Artist at Work.....

2 paintings from the end of April

 

This is always such a bittersweet time. Spring is very special and the early stage especially seems to hold so much promise. The cool days that reveal the first bits of growth are to be savoured....full heat arrives quickly enough.

At a Distance

At a Distance
......in the forest, looking toward the distant meadow. Sometimes looking 'far' brings to mind 'long ago', in a bittersweet way. Acrylic collage painting on heavy archival paper 11 x 15 inches, image size 9.75 x 10.25 inches.

Opening, April 1, Videos of the Painting Process

 

I couldn't resist videoing this one as well. There's a part where I lose my way in the sky a bit, and that is common. Nothing ever goes as planned....it's really important to remember that. But keep going...something else that is suitable will always come along. There are 4 videos posted here, comprising about an hour of painting time. Johnny Cash and the Blind Boys of Alabama will keep you company.

Coyote Hill, March End

I've documented the making of this picture in video. I'll post the finished painting at the very end. There are a number of video sections, and I'll post them all here. They may be of interest to a few people who are curious about process. In this case I'm working from a photo on my computer screen. If I was working from one of my diagrams, it would be taped right above the painting as well. Although it takes a while, the process is really very decisive. There is no stopping and thinking....it is always go, go, go. The thinking is done in advance, and while the brush is moving.

There are about 4 or 5 videos....I'll post them all in sequence. This if the first one....
