Those are beautiful and very true to life, Melissa! I know, I was there! I'll tell EDelMar, he will be so pleased to see it!

Thank you so much, my boyfriend is very happy to hear that! He used different Lightning Flat photos to make this painting (all of them posted here on the Lightning Flat thread!. I will send you and EdelMar a PM once it is finished, so I can send you a jpg or something! The pictures were quite an inspiration for him!

It's the natural response of one genius artiste for another, Oh Venerable SongTweaker.  :)

If you or your boyfriend or anyone else is interested, here is a link to an essay I wrote about one of my visits to Lightning Flat. The painting made it all come back to me again.

I printed it out a while ago and then read it and it made me cry! It was so beautifully written, I could see everything right in front of me. You would probably get a kick out of the fact that I keep the print-out in my copy of the short story! I told JW to read it, but he hasn't yet, he's been so busy painting! I will force him to do this before he finishes it, though!

Thank you, he is getting better and better with every painting! I still don't know how he does it, but I am very proud!!!

Melissa, your boyfriend's work-in-progress is just beautiful. It really reminds me of Andrew Wyeth (and come to think of it, Annie Proulx paints a bit like Wyeth as well, but in words rather than the brush). At any rate, thank you for sharing, and let your boyfriend know how much he is appreciated here.
