Celeste! I want to get lost in this. As a scene, it's beautiful. As a painting, it's expressive and heart felt. Those color moods, and brushstrokes are truly an art in itself. Thanks for painting and expressing such wonderful work.
Oh my god!! This one takes my breath away! I love this! I love the colors, the strokes, the scraping the excitement, the calm, the contrast - all of it! Never - repeat after me - never - paint over this one, you hear me?

I so love your paintings.
Lovely gray day with muted colors. Your paintings are very poetic.
Those neutrals make the colors sing in this lovely square!
Celeste! I want to get lost in this. As a scene, it's beautiful. As a painting, it's expressive and
heart felt.
Those color moods, and brushstrokes
are truly an art in itself.
Thanks for painting and expressing
such wonderful work.
Yet another beauty, Celeste!
A lesser artist would have totally botched this breath-taking scene in paint.
Love the atmosphere of this piece.
And while I'm at it good sketching at Starbucks !!! yes, very interesting subjects.. LOL

I love enlarging your paintings and getting a good look at every stroke.
Oh my god!! This one takes my breath away! I love this! I love the colors, the strokes, the scraping the excitement, the calm, the contrast - all of it! Never - repeat after me - never - paint over this one, you hear me?
Truly arresting and oh so very beautiful, Celeste! You continue to amaze me with your style.
Lovely painting (as usual!). It captures the grey Oregon summer we're having very well!
