  5. You are right - there are so many color possibilities with just 3 tubes of paint. You have done an amazing job of discovering them. Such color harmony too. Just think, you won't have to pack so many paints! Have a wonderful time painting in Colorado.

  6. This is another beautiful painting. I was really interested in it because I know that the picture should take your eye into its center (which yours does) but whenever I have attempted to do a scene with a river in it, I always have the river coming towards me. I have an instinctive feeling that if it is going away from me it is going up hill! (yours doesn't give me that feeling) :)
