I have a hiker's headlamp that I purchased for nocturnal work, but alas have not used it yet. I hate to keep expanding my blog roll (don't like it to get unwieldy as I use it to surf the blog-o-sphere), but your work is so good, varied, and interesting, that I must! I', also a David K. "K" is for Keith. My Mom is origionally from England (WW2 bride!) so I love lamb (Calif. and Aussie)David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-41419470579583995892008-10-02T01:27:00.000-07:002008-10-02T01:27:00.000-07:00David, I envy your versatility.

Landscapes and portraits with assured confidence and style.<BR/><BR/>Being primarily a watercolour painter I appreciate the watercolour version of the trio here.<BR/><BR/>A friend and I once experimented with nocturnal plein air under moonlight. Using oils and not being able to read the labels or identify the colour, just by matching what we could make out of the tube contents with the scene before us made for some surprising and not altogether unpleasant results.<BR/>I'm sure you've tried this, it's a blast seeing the results in daylight.<BR/>It's a good exercise in reading tones and simplifying shapes.David Burgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381162837513099079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-75402213781648385652008-09-29T19:37:00.000-07:002008-09-29T19:37:00.000-07:00My pleasure, Helene.My pleasure, Helene.David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-41540075418123636012008-09-29T12:54:00.000-07:002008-09-29T12:54:00.000-07:00Yosemite, one day maybe!Thank you for that awake-d...Yosemite, one day maybe!<BR/>Thank you for that awake-dream-minutehjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825054336470744829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-1844764263415016502008-09-26T18:43:00.000-07:002008-09-26T18:43:00.000-07:00Hi Jan.

The watercolor color palette is livelier and lighter. I personally like them both for those reasons. Hey, we all know that art is subjective.
