I am really enjoying seeing these larger works on the blog. Love the designs in these two.
The shadow and reflections in this one are especially well done.

Don, Your images are appearing "loud & clear", on my computer. These last two larger images are awesome (I don't like to use that over-used word, but I am speechless.) I am so impressed with you work and look forward to receiving an image from you every day.

Don Gray said...

Hi Frank--many thanks. What you're doing with your "grab bag" palette is amazing!

Don Gray said...

Susan, thanks for your kind comments and for letting me know you can see the images OK. Apparently I'm the only person in the world who can't see the images on my blog :(

Don Gray said...

Appreciate your visit, Judy--thanks. Love the figures and portraits you've been posting recently.

Don Gray said...

David, I'm happy to discover your fine work. Thanks for commenting.

Wow! Stunning, really stunning - the reflections and that light - your talent really shows with this one Don.

Triecia, I so appreciate that.

A beautiful painting. Just like being there without needing to swat mosquitoes.

This is a beautiful striking composition. I love it!

Mary Sheehan Winn said...

very well done. I can see the pictures as you mentioned in the email that they weren't appearing.
I like your work very much, Don.

Don Gray said...

Thanks, Onpainting, aka Lisa and/or Bill. Yes, I waded through swarms of bloodthirsty mosquitoes, but I didn't mind...anything for ART.

Don Gray said...

Thanks for the visit, Jeff, and for the encouraging word. I enjoy your paintings as well as your links to interesting artists.

Don Gray said...

Hi Mary, thanks for the kind word. Thanks too for letting me know about the images. I'm still stumped on why I can't see the images on my site. I installed a new router last night, but no help.

These are awesome Don, I'm loving these larger pieces. The colors in the water are beautifully painted and really harmonious choices.
Best,
Todd

Don Gray said...

Hi Todd--I sure thank you for your supportive comments.

I'm speechless. Word's don't work here, I guess that's why we paint. Beautiful work..

Just noticed a comment from my sister on your blog, After reading her's I see we felt the same way, Hi Sue! Images are looking great on my screen too.

Don Gray said...

Hi Steve--Wow, thank you so much, it means a great deal to me when you say it. And Susan is your sister--small blog world, eh?
