Description
Surprise! I did another piece for Deercember! And I'm only three days late!!!
How's everybody been? I've been so busy moving, packing and unpacking, and most of my art supplies are still boxed up, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of it, so I thought I'd try to get more Deercember art done.
Tools: iPad Pro + Apple Pencil + Procreate

HEY!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Congratulations on whatever you deserve to be congratulated about! (...how's THAT for an all-purpose greeting?)
Kate, my friend, this is absolutely your finest work, beautifully rendered, I am completely gobsmacked by it's wonderfulness! ----and keep in mind that I don't often allow my gob to be smacked like this. I have a very sensitive gob. You do what the truly great artists do----continue to get better and better, each new picture an improvement on the last, repeatedly exhibiting a dedication and love for the medium and subject matter that can only come from one place. Schenectady. ...no, no, I meant to say, the heart. Anyway, this is a beautiful holiday painting, and should you offer it as a print, kindly let me know...
...and speaking of let me know, since it sounds like you are changing locations (...still on the lam from the Feds,eh? You GO, girl!) I wonder if you would consider giving me (by note) an update on a new snail-mail address for you.
I wish you a Blessed and heartfelt Christmas with family, friends, or whomever is fortunate enough share your company this Holiday season, my dear friend KJL..................---Ric C.

Hello, I'm back..........
...Y'know, KJ, it doesn't surprise me that you would be thinking that I consider "...this painting?" among your best pictures, because I learned a long time ago that any artist worth his/her salt is NEVER ( or SHOULD never be) totally satisfied with a particular piece because perfection in art is an impossibility; there is always something that should be altered, improved upon, tweaked, etc, and even then it STILL remains unsatisfactory to its creator. "An artists NEVER finishes a painting, he just goes on to the next one." I agree with whoever said that, and it has certainly been my personal experience in my humble endeavors.
...however, as an OBSERVER, not creator, I CAN find perfection in a painting, sculpture, whatever, because I am not privileged to what the artist envisioned it to be and why he doesn't think the work lives up to that vision. And therefore I can look at this beautiful portrait you have created, the color choices you've made, the highlighting and composition, and conclude that this is ---to me--- among your finest works. What you consider flaws I apparently see as assets; your messy is my inspired.
...you are aware, certainly, that Vincent V G went through several periods of self-doubt and loathing and feeling that his pictures were rubbish, so, go figure. I have many times had the same feelings as you--"I can't BELIEVE someone is sending me compliments on THIS awful drawing!" But I have learned that they see it through their eyes, not mine, so I say thank you and move on to the next---infinitely better---drawing.
.........once again, Merry Christmas 2019 to you and friends and family, and thanks very much for the snail-mail contact. Now onward to 2020
Ric C.
