Plaça sant Josep Oriol (Barcelona)

Thank you so much for adding some of your great work of watercolor excellence to our group, the world's greatest watercolors. Your style and subject matter is absolutely fantastic. I have always admired painters who could use watercolors in the manner you use them. I have tried, but i just can't make it click. Nevertheless, i gain much joy from viewing others works. Your watercolors are among my favorites. We are honored to have your work in our group to share with all who come upon our group, for all who seek out great watercolors. Robert l. Huffstutter, admin for the group.

On way to Kolhapur


On way to Kolhapur

ONE OF VIJAY KAKDE'S BRILLIANT WATERCOLORS..."It reminds me of another era in history, one of the substance of novels by W. Somerset Maughm, one that is best remembered as gone. Those who have read Maughm will understand, those who haven't, nothing significant enough to research unless you are studying Colonialism. We are all glad it is history. Thanks for another great work. Your works keep our minds busy with history, admiration and the mystery of how you are able to paint such beautiful watercolors. You are an artist, that solves the mystery.

WE ARE GETTING A GREAT PORTFOLIO TOGETHER

IF I HAVE BEEN LAX ABOUT GETTING SOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL WATERCOLORS INTO THIS ONLINE BLOG OR JOURNAL, I APOLOGIZE. NOW, HOWEVER, WE ARE GETTING ENOUGH EXCELLENT WORK TO PLAN AN EXHIBIT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THIS SHOULD A MOST EXCELLENT EXHIBIT. THE THEME, I BELIEVE, WILL BE THE "BRILLIANCE OF THE LIGHT, THE WHITE AREAS OF THE PAPER THAT MAKE THE WORK LITERALLY LIGHT UP. THIS IS THE ONE ASPECT OF WATERCOLORS I FIND AMAZING, THE ELEMENT OF THE WORK THAT KEEPS ME LOOKING AT A WORK OF ART LONG AFTER OTHERS HAVE PASSED TO THE NEXT. TO SAY THAT I AM FASCINATED BY A SPACE OF PAPER BEING LEFT ALONE,OR BLANK, MIGHT MAKE SOME QUESTION MY SANITY, BUT IS THAT NOT WHAT WATERCOLOR PAINTING IS ALL ABOUT.

THANKS FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASM DEMONSTRATED BY YOUR POSTINGS. IT IS NOT EASY TO GET A GROUP LIKE THIS ESTABLISHED. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH BRILLIANT ARTISTS IN OUR COOPERATIVE GROUP.

THANK YOU, ROBERT L. HUFFSTUTTER
