August 28, 2021 – (Still) Experimenting Developing Figure Sketches, Tentative Title: Woman Walking Dogs 1
Wanted to place the new top image next to the two competing figure line art studies I’d included in a previous post, but the gallery shot compressed the side by side initial studies too much. This should still work though to show where I borrowed from both studies to make one I’m much happier with.…

August 24, 2021 – My Newest #Vermont Poster Upload @FineArtAmerica – Bingham Falls Smugglers Notch State Park
If my above Vermont poster has something distinctly in common with my concurrent Austin Barton Springs Greenbelt poster series, it’s the sheer sparkle of abundance nature! That Austin even has something smaller yet comparable within its city limits is a miracle, lol! There’s no denying the intensity-level shift when dealing with things Vermont

August 22, 2021 – Starting the Day with Dappled Light and Love
There was gonna be no pretense about the heat here in Austin today, not to mention the Covid resurge rivaling and in places surpassing the worth of the nearly two years of pandemic. But Sheila and Max and I set out before breakfast this morning, before the sun had shrank away the surprise morning clouds,…

August 17, 2021 – My Newest Poster Upload @FineArtAmerica – Morning Light in Barton Springs Greenbelt, Austin Texas Poster
It’s so strange yet so true of Austin’s Barton Creek Greenbelt (and Violet Crown Trail) that it is rich in nuance of nature & light. The morning I captured my image above is the same morning, simply by twisting back and to my left, the image of a young lady (Payton) leaping off a small…

August 16, 2021 – Commiserating With Myself After My Mom’s Passing
I’ve had a string of strange stranded-like days since my mom’s burial. Along with a variety of naps from 5 minutes to an hour, I’ve walked more slowly, studying the shadows and dappled light along the paths of the greenbelt nearby. I’ve woken feeling a clarity about….

August 01, 2021 – Some Interruptions in Life are Blessings
Just back from an incredible trip to the Galapagos west of Ecuador, wife & I got the opportunity to have the youngest grandchild over. This is from our mid-morning walk in warm dappled light ❤️ I only wish I’d realized the value of this with our own children more fully…

July 24, 2021 – My Newest Poster Upload @FineArtAmerica – Barton Springs Greenbelt Austin Rocks at the Flats Poster
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…

June 29, 2021 – My Newest Poster Upload @FineArtAmerica – Barton Springs Greenbelt Evening Light
I was so fortunate the other evening, having gone a bit earlier than usual, the day having cooled the tiniest bit, enough for me to chance it, and I caught this sight right off!…A little later I was offered a chance to catch a shot of a lady and her dog near this same spot.

June 28, 2021 – Sun and Clouds Sang Dappled Light to Me – Barton Springs Greenbelt, Austin Texas, Part 3
I’m starting a small mini-series of posts about dappled light as a way of helping me get my head around why I like it so much and how I might replicate it in pigment better…Turns out many of my more favored photos have some degree of dappled light to them. Not all of my favs…
