Yes, I thought of you as I wrote this and used the word 'magical.' <br /><br />While artists can travel the full range of emotions quite often (what an understatement), we are mostly optimistic and happy--as long as we are painting! Art heals us. Art heals the world.<br /><br />I'm so glad you are in the world...and that there is a Linnyland.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418000363253871722.post-68102571819563575512011-08-21T10:38:44.885-07:002011-08-21T10:38:44.885-07:00I love the post title, the post and the beautiful ...I love the post title, the post and the beautiful painting!

...Always an adventure, Edgar, always an adventure.<br /><br />Thank you for your generous words about the painting. I'm not sure it's finished, though. It is talking to me, but I can't yet hear what it needs.<br /><br />I'm not sure about the water connections. Interesting.<br /><br />Keep painting! Keep scratching!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418000363253871722.post-88552426815819652982011-08-20T15:15:01.073-07:002011-08-20T15:15:01.073-07:00Traveling does get real, doesn't it?

But the magical skies, the views, the amazing colors... oh, how I wish things had stayed straight!<br /><br />Still wondering about all the water connections. Did you notice that two of the places we stayed at had reversed screws on their cold water faucets? It was like a thing.<br /><br />I'm so glad we came home safe, and the car held out for the whole trip.<br /><br />Your Pedernal painting... that's some good color, and beautiful brushwork. I love this composition and the treatment of the surface. Special mountain.<br /><br />I could see how, each twist in the road brought a new 'gasp' of delight as the shapes, colors and dominant horizon shifted into new abstracts. And you got pictures!<br /><br />Your work keeps inspiring me, and your courage and tenacity.

You'll understand this.<br /><br />You know, I've so enjoyed your travel adventures. You inspired me to approach this post more as a journal entry and story telling. I'm not really good at this, but it was fun getting the big points down.<br /><br />I wish you could have seen the calla lilies in person. Just wow, especially for a desert rat.<br /><br />Virtual hugs!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418000363253871722.post-52419546833604356942011-08-18T21:49:43.981-07:002011-08-18T21:49:43.981-07:00Hello Betsy,

It's really hard to choose which photos to put up, and I'm really still recovering from the trip, sorting out images, etc.<br /><br />You're right about inspiration for years to come. Yes, I do think it was the way it was meant to be. I've got a lot of cogitatin' to do about it all.<br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by. Your comments are always so thoughtful and kind. It means a lot to me.<br /><br />Virtual hugs...Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418000363253871722.post-74460471698978799022011-08-17T07:06:08.433-07:002011-08-17T07:06:08.433-07:00Wonderful post!

And such scenery with the desert carved into abstract shapes and colors -- images already providing inspiration and for years to come. No wonder O'Keeffe was so inspired there. It didn't turn out as you had planned, but perhaps the trip was the way it was meant to be. Not to be trifled with!Donald DIddamshttp://diddamsdigitalart.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
