Thanks for posting the in progress shots, as I said I always love to see those; it is a fascinating window into how an artist works, and no two artists ever work exactly the same. I also like the stained glass look with the white lines on the first painting in your post, that is a very interesting look that grabs the eye. I really like your use of raw umber to give a warm glowing feel, I may have to try that on my next painting. As for Mary Blair, here is a few videos that will give you a little more insight into her work (at least what she did for Disney, which is a large amount of her work though she did do work outside of Disney as well). First to go with the theme of this year's tiki oasis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COOKmTKdbW4&feature=related And then a general overview of most of her Disney work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLUkOk9wqZ4 I find a remarkable kinship between her shapes and colors and yours, though you two of course have completely different styles. I think it is also the swinging 1960's feel you both have going on. :wink: I really dig the Bamboo Ben frames too they really set off your work. [ Edited by: tigertail777 2011-08-21 15:58 ]
