Car Grille Scratch - Sunday Update

 

Isn't it interesting how on a cloudy day a couple of hours working on a picture can set your mood.  I am beginning to like this better and feel more kindly toward it now that I am moving away from just messing with the grille.  I may have to update the name and call it as the photogapher, Paul Jones, did "Lights".  Originally seeing the image I first noticed the grill, but now working on the image I am enjoying tryuing to get the feel of the lights - got one more to go.  I have to tell you it is a rush to see the image coming out of this black board - always fun to see an image appear on paper too, but .... nothing quite like it - at least for me.  Maybe that is what is so addictive about scratchboard.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you had a great weekend.

Hi,dear Nelvia. While Google thinks ... Danilo and Rita are working to study a new possibility for restore photos in the posts with a method not too hard.

I greatly admire your work as realist artist, even using different methods .
Unfortunately, not having the practice of these mediums, I can only admire and I can not help in any way ... when you will work with watercolor maybe I can be a bit helpful!
Have nice week ... summer is here at least. My bones love this warming time ,so much!

Well after this I know you will get something positive, but how scary it has been, and why your site? I might have to do something in watercolor again and I always have lots off questions.
Glad it has gotten nice there, hot and humid here.

Magnolia Blossoms Acrylic 11"x14" “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.”   - Bob Ross I thought this was a wonderful quote.  I don't know if it has happened to you, but people say, oh you are so talented.  Not true, couldn't be farther from the truth, although I am sure there are many artists who do possess that something extra, something special.  But for the most part for the rest of us, it is just a matter of studying,  learning your  tools and materials, practicing, and then start to trust your inner self.  I am on a journey to try to find my voice.  Not that I am a late bloomer, but I should have already found it, yes?  I guess what I am really looking for is the way I wish and want to paint.   Not necessarily how I have been doing it. I am pleased with this piece.  Many thanks to Sanne who put this wonderful reference piece up at PMP.  Personally I think Magno...

DAY 19 Noise

Image
Noise I have noticed, now that we live out of the hard core suburbia, how much we get quiet.  I mean actual quiet, no kids, no dogs, not cars, not motorcycles, no sirens, etc. etc.  How many waves, noise carrying waves, go through our bodies every day.   Phone, radio, tv, fiber optics, microwave, etc. etc.   Can that really be good for us? Anyway, I never know what I am going to get and this was a pretty quick one since I had a big time work day, for me.   But I got some really clean windows - am really ready for Fall, wish the temperature could understand how ready I really am for Fall!!. Thanks much for stopping by.

Nicolae's GF Laughing Giraffe mixed media portrait

Nicolae's Giraffe Over the years we have decided the places we like to visit and have gone back multiple times.   In this day and age I think it is uncommon that in a hotel environment the workers would have been there 10-35 years.  So friendships develop.   Each of the people we have encountered have made our stays extra special in a variety of ways.   One of the ladies that works the check in desk had a baby last year.   Since we were unable to go in November we just saw her when we were in DC.   He is now 14 months, and in love with giraffes.  She has a yellow and gray nursery decor and I wanted to do a giraffe.   Wasn't sure if it should be the "kiddie" kind, but thought he might outgrow it.   So I decided to do one semi realistic so that he wouldn't outgrow it right away.  Aren't they just the strangest looking animal? I always wish I would keep my mouth shut, because it does worry me when I say I will paint something - it ...
