DAY 14 Abstract

Well now I understand why the titles of abstracts in the museums are so inane, like Red, well yeah, the canvas is red.  How do you name and really describe these things?   I  guess I am feeling the influence of the hurricane as I think this is Shoals and all that energy is going inland.  Oh, well, who knows, but thanks for taking a look today.

I had another really runny paint session and the teal on the left is part of the paper towel that is under my glass palette, it got drenched with the teal so I cut it up and added it on and then put the black over the top and wet is as I really like the  run effects that you get.

Many times the title comes from your feeling and not the actual thing ( not the best word). Love the depth and movement! Carries me along, has a good positive vibe!

I thought of you as I was doing it too. You got to try it, you can glue it on with mod podge or matte medium or if you have wet paint under it just lay it on, then spray it with water and let it bleed or you can put color on top, spray and let it bleed.

Oh Carol I like that idea very much. So much to learn.

There is a fellow here that just numbers his work - let the purchaser name it! I like the movement and the colours here.

That seems like it could be an option as well. It might come down to that because some of these I couldn't come up with anything.

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 ...
