Man it's been a long time between posts! Sorry about that! To all you kind folks who have been inquiring as to my health and whereabouts, I am fine and still painting!... I was pleasantly distracted during the Holidays but took the time to take some photos. This painting of Seattle is 24x24 in. I have been working on it several weeks now and it is still a work in progress. Thing is,, it has sentimental value for me and I don't think I will be able to sell it!
I checked out " Richard Shmidt Paints the Landscape" from Smartflix.. Its pretty good..I'm starting to get jazzed about getting outside to paint. The weather here has been crazy this year but if R.S. can paint in a snow storm I guess I can paint in good old Seattle rainslushicesnowmuckdrizzlefloodfogsleet.

Great details and flow in this wet downtown setting. Great feel to this. Nice work! Nina
Very lovely! Such a great overall warm painting. I agree, this would be hard to part with!
Welcome back, and capturing the tiger in this one! Nicely done.
Fancy that!? This painting is meaningful to me as well...brings back some wonderful memories of a rainy day in Seattle. You caught the mood and color of the city street and especially the shape of the sign! ;)
Robin,
I have been following your work for awhile now and have enjoyed it very much, especially your watercolors. I like the design of this painting very much. It has so many good things happening. IMHO It all works with one exception. The temperature appears too warm for what I imagine Seattle ( I have never had the pleasure of visiting ) to be on a cool rainy day.
Oh, Robin this is sensational! Love the wet street. So glad you're back posting.
This is beautiful. I can see why you want to keep it. Paint it again!
Wow...I am blown away by the response to this painting. Thank you all! N.W., Heidi, and Candy thanks for visiting and for your kind comments!
Ann, I am so happy you are able to visit my blog all the way from Uganda! The only thing missing in this scene is your sweet face. I will save the painting for you.
Take care and God bless you love..
William, Thank you for following my work! I did have trouble with the image transfer on this painting, as I do with a lot of the larger pieces. The color temp. is a bit cooler in the original.
Thank you Sil! I will be posting more often now.
Hi Robin, Thanks! You know how it is, so many scenes and so little time....
I came back to comment on your Father and Son painting and find this lovely Seattle painting. Both have a very nostalgic feeling. I would hate to pick a favorite ...
