- Tell us a bit about yourself:
- I'M 66 AND HAVE BEEN PAINTING FOR YEARS. JUST STARTED BACK AFTER MANY YEARS NOT PAINTING. I'M A IMPRESSION PAINTER AND LOVE WHAT I CAN FIND IN NATURE.
AT ONE TIME I HAD A FEW BUCKS IN MY POCKET AFTER SELLING MY COMPANY AND I DECIDED TO TRAVEL THE USA FOR ONE YEAR . OUT OF THAT YEAR I MIGHT HAVE SPENT 3 NIGHTS IN A MOTEL THE REST OF THE TIME I SEVERIAL CAMPED TO TEST SOME OF MY SKILLS.... I COULD NEVER GET LOST BECAUSE IF THE SUN GOT IN MY EYES I TURNED EATHER NORTH OR SOUTH... BUT I DID MISS OUT ON THE WELL KNOWN TOURIEST VISTAS TRAVELING THE BACK ROADS AND BACK PACKING UP INTO THE HIGH COUNTRY AFFORDED ME VISTAS THAT I COULDN'T SEE ANYWHERE ELSE.....I'M A ADVID KAYAKER AND HAVE BEEN IN MOST OF THE LARGE RIVERS IN THE USA AND ALL SURROUNDING OCEANS........ THE THINGS THAT HAVE PASSED BEFORE MY EYES IS AMAZING. SO BEFORE I LAY DOWN FOR THAT LONG DIRT DAP I HAVE MANY THINGS TO PAINT... I DON'T MEASURE SUCCESS BY HOW MUCH OR HOW MANY YOU SELL... I DID THAT BEFORE AND ALL THOSE PAINTINGS ARE GONE FOREVER . I WANT THEM AROUND ME FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS . TO SEE WHAT I CAN CHANGE IN THE NEXT PAINTING FOR THE BETTER AND TO LEAVE MY CHILDREN A PART OF THERE DAD AFTER I'M GONE...... RON

I agree, wish I could paint as well as your "calm valley", for those few moments as the fog lifts from the earth all was at peace... it would be amazing to be able to paint such things.

- Hi Ron,
You do great work. You have a varied portfolio like myself. I am not sure what model the car is, you may be right about being a Packard.

Roena King said… - Well Ron, it all seems to have been a false alarm! IDP is not closing. Very annoying as I spent a lot of time joining a new site that was not needed, and I was up until midnight saving the things on my blog to my computer. I have been really involved with another site because of the color journey I am on. It is against IDP rules for me to direct you away from this site. May I please just once send you this information regular e-mail? The information is about Richard Robinson, a New Zealand artist that does color .... and in fact he sells the color course I joined from Barry John Raybould. Remember, you looked him up and said how you thought he was very good. Please allow me to sed you information and tell you all about what I am excited about concerning color and his lessons. Let me know. Ro

- Thank you for your kind works Ron. Yes, I agree, Plein air allows one to see the true depth to put on a painting. Taking a picture also helps for reference. But finish painting on location...

Mary Chalmers Main said… - Thanks for your comment on Hot Stuff! Your journeying paid off. I like your work very much indeed. I don't really want to part with any more of my paintings either, but need money to buy more acrylics, oils, pastels, canvases, watercolours, or the world will have to do without MY artwork. Pensions don't go far!!

Graham said… - Ron thanks for the comment. There is a degree of planning required and I do try to get as accurate a pencil drawing as possible before I start, but do not follow the lines rigidly if that makes sense. I enjoyed looking at the variety of your work, particularly Amish Country and Daughter

Elisabet,
Wow! This is full of colour and life. A great match for the motion in the water. I'm amazed that you were able to paint this so fast and so well.

Elena,
I'm happy to continue the challenge. I feel I have learned a lot by doing the challenge paintings for the past year, and think it's only fair that I start giving back. I am also willing to share the duties. If you have a photograph that you…
