Marie,
Thanks for your kind words. They made my day (and probably all of next week). I so enjoyed your photos–I spent some of the best years of my life in a darkrroom, many happy memories.
Maurice
Thank you for following my page – looking at your work, it feels like I’ve caught the attention of one of the masters. What a beautiful collection of Turner-esque paintings!
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I visited your site—-wonderful paintings. In answer to your question, most abstract artists sign on the back of their canvas.
You are creating the visual poetry I hope to achieve one day in my own work. Thanks for visiting my site and for sharing your beautiful paintings. I’m honored by your attention.
Thanks for regularly checking out my work and for Liking my posts. Your work and your concerted efforts to get it out there are impressive. Wishing you luck.
I just viewed your site. I see we share a common vision. I thought I was the only one who admired Wolf Kahn and Joan Mitchell.
PS And your paintings are a joy to see.
Hi Maurice, Your landscape paintings remind me of Turner, your colors are really rich! Have you been in the Rotunda Gallery at the Corcoran Museum, in DC? They’ve a great collection of his work. I read in one of your earlier comments that you like Joan Mitchell’s work, I’ve always been taken with her colors. Thanks for looking at my art.
Morning Fog, The Lake and The Sentinel and Gold on Water particularly caught my eye and I enjoyed on closer inspection as well. I’ll have to come back.
Maurice, thank you so much for “liking” my post. And I’m so glad you did because I have now gotten to see your magnificent work. Its moody and ethereal qualities immediately put me in mind of Turner. Very inspiring work!
All the best,
Marsha
Maurice, every image in your post could inspire a poem with their beauty! I love landscapes, and would be happy one day to write a poem for anyone of your choice. The spirit that comes to life in each is so very soothing. Blessings my friend! Thank you for your visit!
I do abstraction/figurative when I DO paint therefore we are different. But I want to know how you get so much light in your work. I will aspire to that when I start painting again. Thanks for liking my post!
You followed my photo blog today and I’m honored that you would take the time to do that. You’re art is terrific and I wish I could make images with my camera as well as you paint.
Maurice, thank you so much for another “like” on my blog and for following, I really am flattered as I find your work absolutely fantastic! Especially your landscape paintings and your photographs are just so wonderful in their colouring and atmosphere. I very, very much enjoy your posts.
All the best from Germany

Maurice, I really adore your landscapes. I grew up in marshy Michigan, and the flat landscape of the off-seasons has a subtlety and texture that you evoke so beautifully.
What kind of surface are you working on? are these painted on smooth panels?
These paintings were done over a 14 year time period, so the surface varies. The ones on canvas are double primed with a thick gesso, applied with a large knife to get a rather smooth surface. The paintings on panel are also gesso primed, sometimes by roller, sometimes by brush. Thanks for looking and liking.
Very very nice! I still am amazed at the effect of light you have mastered. And I am not surprised at all you were a photographer, since your pieces have that quality. Sepia-ish!
Beautiful work. I love your landscapes, and enjoyed reading your article. It looks like a couple of the links to pages are broken. Thanks very much for posting, and checking out my blog!
Wow! Thank you so much for introducing me to your work by visiting me at xballerina! What a perfect representation of the life and movement of light in the landscape, by NOT capturing it literally. Really an inspiration. I wish I could use something like this as a back drop/inspiration for a ballet. Are these oil on canvas or? Cheers!
Maurice, thanks for taking the time to view and like my blog today. Really enjoyed coming and viewing your landscapes. I love the ethereal feel to your work. Cheers Sue
Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking my post, Maurice. So glad to have come across your work because I absolutely love it – your landscapes are right up my alley. Great stuff – take care.
My favourite is ‘Red Clouds Reflected’. Its the way you use colour and light to capture unexpected and fleeting moments that convey gentle aspects of the forces of nature.
Great pics/paintings! Love the colors.
And thx for the likes 🙂
