Barbara, I found your art last year and I was in so much awe of the light and life you render. You inspire me.
My computer crashed and the 'backup' didn't work right so I lost all of my links. I could not remember your name (I'm sorry to say - I guess everything else that I've had to reconstruct from the PC crash addled my brains!), but I've been doing searches for egret paintings and pelican paintings and, voila', after 8 months I finally found your website and then your blog.
I am older now and finally picking back up paint, pastels, and prismacolors (or anything else I think I might like)after decades of nothing. Your work is so beautiful to me I have trouble picking up media to do my own because I just love looking at your work. Some of that is defeatism, or just laziness, I know; but you do inspire me none-the-less to try one more thing to achieve the realism and sparkle I see in your work.
Your Blog has now inspired me further because I thought I was hopelessly slow and had no hope of ever finishing anything. Now I realize that some things just take a long time (in planning, in composition, in rendering). Thank you for sharing your work, your process, little glimpses of your life.
I must say (finally) I am surprised that there are no comments in any of your Blog. Please don't stop! I can't possibly be the only one who is viewing and trying to absorb some small piece of wisdom or insight from your beautiful work.
All the very best,
Suzanne M.

Hi Suzanne,
I guess a big reason there are no comments on my blog is that I add new posts so rarely. I posted a new one last night, and that was the first time I saw your comments.
I only add posts when I finish a painting, and that only happen every two or three months. As you say, some things just take a long time.
But thank you for your comments. And, of course, I will continue to add posts to my blog as I finish my paintings.
Good luck with your own paintings. Thanks so much for your interest in my work.
Barbara
