I'm also in favor of sketching (even in church) and making color notes. It's very true that the photograph can become more of a crutch than a tool! BTW, I had just dug out the issue of SW Art with the article on you and your work, and was reviewing it the other day. Learned a lot in your workshop -- helpful doing the daily small paintings.

I agree with Jena in that we can see what you're thinking and what you look at to capture the scene. this is great and look forward to these discussions. I don't have things handy and try to remember what I've seen, usually not capturing it. We recently went to the Dominican Republic and the scenes were awesome, local markets and farmers traveling on donkey with their baskets of items. I hope to paint them, if the photos come out.....

Thanks for reminding me to slow down and see!

There are so many times I focus on committing Corinne to memory because the camera will never completely capture the things she does or her sweet and funny expressions.

You make me feel guilty for not having much of an imagination. I wish I was in Tucson looking at those clouds. Great Post! You make me feel guilty for not having much of an imagination.
