		<description>Thank you so much, Jake, once again. What you wrote kind of reminds me of my life when I was finishing up my grad school degree in English. I was way more interested in reading Art in America than some English journal.

It took me a long time before I could paint clean lines. But eventually it happened. I think the key is not loading up your brush with paint on your first try. Just make a very slight, slender line at first, then paint it all in with a thicker brush. Eventually, it will just come to you.

As far as process goes, thanks for the vote of confidence. I was beginning to think that my posts about process are a little bit too self-centered, solipcistic, and &quot;all about me,&quot; but really I&#039;m just trying to explain things with the hope that other artists out there will pick up on what I&#039;m talking about, and maybe they&#039;ll encounter something that might actually be useful to them. Artists might work in isolation, but when you learn from others&#039; examples, you realize that you&#039;re really not alone after all. I&#039;ll keep on writing about my process. 

Thank you, Jake, for your kind words, and thank you for understanding.

		<description>I am also a self-taught painter. I&#039;m an architecture student and there isn&#039;t enough time to take painting classes outside my Arch classes. It&#039;s a shame so I practice on my own. I am currently trying to make a modern painting, but am completely unsatisfied with my paint lines. It seems that I cannot construct a clean line without corrupting the edge. Well like you said it takes a steady hand. I guess I must work on this.

You said you love compliments, and I can&#039;t look at your work without saying something. So here begins my ramble... Your style is very unique, almost a pioneer in the new realm of minimalism and pop art. I love it. Rhythmic lines and simple shapes are complexly arranged in a captivating composition. I personally find your work interesting and intriguing. Also on a side-note I love reading about your process and seeing your different ideas/compositions. Keep showing your process on the site. It&#039;s a great record of where you came from to reach where you ended...

End of ramble.</description>

		<description>Thank you very much, Jake. The bold colors are a response to all of the blandness in the world. The clean lines and edges are the result of 0-width paint brushes and a steady hand. Yet, because I changed my mind so much on the colors in this painting, there&#039;s a lot of paint buildup, so it&#039;s not quite as smooth as it seems. Trust me, there are much smoother paintings out there ... being self-taught, I&#039;m not the smoothest painter. But thanks anyway!</description>

		<description>Wonderful Painting!!!

I love this painting, especially it&#039;s dimension. I was wondering how you create such bold colors, while still maintain such clean line and edges. Also, the painting&#039;s surface seems SO smooth. How do you do it? Your craft is impeccable!</description>

		<description>@Jem: Thanks so much for taking time to review my post &amp; saying what you said.

@Oliver: Thanks ... the yellow is that one with a bit of gray in it. And the navy is a lighter-looking cousing of the navy you call &quot;Space.&quot; Navy with black in it is very interesting.</description>

		<description>Great stuff Grant! 
I noticed an amazing color combination in version 2...The middle section of the &quot;pulled&quot; stripes; yellow, orange, blue, pink. What an amazing color combination, I think you should play around with those in a future piece, they seem very fresh... if you dont, I will. :P</description>
