if you could have all weather conditions and lighting arrangements in the world, what would you rather have your subjects be lit under?
That's a tough one October. I know that there are those that specialize in outdoor style paintings. I love outdoor paintings, but I also love indoor paintings.

The success or failure of any painting will ride on whether the light adequately defines the form. This can be accomplished indoors or out. Although, It is more of a challenge out of doors.

When I first started checking in on this forum I read something that Karen Wells wrote and it has stuck with me. Paraphrasing -- "I don't worry so much anymore about how to paint, but what to paint." I condense her meaning to be -- judgment. And more often than not it is the judgment regarding the quality of light.
