Though I’ve never known it to happen, meaning maybe it did one of those stretches of time where I wasn’t paying attention 😊 I’ve never had any image be my most viewed at Fine Art America 5 weeks in a row! So that’s a real treat!

I was also realizing this week, preparing this post and working on my 16×20 acrylic line art figure in a landscape work, Testing the Water, there is some discernible thread in my work the last year or so of including more and more figure elements in my paintings.

So maybe, hopefully, I can work up something on that. It’d be more involved and would include images from my work the past 12 months or so. It intrigues me just to find out what the heck I’ve been doing along those lines, lol! ☺️

Below, are my top 12 most viewed images this past week on Fine Art America, and 7 of them have an image or two in them, even if one – the middle acrylic on the 2nd row from the top – is from the 1980s!

And, one is a photography, one of 3 that also feature Paris, black and white, and is among my top 10 most viewed all time over the last 5 years or so.

Meanwhile, I’ll wish us all well, and pray this new contagion of Covid is soon curtailed! ♥️

• September 25, 2021 – Walking in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper, CompletedSeptember 25, 2021
  Not much difference between the previous post’s study version and the completed version above. As you can tell, from the 2nd duo sets of contrasts below, all I did was soften the upper slanting line separating red and white on the lady’s back. But for me, it….
• September 24, 2021 – New Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, Ridges of Spring Light, #watercolor, painted late 2019September 24, 2021
  I’ve recently been including Ridges of Spring Light in several of my blog posts about dappled light and masking fluid, not because it was meant to “be” dappled light, or that I used masking fluid creating it, though it does have three distinct areas of canvas (coated with absorbent ground to accept watercolors). No, Ridges of Spring Light contains a sense of dappleness, often created with masking fluid, and I used that image here to illustrate the idea that a variable sense of light sometimes just comes about, even in an abstract.
• September 23, 2021 – Walking in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper, Masking Fluid RemovedSeptember 23, 2021
  There’s a lot I like about how this looks with the masking fluid gone (removed prev night and slept on the shock of seeing the changes, lol!) – which doesn’t mean though I’m not looking at what to try to improve how I feel about this work 😊 Initially, 1st impression, I was determined to restore & “correct” some of the changes —
• September 22, 2021 – Walking in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper; 1st Paint Lay-in with Masking FluidSeptember 22, 2021
  At 9×12 on 140lb x watercolor paper, I was able to use my brushes fairly effectively where I wanted them, and applied some Turner masking fluid (with a thin palette knife) “fairly” easy. And yes, some foot proportions are off a bit, lol, and her back blouse almost looks like it’s the front, but all in not too bad toward my primary priority – quickly achieve some degree of dappling look. Once the masking fluid comes off though, it could be very different….
• 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”.

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
