July 10, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Flowering at Dawn” : circa 2020
One of my earliest and favorite of my 6×6 inch gallery wrap blocks of watercolor on Golden’s Absorbent Ground! Flowering at Dawn is still a mystery to me….

October 21, 2021 – Delivering New Art to the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – 3 Piece Floral Set and 1 Autumn 6×6, all #Watercolors
Despite my many gripes about living in Austin, Texas, there’s of course a handful of things I do like. Among them is the opportunity the city makes for artisans 50 or older living in the Austin area to show their creative work. I’ve been fortunate to have some sales, and am very grateful to be…

October 01, 2021 – Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper – 4th Rendition; Lessons on the Evolution of This Painting Study
Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1 turned out to belie itself in one important regard – it shoulda been a larger canvas work. Where it did shine, for me, creatively, is the dazzling combination of styles I managed to squeeze out of me and onto paper to try and get the expression I wanted for…

September 29, 2021 – Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper – 3rd Rendition; Wanna Finish, But Can’t, Not Yet….
My 3rd rendition of Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1 has veered away from me like a giddy 2 year old confident mommy or daddy is nearby and can go explore the world with a glee and squeal – then tripped on a pebble the size of a finger tip, crashed to the ground, and…

September 28, 2021 – Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper – Removed Masking Fluid, Debating if Finished
Though my 2nd rendition – masking fluid removed from the sunflower and it’s surrounding abstract color space – is much more to my liking, it’s also obvious to me – as per the comparison images below, that I could have done more. Should have applied much more masking fluid…I’d gotten too timid I think, after…

September 27, 2021 – Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper; 1st Paint Lay-in Over Masking Fluid
A 9×12 on 140lb x watercolor paper, like my previous (and 1st study subject) – Walking in Dappled Light Study 1 (1st rendition), Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1 also seems quite lacking in dapple-ness, lol! (see comparison images below)

Finding A Composition Among Clutter (Tips for Paintings and Drawings) via Dianne Mize Studio June 2020
“Anything that initially catches our attention is a good place to start. I pointed out how the light rays are striking those upper center flowers and the shadows of the two on the outside. So let’s start there.“ – Dianne Mize

Painting Update – My Lost Edges and Masking Fluid Ideas 02.18.20
This weekend, I reblogged two really interesting articles on the aesthetic or idea of employing lost edges, where the boundaries of given recognizable objects meld into the color space around it (side plane, background, etc). I’d already haphazardly begun working with the idea, wondering if I was off-base to even be considering it, when I…
