Reminiscence

12 x 9 “ Acrylic on canvas

The beauty of an illustration? You get a picture that tells a story. Sometimes the story is already there, but sometimes, you make one up. When you do, no two stories - just as no two people - are alike, and that's the charm. What is the story here? To me, this is a story of a long night of reminiscence, a story written into a journal, happy memories, but to someone else it might be quite different. It also reminds me of a line from a Shakespeare play ("Night’s candles are burnt out, and jocund day stands on the misty mountain-tops”) but you will have your own thoughts. There in lies the beauty of an illustration.

This painting is painted on all sides of the canvas. It could be framed, but it could also be hung up, just as it is.

Morning Light

This month, the Virtual Paintout has traveled to Tunisia. Using the Google Street View, artists paint or draw the local landscape as if we were all there. I traveled around until I found some early morning sunlight peeking up over the buildings (to see it yourself, click here). When a scene could become a painting, you can just see it in your head. I saw one in this view of the morning sunlight!

This piece is painted on all sides of the canvas. It can be framed, but you could hang it up just as it is.

Southwest Sunrise

9” x 12” oil 

The Daily Paintworks   $75

The Virtual Paintout is an art challenge, where one uses Google Street View in a pre-chosen destination to depict people and places there. And it is a challenge - to find one scene out of so many that interest you - using the unwieldy new google street view - but fun none the less. This month we are in Sante Fe, New Mexico. I chose this scene because I like how the early morning sun raked across the land, casting shadows onto that house with those blue window frames. I could imagine myself standing out there painting it.

This piece is painted on all side of the canvas,  it can be framed or hung up just as it is.
