October 24, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Danseur en Bleu” : circa 2022
Quite an unexpected treat to see my newest painting, Danseur en Bleu, it’s 1st week on Fine Art America, be my most viewed of my images for the past week!

June 02, 2022 – “Morning’s Promise” : Completed, After 2 Days of Finishing Touches
A different kind of textural experiment for me, as most the painting’s pigments were laid in with generous amounts of either transparent white acrylic, heavy matte gel acrylic or both. With sprinkles of marble dust here and there 😊

May 17, 2022 – I Have a Lot of Happenings ( art & personal ) This Week, But Still Finding Moments To Start a New Painting : Morning’s Promise
It’s nice to dance the surface of my canvas as needed. And able ☺️ And right now, a light step, at an easy pace, may give me the time – and energy – to get more than a handful of other needed things also done this week. Not a bad compromise. For now 😊

April 12, 2022 – New 16×20 Inch #Acrylic #FigureArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Neon Lady
16×20, acrylic on stretched canvas, here shown framed, Neon Lady, a work started late last year ( 2021 ) took me awhile to refine the edges of the figure, then develop / decide the colors expanding outward toward the edges.

March 05, 2022 – At Art for the People Gallery Today 2-4pm! !
Blasting through many chores, I’ll simply post my 4 paintings below I’ll have available to show and talk about and offer for sale at Art for the People gallery here in Austin today. This post will be listed on both Instagram & Facebook. I should also mention Twitter & Pinterest, but I do that so…

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!

December 29, 2021 – I’m (slowly) Creating a Product Page for Folks to See and Buy My Paintings – 1st Concrete Step : Create Target Galleries on #FineArtAmerica
My singular goal is not to simply channel all my online and other painting sales through Fine Art America, though their direct messaging system from buyer to me, and back again, is very good. Rather it’s to ease into making my art listings into product categories, ie, acrylics, small works, etc, like I wrote about…

December 28, 2021 – Found One of My 2005 (or so) Gesso / Oil In-lays on Canvas With a Landscape Relief Texture That Pre-figures My Light Molding Paste Painting Experiments I’m Doing Now!
So there, in the 3 images above, between my featured image of my gesso-textured oil layin from 2005, my current watercolor / acrylic from 2021, and my 1986 acrylic, is a pattern of mine of searching for how best, or at all, to not only work in texture into my painting, but to actually have…

December 23, 2021 – I’m (slowly) Creating a Product Page for Folks to See and Buy My Paintings Here On My Site!
Why I’m doing this, creating a permanent page or post on my site with listings of my art for sale, when I have sorta the same thing on Fine Art America, is an answer with many components, all of which dovetail into one main thing — time ♥️ Here’s a list of the reasons. Some…

November 29, 2021 – Fine Art America News : “Easy Morning” and “Walking in Light” Featured in Art Groups + Sold a “If Dads Were” Coffee Cup
Both figures in the painting above and below are watercolors, though, Easy Morning is all watercolor on absorbent ground. Walking in Light’s paint, around the figure below, is acrylic; both the watercolor figure and remainder of my painting done on Golden’s Light Molding Paste. Golden has evidently been at improving acrylics a long time, as…

November 12, 2021 – New #Acrylic #Watercolor Upload @FineArtAmerica – Walking in Light
Back near mid-October I posted about beginning a couple of new projects and featured my initial layin image below-left. The simple shift to the final image is a bit deceiving, as both the foreground and background had more of the intense coloring, some of which came off when I removed the masking fluid I’d applied.…

October 18, 2021 – A Good Problem, Lots of Interesting Pics and Posts Developing in My Blog Pipeline! Part 3, 1st Completed Work of 5 – “Playtime, Mother and Child”
I’m also breaking a bit of tradition in terms of my routine and going ahead and posting my completed image, not as good a resolution etc as I’d like (yet), and also not yet uploaded to Fine Art America. It’s simply a time choice. Paint and create. Or paint less but massage the photo capture…

