Normally I refrain from commenting but this time around I can not resist. Maybe I was compelled by the fact that I was implicated so much this time around.<BR/><BR/>Being true to your philosophy of telling stories with painting I could read much more in your carefully constricted associated text. Of course I have an additional advantage above your normal critiques by the fact that I know these place so well myself. But what the heck something must compensate for my lack of artistic expertise.<BR/><BR/>For instance I could feel the shade and almost smell the associated odor of the moss on the wall while looking at the painting of the stairs. I could sense the relive of the end of the days work in the garden associated in the pair of shoes hinting to fact that they have been taken off only moments ago. The mint in the cattle spoke of you and the combination of your love for the garden and antiques. I could not help to immediately visualize many moments of joy in the garden or “brocante” after an unusual find.<BR/><BR/>However what struck me most was the emotions and many memories of good times that were evoked by looking at the painting of summer kitchen. <BR/><BR/>I believe that artist are feeling good if the can touch people and their emotions with their art. If they can get people to act or react they are in euphoria. Well.... This time around you can reach euphoria because looking at all of this it moves me to stop working immediately....... make may my way home...... to our summer kitchen.... to start a fire ...... so I can be KING..<BR/><BR/>Well done Ronell<BR/><BR/><BR/>HartmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666030998217098201.post-11454212499604369312007-06-08T17:31:00.000+02:002007-06-08T17:31:00.000+02:00lovely as usual...what time is dinner???:> and wh...lovely as usual...what time is dinner???:> and whats hartmann cooking?!Margaret McCarthy Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043152663750140749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666030998217098201.post-14916356130054066472007-06-08T16:43:00.000+02:002007-06-08T16:43:00.000+02:00What a wonderful story teller...
