Ended up four years later, favoring landscapes in acrylics and portraits in oils. I like the way the two genres work together--one demanding, the other free.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-39927951396315079192013-10-21T17:29:30.773-04:002013-10-21T17:29:30.773-04:00Absolutely love these works in all the different m...Absolutely love these works in all the different media!

I think I would, if I was willing to sit. So far, I'm not. Miniature sizes don't work well for me standing in front of an easel built for bigger formats. I would even have to hold the brush differently. I have to move when I paint.

The painting that went over it, Fall from the Four Seasons unit painting, is more satisfying; it had more movement. As seen here, the unit painting looks took primary colors. in reality there's more going on.<br /><br />So far, I haven't started a painting from that reference. I'm still out there hunting for Fall. The weather has been too lovely to be shut in painting--after having been shut in with my recuperating knee longer than I anticipated.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-4681156399303060002013-10-15T20:25:24.916-04:002013-10-15T20:25:24.916-04:00Wow, what a rich collection of visual autumn histo...Wow, what a rich collection of visual autumn history!

I want more from this subject. I'm not sure what. So I went out with the camera again. Pretty is not how I feel about the woods. To me, the wooded landscape is a metaphor for life's journey--mix of clear passages and thick barriers and obstacles, an obstacle course. Sometimes, the course is clear, sometimes obscured by finery that hides the reality. I need to develop my perception. --almost called you this morning, but your cupboard was dark.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-26408141087917348422013-10-15T09:01:08.498-04:002013-10-15T09:01:08.498-04:00Love the photo, can see lots of possibility withi...Love the photo, can see lots of possibility within it.<br /><br />Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-40563650901430123622013-10-15T08:39:02.522-04:002013-10-15T08:39:02.522-04:00Glorious photo, which will be a glorious painting....Glorious photo, which will be a glorious painting.

I got to the supply store to pick up my favorite size and they were out. So I bought another size which I didn't think suited my the photo here. Now is the time to be out and about hunting reference photos, enjoying the Autumn Sun and strolling without the pain in the knee that held me back these last years. What a pleasure not to be walking on bone! Painting can wait for the snows. For now, I want to enjoy whatever good weather we have. What's nice about landscapes is how meticulous drawing, brushstrokes, color faux ps are nothing to worry about.

I like all the seasons. Each has it's own endearing and annoying characteristics. I do get bored when the weather around me, the atmosphere, is always the same. I adore muckluks as much as flip-flops, the looks of cool weather, the looks of hot weather. Diversity isn't boring. It keeps you on your toes.
