1969, just out of the army and back to work. Used to just pound out the watercolors, slap a matt on them, cheap frame and plain glass … call it good. This old steam engine is from a set of 3 that Mary kept for our home. I didn't discover until too late that so much damage had been done. All of the leaching from cheap matts and tape have taken a toll on these paintings. I may try doing new versions and or having them professionally photographed and than digitally corrected and make a small series of digital prints. Moral of the story, take care of your paintings and preserve them properly.Double "D"http://www.blogger.com/profile/03650681131780105694noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865641210746596583.post-9896569578567519822013-12-17T19:41:00.003-05:002013-12-17T19:54:59.001-05:004/C process using ruby overlays.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Blank paper.</i></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello everyone, it's been awhile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many reasons and excuses for the lack</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of paintings and posts. Many changes in family health over</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the last two years plus difficult events that mess with the mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least my mind. Of course I have at least a 100 meaningless</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
excuses for not painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a huge mistake to stay away from painting and drawing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for such a long period of time. It all feels empty now. I ask</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
myself questions like, didn't creativity and passion come naturally</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before? Why does color seem to be a mystery now, why do I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
doubt my ability now, what happened to confidence?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully I'll be able to find them again and get back to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During the last couple of weeks I've been studying other painters,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
watching on line demo's, looking at my books and searching for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ideas. While doing this I realized something. Many of my paintings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tell no story and seem to be just pretty pictures that would make</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nice wall paper or place matts. Yeah, yeah, I know, stop with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the pity party. Pity or not, it's real and factual. Lorianne will love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this but part of my problem are reference photo's which I take by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the hundreds. I've been spending a lot of time looking through them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
recently hoping for some creative spark. It would appear that my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tendencies are drive by reference shots with no thought process</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just images. They all seem to be taken on gray overcast days</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that are flat as a pancake or sunny days all shot during mid day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that's smart, no shadows, no contrast no common sense.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plein air, now there's a subject. I've purchased five easels to use</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
during painting adventures. How many have seen the light of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
day ... 2. How many have seen the light in the past 3 years ... 0.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you loving this Lorianne? I'm sure you are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I've gotten this far and now I can't remember what my original</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
intent was but at least you all know where I've been and where I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
am. Down the road there may be a post that involves a brush and paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or pen and ink or finger paints and feet. Maybe I can get my grandkids to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
paint something for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until we meet again and thanks for listening to me drone on! </div>
