I would like to take up painting, nice set. joycephotography · 2011-06-03: 15:42

Ooh, these are great, Marsha! So colorful and beautiful & natural settings. And plus, I want that lady's hat in #1 :)) ????? · 2011-06-03: 15:53

I love the softness in the foreground in #3. Looks like a very relaxing hobby. IShuttertoThink · 2011-06-03: 16:13

Sometimes this is exactly how I like to picture fine art; so these are great to me - and I'm sure everyone else... =) smbunation · 2011-06-03: 16:20

Excellent shots !! finbarr · 2011-06-03: 17:17

All great - but I love the b/w one particularly. poshrat · 2011-06-03: 17:20

Just what I'm doing now but in my new courtyard garden. alone. I would love to do this outside but I am rather a shy artist so prefer with other artist too. MoMac · 2011-06-03: 17:28

Absolutely beautiful work Marsha! Your compositions are the perfect illustrations for the definition. I just love how the artists are so naturally blended into the settings! The paint palette is very cool! danrav · 2011-06-03: 17:59

Great colours and great observations. Were these candid shots, or did the artists know? Jarvo · 2011-06-03: 18:43

Wonderful set. I can just imagine you hiding in the bushes to capture these!! girafferacing · 2011-06-03: 18:56

Great set, love seeing artists painting outdoors! darfoster · 2011-06-03: 19:25

looks very interesting marsha :) onlyricky · 2011-06-03: 19:34

Great angles and good shots :) Shaparak · 2011-06-03: 22:25

Beautiful shots Marsha! I love the pallet knife and the paints. See, if I had taken it, I would have had the overwhelming urge to straighten it. Which is weird because I'm really not that conventional. I think it is because when I first joined PB, a blogger (who shall remain nameless) told me repeatedly to straighten my photos. I am so glad you didn't. It is perfect. liveandletlive · 2011-06-03: 23:01

I added #3 to my faves because I am a sucker for painters and paintings. Now I would really love to paint outside. Great set! lyricalthoughts · 2011-06-04: 02:48

Beautiful set, beautiful colours, I imagine the impressionistic paintings :-) hannamagnusson · 2011-06-04: 04:12

I love this set Marsha! #2 looks like a piece of art itself, and the softness of #3 is just amazing.. the b&w and the end, simple and perfect. McMommy · 2011-06-04: 20:29
