Painting as I see it.
The state legislature of North Carolina has shoved a lot of offensive legislation down our throats. Forget jobs and education! Most paintings of the NC landscape show the natural beauty. This painting is not. Named for the toxic NCHB2, I am disgusted.
Some paintings leap onto the canvas and are done. Not this one. You may not see the struggle, but I know it is there.
I do not usually work small, but the Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC) Small Small Works show is in Nov.& Dec. The painting that I showed in the Master Gardener show was 20″x16″. This one is 6″x6″. Change of scale, brushes, focus.
The beginning of a new work. Acrylic on canvas.
Drop by Art on Depot this weekend to see my new paintings of clouds. Or if not clouds, gobs of cool colors with dol
lops of white.
Aggressive little guys. The girls do
give as good as they get.
This hummingbird was not successful.
Not really. What is the goal? The flower industry is lucrative. I could use some money. Every movement has an effect. How do we prioritize? Short term vs. long term consequences.
I am showing a detail of a painting that I’m working on. It’s acrylic on gessoed paper. I am also using latex paint, the cute samples that Lowes is putting out each season. I’m liking this one, the way that the paint is lively.
