Hey Matthew,
Great work, I love it. Great job on the dappled light. Hope you don't mind me asking, but what palette of colors are using?
Best Jason
I guess I deserve that, considering all of my palette posts! I'm still trying to find a palette with which I'm comfortable. This had a very basic beginning: cad. lemon, cad. yellow pale, cad. yellow, cad. orange, yellow ochre, cad. red, alizarin crimson, burnt sienna, burnt umber, cobalt blue, ultramarine blue, viridian, blue ochre, black Roman earth, and flake white. I used lot of Vasari paints, and ended up adding in a few more of their pigments, especially bice, jasper, and capucine deep.
Beautiful work, Matthew! Congratulations on your selection, and I only wish I could be in attendance!
Amazing spillage of light! Takes my breathe away!
Wonderful feeling of light created by awesome technical skill. Love it.
What a stunningly beautiful painting. I am going to the reception on the 10th, and very much looking forward to seeing this in person!
love it, beautiful. Congratulations!
Simply beautiful, Matthew.
Congratulations! That is a beautiful work. I love the dappled light and how it takes my eye around the canvas, but always back to the focal point.
Beautiful work, Matthew, the light is lovely in this. And congratulations on getting into the show! :)
Thank you all for your kind words.
Congratulations! Great painting.
Congratulations on the outstanding painting AND for having it accepted into such a competitive and well-regarded show.
Great job. I hope the exhibit leads to new contacts and opportunities for you.
Keep painting!

p.s. I may not be who I used to be, but I am who you think I am.
GrumpyViking-
Thank you. Your lessons are still a part of all my paintings, and my thoughts on art. I think of you often, and hope you're well.
Keep painting!? I think that was your advice to me from day one... I've got many yards of canvas to go...
Best-
Matt
Thank you for remembering me. I am happy to see (even if it is from a distance) that you are finally realizing some of your vast potential in both your painting and in your writing, thanks in large part, to this wonderful blog.
Keep up the good work.
And thank you for the nickname you gave me. I wasn't sure if you would remember it. It took many years, but I finally got around to using it.
As always, I wish you, and your family, love and happiness.
