My Yesterday in Pictures Format
Iāve simply built my daily walking & painting up to the point where I need the time for these two vital parts of keeping me healthy and/or sane, lol!
My Day Ahead series posts will continue, but on a much more intermittent basis. Already it seems some of that seriesā usefulness is being incorporated into this new seriesā format, me yakking ābout what when on, on the yesterday part of my life anyway, lol! Itās a continuing experiment of course, so weāll see š

Afternoon Walk with Sheila

Wonderful blue sky today for my walk with Sheila ā¤ļø
If you look real close, mid-point, between the white bow tie of a cloud and the scratchy tree tops, is a resting crescent moon š š

Continuing Acrylic Painting Experiment

Monday I filled in the other bloomsā petals with white over the heavier beige mixed with marble dust. Still a long way from finished, but I feel I have a beginning. A long running beginning, lol! But a beginning never the less š
I think itāll be fun adding drops of water to a bit of acrylic for some glazes soon! Anyone have any suggestions? I never did glazes all the years I did acrylics in the 80s, all I did was glob paint with fun, lol! But glazes seem like they might be fun too š Dick Blick had a cyber Monday special for a glass jar and an eye dropper for just over 2 bucks so I ordered one. I can Iāll be able to choose to pour or drip š Or maybe the deal was really the shipping vs their usual discounted price. Either way, a good deal! Also read in several places best to use filtered water (if not using medium) otherwise impurities could (would?) mess with the binding quality of the paint!

I tried to photo a close-up of the top right flower but didnāt come out well as Iād liked. Still, you can better see the center texture and petal edges. One of the things I donāt like ābout the image is the way the canvas texture is magnified through the paint. It hasnāt seemed to look that way all this time in ārealā life, lol! Tomorrow Iāll try and take a good look while itās still sunny outside; this was shot w/indoor light only after sunād gone down. Ahhh, the challenges of art š
And speaking of photoāing my art, my recent Reblog, Photography for Painting, a newsletter tip via artist-teacher Dianne Mize, handling a different aspect of using photography along w/oneās painting work, is also up! ā¤ļø

Ship at Sea, oil in progress

Whole time Iāve worked on this piece, it was āun-namedā – Monday I decided it was Ship at Sea. No bird, bouy, or site of land. All expansiveness and the ship. Weāll see what other tune-ups this will need š
Thanks everyone!

[…] The day beforeās My Yesterday in Pictures had, I felt a too-late in the day, low light photo capture of my then current stage of acrylic painting development from my photo of Floating Blooms, so this morning I saw the light sat warmly, more calmly, on the canvas! […]
