Yesterday posting about my resuming progress on a new watercolor on canvas (with absorbent ground) via beginning a study process for adding a figure to the nearly finished work, I mentioned I’d spent my 1st time at the nearby greenbelt in nearly 2 weeks!

It was a pristine morning, warm, sunny, lightly breezy, and hardly crowded at all – in other words : wonderful! 😊

Above, via a new poster, now uploaded to Fine Art America for prints and gifts, is part of the terrain and views I came across —

And below, in two screenshots, are 2 full resolution previews Fine Art America offers for viewers, though here on my site I do constrict full resolution due to monetary considerations for use of image space etc. One day I may not need thinking about that, lol! But right now… ☺️

Still, what I can show here, right now, isn’t bad at all!

Part of why I decided to present two preview out-takes, is to help explain why I chose this image for my newest Barton Creek poster series image.

There’s a nice variety and range of textures and colors, from the sky to cliffs to vegetation to rocks plus water reflecting the colors around it.

There’s also literally a long detailed distancing visible. The rocks (and the reflections in the water) in the foreground are quite detailed, there’s a crest of those rocks in the mid-distance that disappears into a shadowed deep green of vegetation (shown in the preview below), and then of course the sky.

Some of those elements of interest are fairly obvious in the small image of the poster, some appear to be only hinted at, but in a full size poster they’ll all be more apparent, making, I think, a really nice poster 😊

Hopefully next post I’ll have gotten a few practice swipes at creating the figure from yesterday’s post (see tweet and link below) on paper with watercolor.

Meanwhile I did at least get to share w/ya’ll one of the many views the greenbelt offered me on my welcome visit back to it ♥️

Stay well everyone – cases are surging among the unvaccinated here in Texas, infecting us (even if mildly) who have been; so time for cautiousness, again….

• September 21, 2021 – Initial Review of “Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art” by James NestorSeptember 21, 2021
  I’d been doing a day to day posting of a continuing study-sketch project with figures in a watercolor landscape and ran into a time roadblock – grandchild, groceries, fitness (walking, yoga, Essentrics), picking up line art to practice-paint at my printer, etc 😊 and wasn’t able to wiggle any more time to work on that project and write about it, so… I took a deep breath and picked up a book (virtually, via my Kindle Reader, lol!) The editorial reviews often mentioned this read like a novel & my intro and beginning pages already confirm that.
• September 20, 2021 – Dappled Light, “Figures in a Landscape Study” Still Not Done, But, Already a Learning Tool For Me!September 20, 2021
  “Learning Tool for Me” is part of my blog title today simply ’cause I’ve looking at this post as specifically geared to get me where I wanna go – keeping in mind my destination is a generalized abstraction of image / feeling / and intuitive aspiration (hopefully including figurative work) & it’s reached a point of development over my previous renditions that I now need to put my resolve into concrete, hopefully creative, useful thoughts for my future directions. Lot of contradictions. Like life. Like me 😊 Here goes (for now) —
• September 19, 2021 – Dappled Light, “Figures in a Landscape Study” ContinuedSeptember 19, 2021
  Just a quick post updating yesterday’s release showing what I’ve changed/added on to a watercolor on paper I’d 1st posted about on Sept 7th…A bigger factor in today’s image update is the addition of more “white”.
• September 18, 2021 – Dapple Light, My Creative Conundrum and CaldronSeptember 18, 2021
  My regular readers know I’ve been more and more attracted to the idea of being able to paint dappled light, consciously, and hopefully, eventually more spontaneously. I titled my post to include both “conundrum” – which I kept misspelling til I looked it up 😊 – and “caldron” – which I keep feeling my creative heart and mind are swimming in (over their heads) lol!
• September 17, 2021 – New Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, “Fantasy Walk” : Watercolor on Canvas on Light Molding Paste, #ContemporaryImpressionismSeptember 17, 2021
  Some times, some days, the little things, like the big things, if they are good and hopeful, then they are helpful.
• September 16, 2021 – Reblog(s) : Graham McQuade, Benchmarks 1 & 2 (Acrylic Painting) #figureartSeptember 16, 2021
  This necessarily (on my part) a short post due to some time constraints, although I should add, Graham’s posts will be a quick read. They’re short, tight with information. What will take a little time, if you notice the time 😊 is….
• September 15, 2021 – Birds at Pfluger Bridge Austin @FineArtAmericaSeptember 15, 2021
  Birds at Pfluger Bridge Austin is an 11×14 oil painting I finished a little over 3 years ago, but never wrote up about individually on my blog. I realized this was the case when I tried to find my WordPress image from an older blog post to include in my most recent post; about birds of course 😊 Why I hadn’t done a post, announcing when I’d uploaded it to Fine Art America is simply that I….

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
