I plan to post current paintings on my blog site. I'm not much of a writer but I do love to paint. I do oils and pastels and I teach workshops. I plan to sometimes post demos and talk about how to create a painting as well.

These three oil paintings are fantastic, Aline. I especially love "Along the Dirt"....My eyes take me all over the canvas ...I would love to be riding along the dirt roads....beautiful shadows in the foreground! Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!
Aline! Gosh. Calm down--You sound way too excited about these pieces... I'm kidding. You sound a bit unexcited when, in fact, they are glorious! You really are doing what you set out to do: abstraction of landscape. NOT a very easy thing to achieve but you've done it brilliantly here. You have used such simple masses yet convey so much 'detail' that is all in the viewer's head. I love the high horizon lines in the landscapes--gives you room for lots of 'planes' as the eye drifts down & around. You have such a gift for impressionism. When I try it, the result often looks like a 6 yr old's art on the fridge. Oh well. It takes practice. You've clearly put in your 10K hours, Aline. You're The Master! L&K, MaryB (Happy New Year to you!)
