I also really like Silver synthetics and for bristle Robert Simmons and Killingtons are great. Email me if you would like exact model #'s.<br /><br />Amanda, it's amazing how big 6x8 starts to feel when you've done a few!<br /><br />Bridget, for painting in the car I just try and get paint that missed the canvas cleaned up while it's still wet. I also find that Armor All Multi-purpose cleaner does a great job of getting dry paint out of my particular car's upholstery.To a degree everything in my life has some paint on it, just part of the deal.liz wiltzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968282661175393214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992188361901924074.post-84965889627442839672010-06-04T18:08:23.184-06:002010-06-04T18:08:23.184-06:00Think you're really succeeding in your aim - t...Think you're really succeeding in your aim - to rekindle your love of landscape.

When I look at your landscapes I find it hard to believe they are only 6x8. They feel like larger pieces.Amanda Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17316433218408677789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992188361901924074.post-87946551139798118952010-06-04T17:36:32.563-06:002010-06-04T17:36:32.563-06:00Great

Different scenes, bit still beautiful. <br /> Just read your comments on brushes. Hit home with me. I love my windsor Newton monarch brushes but they don't hold a lot of paint. A teacher I am working with noe has been trying to get me to convert. What brushes do you recommend?carol morgan carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097740695077840231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992188361901924074.post-55740297514577978962010-06-03T21:05:05.237-06:002010-06-03T21:05:05.237-06:00These are both beautiful.

And you got my hooked, so I posted my first of a ten part series (chickened out of 25 at the last minute, unsure if I could find that many scenes in my chosen location). Thanks Liz, your enthusiasm (and hopefully discipline as well) are contagious, as well as inspiring.Bobbi Heathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235452539131042733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992188361901924074.post-17629004814982998852010-06-03T19:05:13.146-06:002010-06-03T19:05:13.146-06:00Thanks Carol!

One is a wealth of color and value information that is lost in a photograph. The more important one is a connection with nature that occurs on a deep level when you stand in one place and paint for a time.liz wiltzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968282661175393214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992188361901924074.post-4271425706578336122010-06-03T18:57:38.333-06:002010-06-03T18:57:38.333-06:00I am really admiring your discipline.

Pretty comfortable painting in my studio.<br />Good luck!carol morgan carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097740695077840231noreply@blogger.com
