However it takes me so long to print out the nearly 300 cards I send, that maybe next year I could get them printed by Higgs or someone and tout them around the charities or even shops in Henley.Bill's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644151139293130846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859687831698414080.post-7098134025198066592009-10-27T09:20:54.610+00:002009-10-27T09:20:54.610+00:00Having had internet speed problems ["You'...Having had internet speed problems ["You've gorra wet joint, guv! It ain't groundin' like. But I can't go up the pole on me own - elf 'n' safety, y'see! Anuvver bloke'll have ta come aaht." The translation of which is "There's a bad joint in the box up the pole and despite the fact I have a long ladder on the roof of my van, it's nearly 4 o'clock so I am off home now and I will be back tomorrow . . . maybe!"] I've only just been able to properly load your Christmas card. <br /><br />The detail is nothing short of astonishing even to cycle wheel marks amongst the foot prints in the snow. <br /><br />I'd quite understand if you wanted to keep these personal to yourself, but I'm sure a local charity would be most grateful if you were to make them available for sale.RG9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859687831698414080.post-23781430071466159432009-10-26T17:58:08.512+00:002009-10-26T17:58:08.512+00:00Hi Joy,

Such a breathtaking view... brings you right into winter just gazing at the lovely scene :) <br /><br />Enjoy following your blog each week and thinking of you often :) My daughter is turning FOUR... time to do another miniature soon perhaps?! :)joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673268842531827642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859687831698414080.post-75819020387999357062009-10-24T22:45:31.148+01:002009-10-24T22:45:31.148+01:00Bill, The Christmas card painting is stunning.

Since you mentioned avoiding the use of white, have you utilized liquid mask in any way or just painted around the white parts of the snow?<br /><br />The impressionist portrait in progress is so beautiful in color and interesting to see. Did you prepare an impasto surface in the gesso itself to achieve it's texture?Mona Diane Connerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022399915344870046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859687831698414080.post-11470412832401917302009-10-24T21:13:27.575+01:002009-10-24T21:13:27.575+01:00Love the impressionist style, it's so clearly ...Love the impressionist style, it's so clearly Rolf even though it's not finished yet.<br />I always remember the direction to change the clocks by a little rhyme I once heard on Blue Peter... <i>"Spring forward, fall back"</i>.

I hope you were gentle on those tummy muscles. <br />My own launch went into winter storage a couple of weeks ago and this time, rather than entrusting it to a boatyard, I am doing the winter repairs and rebuilding the windscreen myself with help from my sons, one of whom has maintained and repaired skiffs and other rowing craft.RG9noreply@blogger.com
