I'm pleased you like the pictures, it is very hard to get recognition and it's easy to be self-critical. One just has to keep going and to do more. As it happens I have just submitted six paintings again this year, but I expect most will get rejected as is usually the case. It is very difficult trying to second guess how they think.<br />Yes, Bruce Pearson is a master at creating atmospheric images that combine landscape and bird details, and he is also very fast too, a human dynamo! Hope you can make the galleries again some day? Many thanks again, Richard.Richard Thewlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01141882207934944815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277755852390993394.post-57402048604378781132015-05-14T23:34:26.154+01:002015-05-14T23:34:26.154+01:00Just discovered your blog via Penny Clarke's W...Just discovered your blog via Penny Clarke's Wryneck post of this week.<br />Your picture is well worthy of the SWLA in my opinion...<br />your own comments sum it up....<br />you can almost smell the guano!<br />As I type, I am surrounded by pictures and sculptures that we've bought at the Mall Galleries SWLA exhibition...<br />including quite a few by my old friend Bruce Pearson.<br />Unfortunately, now we live in France...<br />near the Brenne....<br />we no longer go!!<br />It was always difficult getting there from Leeds...<br />let alone rural France.<br />Expect more comments...<br />what I've seen scrolling down thus far is very nice stuff...<br />I look more when I have some spare time.<br />Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.com
