It kind of seemed like it might be too over-the-top. I'm glad that it conveys something real. <BR/><BR/>I dropped by your site! Nice work! I'll be looking through it some more.Connie Kleinjanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078134310874123528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545708127121757749.post-1680855736807162152009-03-12T10:14:00.000-07:002009-03-12T10:14:00.000-07:00I'm new to viewing your blog, but am enjoying your...I'm new to viewing your blog, but am enjoying your abstracts very much. You do have that most important element--from the gut. <BR/><BR/>I also went to your website and read your artist's statement. Your first paragraph says it all! What you've written comes from the heart and that expression jumps from the words to the reader. It doesn't appear melodramatic in the least. Maybe that's all you need.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545708127121757749.post-62399968427206282152009-03-12T08:56:00.000-07:002009-03-12T08:56:00.000-07:00Hi Connie,You asked about the texture of the sushi...Hi Connie,<BR/><BR/>You asked about the texture of the sushi painting. It's a recycled canvas so, it's gesso over an unsuccessful painting which gave it lots of bumps.Kim VanDerHoekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887812083449239276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545708127121757749.post-60007635832806980052009-03-11T19:57:00.000-07:002009-03-11T19:57:00.000-07:00After your comment on my blog I am totally jealous...After your comment on my blog I am totally jealous! You've gotten to travel to all those wonderful places AND sample their sushi! I bet Tokyo did have the best. I would go there in a heart beat if I could. Sadly, my husband doesn't like sushi and with our tight budget right now I haven't had any in almost a year. *Sniff*<BR/><BR/>BTW - Sandy's work is amazing!<BR/><BR/>I think the title for this is very appropriate. When I look at it I feel enveloped by it. Lovely, really lovely!<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with the galleries, I hope they love your work as much as I do.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and one of the art associations I belong to gave us a questionnaire to fill out that is suppose to help develop an artist statement. If you want me to email you the form let me know.Kim VanDerHoekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887812083449239276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545708127121757749.post-82511728032375904532009-03-11T19:31:00.000-07:002009-03-11T19:31:00.000-07:00Hi Diana.

I'm learning to go by what feels right, and right now the abstracts feel right. But I have a hankerin' to try reductionsim painting (I made that up) with a still life: paint it again, eliminating all unnecessary details. And again after that, simplifying even more. Might love it. Might not. :)Connie Kleinjanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078134310874123528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545708127121757749.post-69844199077295411172009-03-11T19:10:00.000-07:002009-03-11T19:10:00.000-07:00Looks like you've been having a lot of fun with th...Looks like you've been having a lot of fun with these abstracts.
