Sondra Van Huss - Still Lifes in Oil

Thanks, Sondra ! I'm glad that you like my artworks.Greetings !

Thank you. I have finally discovered how to respond.

Hi Sondra, Thank you for your generous compliments on my work, I can tell that you are very passionate about art, your paintings are awesome! Best wishes new friend, Scott

Thanks Sondra for your kind comment, daily painting for me is primarily for self improvement.

Sondra, I see Holden on the map.The farthest north I've been in Maine was Belfast. I'd like to see more of that area some day. Castine, Blue Hill, Deer Isle.One of my wife's favorite writers was E.B White who had a salt water farm in Brooklyn.He wrote some great short stories and articles for the New Yorker, co-authored the revised book on "Elements of Style." My parents
honeymooned in a place called Camp Eggemoggen, no doubt on the
Eggemoggen Reach. This was back around 1937. Love the Farnsworth. Saw a fine show there a few years back,"Capturing Nureyev, James Wyeth Paints the Dancer." "Seven Deadly Sins" is coming to the Brandywine River Museum here in Chester County in the Fall. My favorite in that series called "The Warning," pictures a sea gull flying close to the waves of the sea. The museum shop at the Brandywine has a very large framed and signed giclee of that for almost $1500. If I had the means, I would buy it!I live quite near Chadds Ford in Chester County where the Wyeths live. My wife's great aunt and James Wyeth helped start the museum. The building was an old grist mill sitting on the banks of the Brandywine River. The architect did a beautiful job with this old brick mill in converting it to a museum venue. It houses all three generations of Wyeths, N.C., Andrew and James.By the way, not far from the Farnsworth (if it's still there) is one of the best restaurants in Maine Called "Primo." It sits on the border between Rockland and Owl's Head. I think the constant rain we've had all during this month has finally abated. Have a great day!

Thanks Sandra-as you know, its always nice to hear words f appreciation. I enjoy your work as well!

Sandra many thanks for your kind words about my work, and sure to the friends thing. Best wishes Paul

Thank you very much. Considering how different we work! But I love still lives and yours are so good. I especially like your apples.

Hi Sondra, thanks for the kind comments. The still life paintings are painted in 3 to 4 hours each day, the point behind painting these little studies is to loosen up.

Beautiful work Sondra, wow!
