By the way, judging by the few brief glimpses I've had of you, I think you are beautiful as well! I recently purchased a photography book titled "STILL" by Debra Bloomfield and her photos and your paintings must be from the same muse. Very calming to look at.

Sadly I haven't yet Cindy as I am overwhelmed with trying to sort out my mums house and her collection of things over her life. Mum never threw out and I am finding amazing things as well as being totally overwhelmed at times with so much stuff. I am bringing boxes home to my little cottage only to find I now have no more room in my own cuboards so now having to sort out what to sell, what to go to hospice etc.<br /><br />I am hoping I can start painting again soon though. Spring is here in New Zealand now and I am waiting for the Peonies to be available in the florist shops (usually November) I will then take heaps of photos to inspire me.<br /><br />I love this new work you have done above, its very peaceful and will look stunning when hanging. I have never painted a landscape but have a friend that makes a very successful living out of her New Zealand landscapes.<br /><br />I am sorry I haven't visited lately but the loss of my mum etc I have not spent much time on the computer, just enough to get a post up. I will be back again soon as I should be motivated by watching your updates.<br /><br />Lee :)<br />Lee Caroline - A World of Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775174736286159146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984817437506915739.post-55090094023681574682012-09-09T14:54:42.137-04:002012-09-09T14:54:42.137-04:00Oh Cindy!!!!

Your art is as I have said over and over amazing.<br />I too have been inspired by these ladies namely Kerrie at sea cottage. Did you see my sea oil a couple of postings back? I now sea, see :) that you have painted the hem of the sea with its grays and natural tones of the sand to capture its beauty for all of us to be inspired by the beauty you artistically painted soulfully.<br /><br />I hear you with those cheep brushes, I have a few of them, they paint such imperfect beauty thank you Cindy for brightening my night with you beautiful comment.<br />Lots of artistic love.<br />Xox<br />DoreBurlap Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134718817693134037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984817437506915739.post-14388684830591872742012-09-06T21:02:20.185-04:002012-09-06T21:02:20.185-04:00Please don't talk about my friend Cindy like t...Please don't talk about my friend Cindy like that LOL! We are our own worst critic, that is for sure (that said, last time I tried to take a pic of myself with my phone, I about died. I'm hoping I messed up the self-portrait function, otherwise, my face is on crooked!). I must say the Cindy I know is beautiful inside and out, with an amazing artistic eye and talent, and a wonderful, sometimes wicked, sense of humor! You do make me laugh, though, everytime I come by your blog I find myself smiling or laughing out loud. <br /><br />And, as per usual, your paintings are gorgeous. I'll never understand how such a relatively simple landscape can capture such mood, such ambiance. Must be your amazing talent!The Sterling Cherubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067220137311888258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984817437506915739.post-19654345283907999932012-09-04T22:37:16.738-04:002012-09-04T22:37:16.738-04:00well it does suck getting old...its hard getting t...well it does suck getting old...its hard getting through it..the time when we once looked in the mirror and it was not a time to judge our bad things...we just looked at our images. Now its not fun, just necessary to pull out those hairs and whatever else needs to be done...ugh!! <br />but I think it would be so fun to see and hear you on video. so reconsider it and be brave and then maybe the rest of us can do it too...just maybe. not saying i will...love the soft landscape paintings...I know not to use the bright colors, I learned that with wall colors.Amy Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622362955890810774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984817437506915739.post-61318152858996664832012-09-04T20:08:20.600-04:002012-09-04T20:08:20.600-04:00Awesome paintings!!!

After opening my own Etsy shop this weekend...I think I could do anything now! I've always thought I could paint but never tried to seriously... <br />I've seen those brushes-- I want to grab some next time I'm there-- at Dollar General! <br />The other thing is, I've seen the $20 kits at Walmart that come in the box... maybe I could start with that. I want to paint ...you've encouraged it for sure! <br /><br />...and you gave me a good chuckle.
