I will always love painting landscapes but that does not mean to take away my efforts to minimize the idea abstractly. Whether I am successful at it or not is yet to be determined!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-2532178005573555092012-11-07T22:13:23.076-05:002012-11-07T22:13:23.076-05:00It is so interesting to see the contrast in your w...It is so interesting to see the contrast in your work now. Your new outback series and minimal art are very special and I suspect appeal to a smaller market.The trick is to try and find the direction you want to go. I have dealt with this for years and it's not easy.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-31943968721020323462012-11-05T06:54:13.256-05:002012-11-05T06:54:13.256-05:00Ha!

But I decided to delete the post and it took me a few more days to understand what was happening with my art direction and I wanted my blog to better explain the process. I appreciate your love of representational landscape and hope you will find a way to relate to these new abstract works.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-53521707848999863392012-11-03T09:01:30.524-04:002012-11-03T09:01:30.524-04:00I am a bit confused right now and am counting on m...I am a bit confused right now and am counting on my creative process to take me into the calm.
