It sure seems early but who can argue with the signs of spring!?Ken Januskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984782169460110520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618025896103645633.post-13459105299081484182009-01-29T09:21:00.000-05:002009-01-29T09:21:00.000-05:00Hi Ken,Glad you stopped by my site so I could find...Hi Ken,<BR/>Glad you stopped by my site so I could find you! I so agree with your comment about values. Its the value differences that help lead our eye through the painting and to the focus. I love to do that with color too, but the paintings I enjoy the most do both.<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed my visit.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301484477954719161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618025896103645633.post-27705699395454735222009-01-28T09:43:00.000-05:002009-01-28T09:43:00.000-05:00Hi Pam,I'm happy that the phrase strikes you and t...Hi Pam,<BR/><BR/>I'm happy that the phrase strikes you and that you find it useful. My guess is that like good drawing it's something that just never goes out of style. I've spent much of my life as an abstract artist. But even during my most abstract days good draftsmanship has always struck me, and I think a good use of values as well.<BR/><BR/>It's also something I need to keep as a constant goal!Ken Januskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984782169460110520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618025896103645633.post-31935489149144656452009-01-27T11:14:00.000-05:002009-01-27T11:14:00.000-05:00What a great phrase "orchestration of values" is. ...What a great phrase "orchestration of values" is.
