Hi Janet,

Thanks for adding me as a friend. These works are painting right on the objects (rocks and glass) themselves instead of painting a picture of them on a canvas. Much more fun for the artist!

Best wishes from Ottawa,

Robert

Dear Robert,
I am flattered to be your friend but I see no comment from you.
The juxtaposition of the rock and tree does speak to me.At first I thought it was a tree you are pulling from the rock in the last image. The black paint flung on the rock does look to have branches and shadows of branches .
we bring our own memories and experiences to all images . I see those beautiful rocks that stand in the woods of connecticut, a place of my youth.

Hello Janet, there is a philosophical touch in your work which one can feel by your colours. Regards Marta

Thanks!
I changed the text. For some reason I can't get the background to come up as grey as I would like it is always white. Maybe there is something I'm not seeing on the theme page.
And I use acrylics.

Dear Praven,
I live in Texas which is 2000 miles away from new york city so I can not assist you at all. There is a place called leo house which is cheaper than most hotels as friends have stayed there but it is still about 70-80 dollars a night
