“Beside Still Waters” – 12″ x 16″ – oil on canvas
Inspired by the 23rd Psalm, this painting of a row of eucalyptuses and deciduous trees beside still waters was an experiment using a more colorist approach than I have attempted in the past. It’s a potential new direction for me. What do you think?

What do I think? I think it is outstanding! Exceptional! Fabulous! I love it, I think your new direction is wonderful–keep it up!!
I love it! It’s one of your most appealing pieces yet. If you feel drawn in this direction I’d run towards it, arms open wide.
I agree with Kathleen and Nancy Bea, it has great appeal and charm. I always love what you do with sky and water and space.
It will be fun to follow where this is taking you.
I love color and this is just fantastic. Will be interested to see your new path and how it develops. Thanks for sharing.

It’s good to associate a painting with a title that is more than just a placename, but sometimes artists go over the top with titles that really sound poncy, highfaluting, or literary lines but this one fits well. Beside still waters gives us enough associatons to to think about.
How BEAUTIFUL! I have just started a new Yahoo! Group called Art in the Word. It is a group for Christian artists of all mediums and has a weekly challenge to create a piece based on scripture or a Christian theme. Our first challenge is Psalm 23:2!!! Your painting captures this verse so beautifully. I would like to invite you to join this talented group of women. You can check out our site here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/artintheword/

Oh, Oh, Oh,!!! This is STUNNING! I love the colors in it! How many ways can I say, “BEAUTIFUL” ?
Karen, I love it. The colors are excellent.
I also LOVE the City Hall – one of my favorite spots. Congrats on the Brand Library show.
Your work is becoming more beautiful and more interesting, though I thought it was beautiful and interesting before.
To echo many others, I love it! I would love to see more experiments in this vein.
Well done on your many achievements these last few days. Well deserved, and beautiful paintings. I love the colour on the town hall (was it a town hall? – the building) and I also like the clouds/mist in the hills on the painting below it that you sold to the same collector. Lucky buyer!
yes yes yes!!! I LOVE the color in this — it is fantastic!
I’m with all the rest – this is beautiful! Especially the colours!
Beautfiul work!! I love the colours you have used and I think you should definitely experiment further wtih this style.
gorgeous piece!!!
Wow, really gorgeous. You are such a confidant painter… it shows!
I love the glow of the sky in this piece. Wonderful.
I think it’s just beautiful and a direction you should take.
Spectacular!
This is a stunning piece! You do beautiful work!
Not only is this really lovely but I have always had a respect for people who can paint well with oils!
LOVE this!! Well done. I really like the strong shapes and colours. Its so confident and really makes a statement.
You should definitely be doing more work like this – you’ve both seen and handled the colour really well.
