Hi Kristen,
Thanks so much, good to hear from you again. I like your painting of that dog titled, Kisa. Nice work.
Happy painting to you my friend,
Todd

A very peaceful painting. Makes me wish I was planning a trip to the coast sooner than I am.

Love this one Todd. The composition is so very beautiful.

Todd Bonita said...

Hi Beth,
Thanks for leaving a comment. There is really something about the coast- Im with you. We were out by the Maine coast all afternoon and I had to pinch myself.

Pierre,
So nice to see you in my inbox...I have been a fan of your exquisite paintings since you started blogging. I think you are extraordinary. If you havnt seen Pierres work, please click on his link to see some very sensative observation in the hands of an extremely skilled painter.

Hey there Matey!... What a treasure... a veritable small lapis lazulli gem it is Todd!

And ...oh so clever! Lovers!....the gulls... or Todd and the punt? Me thinks some double entendre at work here Matey!HAR DE HAR!

Good painting... and Happy Summer to "You" my Friend and your lovely family!

Warmest regards,
Bruce

Todd Bonita said...

Bruce,

Nyaaaar, me scurvy dog...thems gulls be lovers...Heartys the likes of wich ye have never gazed eye upon. The empty punt in the fore tis the misfortune that befell them hearts three weeks 'fore. Aaar! Scourge of the wicked seas...If you're not careful, she'll fillet ye heart like a skinny haddock.

All the best to the likes of ye.

Luminous...with that marvelous sense of anticipation you somehow capture. A frozen moment on the verge of change.

Todd Bonita said...

Thank you Don,
Always appreciate your observation...your work is as stunning as ever by-the-way..I'm a regular at your sight.
Good to see your name.
All the best my friend,
Todd

Loved the pirate chat and the painting. Very peaceful and serene. Beautiful and calming....

Todd Bonita said...

Ha-haa, thanks Ross...A little pirate talk is good for the soul every once and again.
So is a serene boat painting.
Thank you my friend.
Regards,
Todd
