Double "D" said...: Awesome Sam,

Great shapes, contrast and color.
I really like the boldness of
your approach.

How do you arrive at the idea?

SamArtDog said...: Hey DD!

Thanks for the comment. Long time no hear. Seems it takes me forever to post an actual piece of art. Did this of trees at the ranch. I am The Monthly Painter. Har har.

How's yer arm? Where are you at with your PT? Gets old, doesn't it? I think of you when I think I'm having a hard day. Then I send you good thoughts. The dogs always send you big slurps.; May 23, 2010 at 7:52 AM
Katherine van Schoonhoven said...: Unique perspective. I like the bold value choices, too. Nice work!; May 23, 2010 at 8:19 AM
SamArtDog said...: Yeah, bold as a brick.

Don Gray said...: Marvelous! You packed so much emotional energy into this simple, abstracted design.; May 23, 2010 at 12:23 PM
Jala Pfaff said...: Ah-ha, so this is what she's been keeping under wraps across the street. Very nice.
Like the love child of Wolf Kahn and Sheila Vaughan.; May 23, 2010 at 3:12 PM
Jala Pfaff said...: P.S.
Word verif.: creast
I didn't iron the laundry, so it got...; May 23, 2010 at 3:13 PM
SamArtDog said...: Thanks, Don. Like the dogs say, "Keep it simple."; May 23, 2010 at 3:14 PM
SamArtDog said...: Jala,
Yikes. A love child? Lucky I didn't throw this baby out with the bath water.

Do Wolf and Sheila know I'm the nanny?; May 23, 2010 at 4:02 PM
Melinda said...: "in the trees" AND you can see the forest.

Beautifully done. The richness of the trees' colors really do create a strong sense of mass.

wv: 'hange'--After you've "creast" your clothing, you might want to 'hange' them up.; May 23, 2010 at 8:25 PM

Word up, dude!; May 24, 2010 at 8:27 AM
Jala Pfaff said...: Hahaha, Melinda! :); May 24, 2010 at 3:29 PM
loriann signori said...: Talk about bold and fearless. That describes you. This one gives such a feeling of space, but then goes and takes it away, unusual contradiction which makes tension and tension is very desirable.; May 24, 2010 at 7:49 PM
SamArtDog said...: Loriann
I try not to know what I'm doing. That way success is guaranteed. And then I get to hear what I did from objective experts like you. Works for me!; May 25, 2010 at 8:55 AM
Sheila Vaughan said...: I do now know you're the nanny. I should like to make a public statement to the effect that Wolf and I have never got it together. I suspect we are both too ancient but who knows. Anyway, the babe is beautiful, strong and uncompromising. Love the broody blues! Jala, my Google word verification here was "worpey". I kid you not.; May 26, 2010 at 4:08 PM
SamArtDog said...: Sheila
Thanks for the compliment. From you, it's respected.; May 26, 2010 at 4:23 PM
Patrice said...: I love this one. It speaks volumes to me...

Very powerful in its deceptive simplicity.

And as for the toes... ouchy!; June 1, 2010 at 9:29 AM
