Jennifer and I spent one rainy day inside painting and it was wonderful! A fire in the fireplace and sparkly silver on the beautiful wood table. I did a close up of the flowers and candlesticks, she did an interior of the dining room. (a beautiful painting, but washed out by the flash photo). It was a perfect way to complete the visit. It is a treat to see another's palette, color mixing, brushstrokes and just plain notice the different points of view.One of the discussions we had was about values and working to keep the bright spots bright; relative values and using a toned surface or white canvas. Also challenges in seeing our paints in the reduced lighting we had.

Cool! Sounds like a great and worthwhile trip! Keep us posted about what comes next.
Yes, the future is sure a mystery. At this point, I'm just trying to paint and keep up with the day to day. And meshing the different techniques and wisdoms I'm getting.
Thanks for following the "progress"...or at least the movement!
