Never heard of Felicity House before, but I will look at the links to her works.<br /><br />She even makes beans and apples look beautiful.<br /><br />A friend likes Nell Blaine's and Jane Friedlich's water colors. Some of these remind me of theirs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-75576876928963622072013-04-22T16:36:50.479-04:002013-04-22T16:36:50.479-04:00I also love those oil crayons which seem impossibl...I also love those oil crayons which seem impossible to control, Mark. I work in watercolor using Dr. Martin's liquid colors. I've never really spent a great deal of time with pastel. Too intimidating. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-2325302756258579622013-04-22T16:35:26.621-04:002013-04-22T16:35:26.621-04:00You're welcome, Peggy.

Working in reverse isn't easy, but I have found success beginning paintings by establishing mid-range colors first.Mark D.

The best example of these here, I think, is "Two English Plums" - maybe a reference to whatever is in the jars on the shelf? maybe, as you point out, a mis-labeling.<br /><br />Thanks again for this series!Debbie Rodgers @Exurbanishttp://www.exurbanis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-81294304551665202232013-04-22T06:02:15.633-04:002013-04-22T06:02:15.633-04:00Some wonderful pictures, here, Yvette.
