This piece is his latest to particularly please my eye, but Tipton's endlessly surprising improvisational virtuosity keeps me glued to his work; daily painting at its finest.David Page Coffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538959960447063231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-58958958946346787552009-12-11T16:53:11.598+00:002009-12-11T16:53:11.598+00:00I nominate "Lazy River", by Casey Klahn ...I nominate "Lazy River", by Casey Klahn on his The Colorist blog,<br />http://thecolorist.blogspot.com/2009/07/lazy-river.html<br /><br />Caseys whole River series was stunning.

I like the colours in the water and the moodiness of the sky. The painting suggests both calm and movement, and I find that exciting and enthralling.DweezelJazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102237878838519049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-67584238448429895452009-12-08T23:03:36.819+00:002009-12-08T23:03:36.819+00:00I'd like to nominate Sarah Wimperis painting a...I'd like to nominate Sarah Wimperis painting at the Helford Regatta.<br /><br />http://muddyredshoes.blogspot.com/2009/09/helford-regatta.html<br /><br />I don't recall ever seeing the drama and excitement of fireworks depicted so beautifully.

There is a path that leads you around the lake to all sorts of special places, and these trees are among the most spectacular. The smooth, twisted, sloping trunks are very unusual, you feel you're almost entering another world.Tony Wildishhttp://www.wildish.eu/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-68726218392000918512009-12-08T20:47:59.599+00:002009-12-08T20:47:59.599+00:00I nominate "Gex Church View", by Nat Wil...I nominate "Gex Church View", by Nat Wildish, on the <b>DweezelJazz Art blog</b>, at http://www.dweezeljazzart.com/DJBlog/.<br /><br />The picture was posted on October 16th 2009, in '<a href="http://www.dweezeljazzart.com/DJBlog/2009/10/working-with-photographs-as-reference-for-paintings/" rel="nofollow">Working With Photographs As Reference For Paintings</a>'.<br /><br />This painting shows the view from the church at the top of Gex, looking down the narrow streets to the town hall. Gex is a historic town, with many small streets and alleys to explore, leading to the countryside that surrounds it. I've been walking around there for a few years now, and still haven't seen it all yet.Tony Wildishhttp://www.wildish.eu/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-6219045636676426402009-12-08T20:35:31.567+00:002009-12-08T20:35:31.567+00:00I would like to nominate "Rocky Shores of Lac...I would like to nominate "Rocky Shores of Lac Leman", by Nat Wildish, on the <b>DweezelJazz Art blog</b>, http://www.dweezeljazzart.com/DJBlog/.<br /><br />The picture was posted on September 17th 2009, in '<a href="http://www.dweezeljazzart.com/DJBlog/2009/09/egg-tempera-painting-of-rocky-shores-of-lac-leman/" rel="nofollow">Egg Tempera Painting of “Rocky Shores of Lac Leman”</a>'.<br /><br />This painting captures the calmness of this beautiful lake, the clear waters inviting you to dip your toes in.