October 13, 2021 – A Good Problem, Lots of Interesting Pics and Posts Developing in My Blog Pipeline! Part 2
Recently I posted 3 other canvas paintings I’ve been working on, and here I’m showing the 2 I’d mentioned in that post but didn’t have photo captures of yet. Both are 18×24 on canvas, with light molding paste from Golden, but, at this stage applied slightly differently.
-
October 11, 2021 – A Good Problem, Lots of Interesting Pics and Posts Developing in My Blog Pipeline! Part 1
And the 3 images above do not include 2 more 18×24 semi-abstract semi-figure works, lol! Which is great for my painting and fitness interests, but leaving me a tiny bit in the lurch blogging-time wise – but – with a wealth of new material, well, materializing 😊 It’s my intent to have a blog post…

September 25, 2021 – Walking in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper, Completed
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 23, 2021 – Walking in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper, Masking Fluid Removed
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…
-
September 22, 2021 – Walking in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper; 1st Paint Lay-in with Masking Fluid
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…

September 20, 2021 – Dappled Light, “Figures in a Landscape Study” Still Not Done, But, Already a Learning Tool For Me!
“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…
-
September 19, 2021 – Dappled Light, “Figures in a Landscape Study” Continued
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 Caldron
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…

September 17, 2021 – New Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, “Fantasy Walk” : Watercolor on Canvas on Light Molding Paste, #ContemporaryImpressionism

September 11, 2021 – “Fantasy Walk” : Figure Art on Light Molding Paste on Canvas, Calling it Done, Sorta….
Developing this painting has been more lesson on do’s and don’t’s I think than of completing a finished work, though I also think I’m gonna have to call this one done and move on. Looking at the image sequence from top to bottom, working from finish back to my start, I can see several “things”…

September 09, 2021 – Continuing Work on Figure Art on Light Molding Paste on Canvas, (tentative title) “Fantasy Walk”
As seen in my image below from my overview of starting this new painting (Fantasy Walk), I’ve begun painting in the figure – yeah, I don’t plan leaving her standing on one leg, lol! 😊

September 08, 2021 – Developing 2 New Figure Paintings on Light Molding Paste on Canvas – 1 Watercolor, 1 Acrylic with Watercolor
I don’t have a favorite yet between the two above paintings-in-progress, though I love certain things about each one ❤️ First, in the vertical upper top painting above, the acrylic greens over the varying red shades of watercolor shimmer and stain and reveal the uneven watercolor coat in surprising ways; possibly also because of the…

August 18, 2021 – Another New (but related) Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, “Testing the Water” : #Acrylic on Light Molding Paste on Canvas #ContemporaryImpressionism
For nearly two months now, my more recent softer original watercolors and now an acrylic along the same style have been my most seen images of mine on my site at Fine Art America! Plus figure art work has dominated all but one of those 7 weeks 😊

August 10, 2021 – My Newest Art Upload @FineArtAmerica – Testing the Water (Acrylic on Canvas)
Several things went into making this one of my favored positive-surprise results: 1. Golden’s Light Molding Paste, which itself allowed several things a. creation of a descriptive molding directing movement and form b. an absorption surface that allowed my use of watered down acrylics which gave me my currently-favored look – watercolors c. and least…

August 08, 2021 – Working a New 16×20 Acrylic, “Testing the Water” : Basically Complete
I’m pretty sure this will be the finished painting, but gonna let it sit just a bit, then if so, if the photo’d image shot of Testing the Water shows well when the edges are straightened out etc in Affinity Photo and I can upload it to Fine Art America, then I can fairly safely…

August 05, 2021 – Working a New 16×20 Acrylic, Working Title : Testing the Water, Enhancing the Landscape
This doesn’t portray the current stage of my new painting as well as it should. I probably took the pic too late in the day; the texture is stronger than I see it and the colors more subdued, but I figured, time being what it is right now (concerns with my mom, having the 8…

August 03, 2021 – Working a New 16×20 Acrylic, Working Title : Testing the Water, Refining the Figure, Developing the Background
I wanted to do more on this but things are happening re Covid, in my life. I’ll have more on this very soon – nothing w/me or family here in Austin (despite horrid #s lately), but nearby, also here in Texas. Wonderful how fluid and flexible art is, giving us challenges one day, inspiration on…

August 02, 2021 – Prepping a New 16×20 Acrylic, Working Title : Testing the Water, 1st Figure Lay-in
I included my most recent updated image from a post a few days ago further below. Besides the figure work (not yet complete), you can see where I continued to rework the area around the figure, setting her off more completely.
