Nope. Some are designs, created for museum displays, by exhibit designers. The Three Rivers History Museum hired a museum designer, an exhibit designer, whatever the title is, to create a Native American exhibit, and they (or is it the Tulare County Historical Society? Or the Mineral King Preservation Society? I should pay more attention!) to […]
Aaaand More Painting Progression
This is 8×8″, using a photo taken last spring somewhere on the BLM land above our house. Some people call it Case Mountain because it is below Case Mountain (mostly privately owned and gated closed). Some people call it Salt Creek because Salt Creek runs through. We call it BLM, because it is managed by […]
Orange Oil Paintings, WHAT SHALL WE CALL THEM?
Obviously, I could use a little help with titles here. “Oranges in a Blue Bowl” is too obvious; maybe I can think of a title that has to do with the fact that orange and blue are complementary colors. This means they are opposite one another on the color wheel—”complementary”, not “complimentary” such as “Oh […]
Four Finished Fruits
I know these aren’t just generic fruits, but the alliteration was too big of a temptation to resist. All these orange oil paintings are for sale at the Mural Gallery in Exeter, whose address might be 121 South E Street, and hours might begin at 11 a.m. but not on Tuesday, possibly not on Wednesday. […]
More Orange Paintings, A Progression
These have more detail and are larger than the 4 small orange paintings I showed you last Friday. That one is almost finished. It could be considered finished, but I don’t think it is as good as it could be. I’ll need to contemplate it for awhile. This one will require quite a bit of […]
Orange Oil Paintings, A Progression
There are a lot of orange paintings to get done, dried, scanned, and distributed to two different places. Let’s go! Four down, two to go. Altogether now, “These will look better after they are dry and always look better in person”.
Not Enough Oranges
There is a marketing outfit for citrus, at least I think it is for marketing purposes. They have bought many pieces of orange-themed art from me through the years and are a pleasure to deal with. Their annual banquet is coming up, and someone in the office asked me to lend them orange-themed art to […]
Four Starts, One Finished Oil Painting
All these paintings are small and will be for sale at the Holiday Bazaar, coming to Three Rivers on November 18 at the Three Rivers Remorial Building. (Yes I know it is “memorial”, but I learned to say it this way from my former neighbor, formerly a girl, currently a married woman.) This one only […]
Redwoods From Start to Finish in Six Photos
Untitled Sequoia trees, 6×12″, oil paint on wrapped canvas, still wet, $125 plus tax.
Spider Webs on the Easels No More
There are actual spider webs on my easels after a summer off. I didn’t take the summer off on purpose; there simply wasn’t any reason to add to inventory. Now there are reasons to paint: the Holiday Bazaar will be November 18, St. Anthony Retreat has requested small paintings to sell in their gift shop, […]
