Nov 30 – Finished the DVD Misty Light Painting!

I’ve missed you ALL, and am back! Life has settled down and I’m painting again, and I so appreciate your emails asking how things were going. Here is the finished painting for the DVD on Misty Light and Rainy Days (title still up in the air). I’ll be starting the seond painting this week, and will continue to fill your email with its progress. Then the editing and master disk to the duplication service, and this one will be finished–the FOURTH in the Color System DVDs.

I never even opened the warm box for this painting, and I believe that the time of day is effectively conveyed by just the subtle use of the lovely grays–green, red, orange, purple and the earth tones to accent. Misty morning light with NO distinct light source, nor strong shadows. I’m pleased wiht it, and can hardly wait to start the next one!

The workshop in November was a rousing success (I’ll post some of the demos and images from that one in the week ahead) and I’m scheduling another three day Color Boot Camp in February of next year. Lots of good art and learning comes from these sessions, so if you can make the time (three and a half days), you’ll definitely be a beneficiary of the “CS”. HA!

Now it is back to the easel to get the digital tapes and set up for the next painting. Yippee! I’m Baaaaaack!

Jul 4 – Virtual pARTy Challenge, and a Demo

In the workshop this morning, I had to demonstrate morning light, so I picked up on an image from Linda Shantz, who organized a virtual pARTy for artists to do an image from the same source.

This is a 16 x 20 acrylic done for a morning light painting in the Color System, and depicts a very pregnant mare in a pasture. I modified the source material quite a lot and am quite pleased with this painting. Redesigning source material and making it one’s own is the mark of a confident artist, with an arsenal of ability to make source material just the “jumping off point” for the art. I love doing this! And in front of the eleven participants, I finished this up for them in record time.

You can see the source material and some of the other entries here. Mine won’t be there for a while until my registration is cleared.

Congratulations to new collector Louise Sackett from Santee, California, on her purchase of yesterday’s painting of the California Coast in moonlight!
