Painting as I see it.
I know lots of people work in acrylics, especially on a piece so large. I love the way the panels take the oil paint and the depth of colors. Many are colorists. I’m a coloroholic. I’m happy with these. I will hang them with a space between each one. Now I have to find a wall big enough to show them off. Any corporate types out there?
Gregg bought me two more panels yesterday!
Are there measurable degrees of abstract -edness? I believe these paintings are more about paint than flowers.
Those are principles from Joyce Carol Oates. As I added the map, I thought of the road that brought me here. Growing up in San Antonio, I NEVER would have imagined this life. Good thing, it’s better! This is the upper right portion.
I am enjoying people visiting my studio. There was a tour that came by today, some leadership group. After they left I was energized and started this little painting. It’s 8’x10″ and ‘tho you can’t tell yet, it’s Queen Anne’s Lace.
Gregg is fixing the windows in my studio. They are very old and he’s having to reattach sash weights to get them to open. It shows that the windows can be fixed, it just takes work.
The windows are to the right, so the left panel seems dark. I got the clock in today. A map is coming soon. Things that flowers don’t need.
Still working on the same two pieces.
Decorating took a backseat today. I’m working on dripping paint, sorta like Pollock. This is part of the stonewall of Fines Creek gym. Also back to one of the panels.
Gregg is installing burlap over the fiberboard above the “blackboards”. I want nice display spaces. We are prepping for an open house Oct. 10 & 11. Then you can some and see the finished studio!
Ford Motor Co. is on my badside right now.
Donna and Gregg helped me with my studio. Notice overhead lights, just like city folk. Donna painted one blackboard red, but I balked at both and went for a grey/brown. We got big house plants for $1 a piece. I’m not running away to Tahiti, I brought Tahiti to Fines Creek. I’m starting a smaller painting based on this stone work, which is the outside of my studio.
