. . . wanted to see doodles with character that you might be able to tell a story about. I thought that was a fun idea, and decided to post some of my doodles here as well. Some may have more character than others. Some are Wait Doodles, which are a bit different than my Wait Sketches. It is all in fun.
So I just had a Tree Dancer accepted in the 59th Colour and Form Society Annual Juried Exhibition. Excellent for me 🙂
I am taking part in the Don Valley Art Club Fall Show, and the Bayview Art Tour 2011 this fall.
Friday, September 2nd-5th, 2011 (Labor Day Weekend) I will be exhibiting my Tree Dancer drawings and a few paintings in the Distillery District annual art show.
I thought I’d blog this painting’s progress because I haven’t done a painting for a while (those Tree Dancers keep leaping onto the page) and thought I’d try a different process than one I’d been using recently.
Harrison Springs is a small town an hour and a half inland from Vancouver. I carried my sketchbook around and was able to get some drawings done that I felt good about.
My scam story. The scammer Charles Phey – email address academicss00@gmail.com – was consistent enough in his scam that Google could feed me his name
Light defines things which are beyond our hands reach. This definition has an immediacy it is difficult to appreciate without considering the various layers and levels which are interposed between us.
Here are a few trees that have gotten into my sketch book while I am waiting in a car.
I didn’t think to take a photo of this piece until it was pretty well set, so there isn’t a real early stage photo. But it is interesting to see a couple of intermediary steps before the finished look. I didn’t try to make the colour of the stages look like the finished piece. I think that is part of their attraction, actually.
Passing Glances – I knew how I wanted it to look and used an image that was very close to the final layout in order to give me a good proportional drawing.
