2010 Art Guild of Hope Calender

Or April anyway. One of my first acylics was selected to be in our calender. This is a 11X 14 linen canvas board, and I used Chroma Interactive Acylics. I named it Midday Shower, because April showers bring May flowers.

The House of The Singing Winds

Or my rendition of the home and studio. There wasn't much wind, but alot of rain. It is a cheap canvas panel, and it warped very badly. After 7 hours under the umbella, and then out in the pouring rain for near an hour to be judged and displayed, I am surprised that it didn't come unglued. Oh well it was kinda fun, my other art friends were up on the porch with everyone else. I planned to get away from the crowd this year, and not too many people can down to see what I was doing.

T.C. Steele Historic State Site

Therodore Clement Steele http://www.tcsteele.org/site.asp

T.C. Steele moved into this home in 1907 to paint the beautiful landscape of Brown County. His artist friends visited him here to paint and together they developed the area into the art colony that Nashville IN is still known as today.

Rainy Day Paint-Out

It's May and here I am all ready for my first paint out of the year. Unfortunately it has rained all night and will be raining off and on all day. I was glad I had brought my umbrella, but it didn't help to dry the acrylic paints. This was a hard day to paint with them, and that is my excuse.

Painting from my Heart

There was a light snow on the ground yesterday morning and the whole day was cold and gray. When I came home I decided it was a good time to work on a gray scale. After I mixed up all the grays I decided to paint a canvas paper with the pallete knive. I now have a painting done in one day that I am proud of. I see a composition in it, although you may have to squint, turn upside down, or use a mirror to see it.

My Second The Painting painting in one day

I have repainted this painting, I wasn't very happy with it's depth or the creek running through it. I decided to change the creek to a cow path, and I added some depth by scumbling over the field and observing the Vanishing Point in the rows of corn. When I accidently grabbed green off the pallette and added it to the sky, I decided it was time to take a break.

Since I really need to practice my imprimatura painting, as well a scumbling, you may just see a painting # 3 on this subject.
