Sunday, June 10th, 2007
Here is the painting after a few more hours of work, still unfinished. Trying something new, dripping the paint for some of the branches adds a little zest.

59 H x 41 W x 2 D, Acrylics - Phase 1
Studying shades of dark and light are the basics of any Artwork done with color, and it’s good to practice “real” drawing every so often, paying attention to lines, shapes, spaces…but enough of pencil drawings for a while. I’m craving color and space once more- ready to paint again, but starting this so close to the date we leave for holidays this coming Friday. My hope is to call it finished while it’s still at the open and lively stage, before over-working it. Here is the painting after about two hours.

True Colors photo- exhibition acceptance
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007
One of the photographs from the series True Colors is accepted into the exhibition Visual Rhythms / Ritmos Visuales, [an all-media juried exhibition that embraces the flavors and rhythms of Latin American influenced art and cultures] at the Target Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia, scheduled July 28 - September 3, 2007.
The storefront photo was taken in Guadalajara, Mexico. Beyond the clutter of typical-style pottery and items for sale, a child in a high-chair peeks out from behind a shelving unit The chair in front of the child indicates that someone, probably Mom - no doubt also the store-owner- was there a few moments before, feeding him or her. Two dogs and some pigeons scan the floor for leftovers. The room has a courtyard open to the sky, typical of the area, and there are more pigeons up on the window ledge on the back wall. Available, white mat, black frame 23 x 27 inches.
Please visit the trucolors.info website for more photographs taken in Mexico - my creative tribute.
All photographs printed on 11 x 17 100 lb. Satin finish cardstock high quality photographs are one of a kind, signed, most with white mat and a 3″ wide black frame.

Thanks to all of you for your responses to the recent group of pencil portraits. There are things children do that we can’t help but love them for, either because you’ve had children or you were one. Except cats, most of them prefer adults.
The portraits are also practise using tones and values, something that needs more attention as a foundation to color when I return to it.
