast as I could. It took about 30 minutes. Raw umber (+ white) ground.…

- Hank
I checked out your website & blog, nice work!!!
Looks like you will have your hands full for awhile with the four little ones.
I have one son who will be 21 soon. a junior at PITT
I do recognize you from the photos, what year did you graduate from RISD & what major?
I was "84, Illustration Who would have thought that I would make my living as a painter.
Ciao
Gordon

Karen Weihs said… - many of the large large ones are studio work from smaller studies, but I am not afraid of doing large outdoors. In Italy I just lay the canvas, unstretched taped to a board I guy there and ay it all on a stone wall. glad you got by the show.

- Yes, the vertical palette is great for plein air, it gets you at eye level and the limited palette stays cleaner. I had a neck injury and could not look down so it has become handy and a better way to see the colors close to your painting,no glare and easy. Just get a light weight easel and set it close to your normal easel, but weight the bottoms with clips or stones or if you have a soltek, then put it below your painting. In the studio I have an old palette box with glass in it nailed to an old easel.

- Hi Hank. It is a box that my husband, who is also a painter, made. It has shelves to hold the value scales that I mix. A hinged cover, that folds down and sits flat (horizontal) on the "table" part of my easel, is used for mixing. I use a bungie cord to hold the palette box onto the easel.
