March 21, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, ie, Art on 2 or More Panels, Part 5 – Signing the Backs of Each of 4 Panels
A reader recently commented they looked forward to seeing how I’d sign this new work, there being 4 panels 😊 This part of my signing, and the post about it, is the easier for me to do 1st because this is how I’ve signed the back of each of the 4 polyptych pieces. Signing the…

March 18, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, ie, Art on 2 or More Panels, Part 4 – Something New I Didn’t Expect Painting Across 4 Panels!
I think I’ve finished my new painting – “Mountains, Clouds and Waves” – except for the placement(s) of my signature(s) and I’ll do that in probably the next (and final) post (I think, lol!) in this mini series. What I do want to speak to just a bit – because it now seems so obvious…

March 16, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, ie, Art on 2 or More Panels, Part 3 – Getting Some Answers
Still a bit more to go, but I’m clarifying to myself 😊 the direction and feeling I want this new more-complex-abstract-than-usual work to go. I’ve definitely chosen to rebalance the 4 panels in favor of the left 2 panels’ lighter balance of swooshes of colors.

March 15, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, ie, Art on 2 or More Panels, Part 2
You might be able to tell some of the changes so far on this 4 panel piece painting from the previous day’s shot of the same work from a distance in my still-emerging new set up for my art room, lol!

March 14, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, ie, Art on 2 or More Panels, Part 1
I seem to be on an unintended rush to catch up with an equally unintended rash of new paintings I’ve been creating since late last year, and decided, under pressure of not being able to move in the smaller 2nd bedroom in our apartment I call my “art room” 😊

March 11, 2022 – New 12×24 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Turquoise Impressionist Abstract 1
I love this color between blue and green, and am so glad I finally produced a fairly colorful ( considering the general monotone ) rendition with “lots” of density and textural variation.

March 10, 2022 – The Drought is Broken : 12×18 Lou Neff Austin Signed Print Sold at The Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas
Sometimes, like when recovering from an illness, and one feels a lifting of a debilitating fever, with a coolness that refreshes and not overwhelms, the sale of one print, after months of nothing, provides a lift to one’s spirits and steps as good as selling a painting when all seems it’ll always be thus 🙏…

March 09, 2022 – Art Review / Reblog : 2 Women Artists I Know ( virtually ) Having Live Shows Right Now, in England ( Margaret Hall ) and California ( Tiffany Arp Daleo )
Sure, it’da been nicer posting this on March 08, 2022, on International Women’s Day – but, if I can’t atone just because I’m late, well…my momma didn’t teach me that’d be a good enough excuse not to celebrate a little late anyway ❤️ 😊 Margaret Hall and Tiffany Arp Daleo are long time innovators and…

March 06, 2022 – Art Fun! Yesterday @ Austin’s Art for the People Gallery!
Though no immediate sales, I came away from yesterday’s 2 hour Art Fun event at Art for the People Gallery here in Austin convinced I’m not only on the right track personally for myself as an artist, but for attracting the type attention that might very well lead to sales. For my 1st foray into…

February 27, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Blue with Gold Twilight – New 10×20 #Panoramic #Abstract #AcrylicPainting
I rushed getting Blue with Gold Twilight uploaded to Fine Art America because I’d also submitted it to Creative Art Society here in Austin for their online market. Considering I’d just painted it, I guess it was all a rush, lol! But I hadn’t painted it with the above online market in mind, it just…

February 26, 2022 – Adan’s #ArtPoems / #PhotoPoems : The Wings of Life Form From the Sky
Pink with Maroon Landscape and Bird is a rare painted-in-one-go art work. There was nothing I felt I could add, including fill in the upper 2/3s right. I saw the mountain-like peak in the middle top right away, then the bird’s head to its right. Then gradually, I began to see the….

February 25, 2022 – New 10×20 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Pink with Maroon Landscape and Bird
Second of two 10×20 inch acrylic color fields I’m listing on Creative Arts Society’s Spring Online Market ( begins March 01, 2022 ), Pink with Maroon Landscape joins my 1st selection, Blue with Gold Twilight. Both should be easier to ship if sold, and sold to a buyer outside the Austin area. Neither is offered…

February 23, 2022 – New 24×36 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #LyricalAbstract Upload @FineArtAmerica – Scenic Pink with Yellow
I look at this image, of a new 2×3 foot size color field, knowing how large it looks and feels, even at this relatively medium size, and realize maybe I need some size perspective shots, like with me holding or beside the painting.

February 20, 2022 – Reblog, “Spring Jubilee” via Tiffany Arp-Daleo
My regular readers know I’ve been gladly reblogging this young lady for a bit now.

February 15, 2022 – New 18×24 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Pink Vortex
I’ve expected to do variations of colors I liked and find them interesting how similar and yet also how different, when the paint is dry and the textures are set, they might end up to be.

February 14, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Easy Stroll – New 16×20 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
Happy Valentines Day everyone! And, it’s also my wife’s birthday!! ♥️ So it’s kinda extra nice to post that Easy Stroll repeats as I most viewed on Fine Art America during the 1st week of February. The painting itself reminds me of both stories she’s told me of her year long stay in the jungles…

February 12, 2022 – New In-Progress 24×36, Hopefully an Acrylic-Watercolor Mesh, Image ala Frederick Childe Hassam’s On the Balcony, My Painting – Dreaming With the Moon and Stars, Part 2, Struggling with the Figure
My previous post, about several series of paintings I’m seeing if I can pull off ( though one series, Impressionist Abstract panoramas, is well under way ) — I mentioned a work similar to some potential figure series I’d like to explore creating, and that is this work — Dreaming with the Stars and Moon.…

February 11, 2022 – Literally Alliterating My Painting Creativity via Developing Several Series Simultaneously
Couldn’t resist the little word play in the title, lol! But it struck me recently how, without really trying, I’d begun developing several series of painting ideas at once! My color fields above, my Impressionist Abstract series featuring a dominant color, in my 12×24 gallery wrapped canvas format, is my largest series to-date, with approx…

February 02, 2022 – New In-Progress 24×36, Hopefully an Acrylic-Watercolor Mesh, Image ala Frederick Childe Hassam’s On the Balcony, My Painting – Dreaming With the Moon and Stars, Part 1
Related to my previous post’s also-in-progress painting, Walking with the Stars, Dreaming with the Moon and Stars has many similarities and, if all goes to my plan-with-room for spontaneous, also significant differences. Both feature using Golden’s Fiber Paste for the base for the night sky base over an acrylic-watercolor wash of yellow. Both feature….

February 01, 2022 – The 8 Year Old Helps with Continuing In-Progress Painting, Walking With the Stars
Back in early January, when I 1st mentioned working on Walking With the Stars, I also mentioned our 8 year old grandson had been ( and is ) a big help in getting this 24×36 complex-textured work along. Now I’m finally remedying that, lol!

January 27, 2022 – New 16×20 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Easy Stroll

January 23, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Blue Impressionist Abstract 1 – New 12×24 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
It’s kinda neat how these impressionist abstract panoramas I’ve been working on conjure up so many varying images, or at least semi-suggested images, lol! I see waves and sky and beach, the horizon line shifting from lower 1/3 to upper 1/3 depending how I squint 😊 Working bottom to top, I can even see….

January 22, 2022 – Rethinking (re-engineering?) How I Post About Images I Upload to #FineArtAmerica
My most emerging challenge as I ramp up being able to and wanting to paint more often – each day if possible – is time. Not a big surprise for all the folks with lots of interests and/or commitments, even for us 70+ year olds, lol! Though, surprisingly, just as difficult to navigate the demands…
