Gold In The Mountains #1
Sunday, November 4th, 2007
Gold In The Mountains #1, finished - 20 x 16 inches Acrylics on stretched canvas. Mounted on a box-frame, extending out 2 extra inches on canvas-covered background, with rustic barn-wood finished edges.
This is one of those paintings that never felt truly finished, until this week. Started late in 2005, it has evolved through many changes. The first thumbnail shows the painting at a stage where I thought it finished and entered it into Artjury.com’s Spring/Summer online exhibition, and it was accept ed. At the time I liked the larger areas of flat orange-gold. About six months later I judged that the work needed more depth, so began a long process of repainting, scrubbing off, build-up, scraping, etc. The painting reached a few different stages where it could have passed for finished, but I was not entirely pleased, so continued until I was. One never knows beginning any painting, how long it will take.. The image above shows the painting as it is today, now well and truly finished! Click on the thumbnails below to enlarge and view a few stages in the life of Gold In The Mountains#1.

2.The masking medium was rubbed off, revealing marks that were hardly noticeable when placing them there (applied with a toothpick). The abstract scribbles are interesting; the fresh pure life in both marks and color will stay.
3. I’ve set a time limit for this one for the end of today, something I don’t normally do, but the restrictions should ensure that it doesn’t get overworked.
4. Finished. All the drawing done recently with details, perfection and tones in mind is almost the opposite of this painting in every way. Feeling successful in that I was able to stay away from the desire to perfect everything, because the original intention was to loosen up, grab some life, and create an impressionistic pure color painting.

True Colors #63 - The original photo of one of the digitally manipulated images in the True Colors website series. This photo: A cow wanders the streets of San Antonio, Mexico.

Sun Shower #3
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007
When I water the flowers in the front yard usually the Oak tree gets a shower too. There were a number of impressive photos from this session, but the clump of leaves in shadow contrasting with the bright sunbeams in spray brings this photo a little above the rest…
