Yes, bravura is the word. The way you can lay down this chaos stuff blows me away. It’s beautiful.

I think you were born to do paintings like this. It is such a great arena for the bravura of your mark making.
Love it!

I saw your work at Dowling Walsh last week, Colin, and I’m really liking your all-over patterning with these floral/field paintings – they show your brushwork so well. I hope you can slow down with the administrative end of things and get some good painting time in during the upcoming stretch of good weather…

Thanks Frank, yeah I was painting in some of the dark soil, and deep greens of the shadows. Glad you like it.

Betsy, This one is for sale. It will be headed to the Dowling Walsh Gallery in Rockland, ME. It’s 24×20″ and $1900. And thanks for the grammar tips. I get a bit sloppy sometimes.

love this painting, Colin. I’m always quite fond really though I do have a discerning eye. Is this one for sale by chance? Consider it a friendly edit… “a lot” is two words, not one – just want you to look like the genius that you are!

Nice fiesta of color Colin. That bit of dark down the middle is well done. Is that dark soil underneath? Lots of stuff I like about it.

I found myself in Portland on Friday and got carried up Congress Street in the overstimulating Friday “Art Walk”. There was a lot of student art and a lot of professional art. I also went to the “Call of the Coast: Art Colonies of New England” exhibit at the Portland Museum. While looking at all these works, I kept thinking “Colin’s stuff is way better”. Sorry, don’t mean to give you a superiority complex, but I think you need to get more of your stuff into Portland. The highlights were an austere Gauguin, and new small and cheerful Renoir and a very small Hopper at the Portland Museum. I also saw your “Oceanfront Pines” on display at the CMCA pre-auction in Rockport and it was very good, indeed. In fact, the collection of work at the CMCA auction was compatible and more interesting than the “Call of the Coast” stuff in the Portland Museum, but that might be my own bias towards more modern realisations. Keep up the good work.
