I am finding myself resistant to the treadmill. I’ll talk to myself about it. Thanks for the visit!<BR/><BR/>Willow: I *am* sore. This weekend I will be walking out in nature, and I hope walking on the ground vs, asphalt will help. And I will be less sore the more I do. I don’t seem to get a walk in everyday, but I am going to keep up the effort.

I...I just so enjoy the comments you all leave here. I have been leaving comments at your blogs, but in some formats the word verification is not working! Oliag and Ms. R Rose, your blogs haven’t let me leave comments. I have seen the photos of the grandkids and the striped cows. All adorable! And other blogs have een having this problem too. So, know I have been visiting, and I bet other people are also. <BR/><BR/>Mary Ann: “dark before the light”, what a subject! And I love Wolf Kahn too. He is so gentle.<BR/><BR/>Annie: Wow, Annie. Thanks very much. I consider you the writer, so I am touched by your compliment. I am letting my words flow these days.<BR/><BR/>Ms. R. Rose; I think you will enjoy Wolf Kahn. <BR/><BR/>Not mass produced; I have been eyeing your shoe icon for a while. Are those white shoes with the patina of age on them? <BR/><BR/>B and W: White is beautiful. <BR/><BR/>Rhonda: 6 miles! I like that you se an Om symbol. I think your blog is one I tried to leave a comment on also. Nice to meet you too.<BR/><BR/>Margaret: I find your comments insightful; serenity, breathing room, simplified; all lovely words.<BR/><BR/>Mary: We are due for a talk! I am sure no one has an empty bucket! You are a deep painter. Don’t worry about the words. It’s the painting that says so much.<BR/><BR/>Barry: I adore that question “What else can white do?” Thank you for the visit. I enjoyed your blog this morning. I’ll be back to read more.<BR/><BR/>Willow: I wish you had a treadmill too. Your resolve shows. Is there a mall near by where you can walk in the morning before the shops open? My Uncle did that in Anchorage Alaska. It was pretty cold there too!<BR/><BR/>Derrick: I like the colors of mustard. I like many colors actually, just love the neutrals a tad more….<BR/><BR/>Babs: Every piece becomes my favorite for at least a while. Thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>Jeane: I hadn’t thought of it as The Old Bones Series, but when I read your comment before dashing off to work this morning, I was enthralled by the idea of an Old Bones Series. I have so many ideas…. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Patrice: Thank you. I have always loved white. It will be fun to see how this series evolves, as they always do go somewhere I hadn’t expected.<BR/><BR/>Robyn: White weathered colors, earthy colors; we see beauty in similar ways I think.

Each element is placed perfectly. I love white. While many find it a boring colour, I love the way it makes me breath a little easier (yes, there's a lot of white around me). I also have two books about Wolf Kahn's work. His ability to create the energy of landscape through simplified forms is such a strength. It seems simplicity is important to me but I keep piling information in my work. I'm thinking about that. Visiting your site keeps me focused on these thoughts.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-52842975192926822242009-02-24T02:01:00.000-08:002009-02-24T02:01:00.000-08:00I came from Willow, via Reya.
