good afternoon all
was 4.2 yesterday and 4.3 today
cold and wet here, a big shock to the system after the last few days even though the weather forecast predicted it.
Katy has gone back to mum today, the vet ok'd discontinuing the medication and the medical vest and mum has, of course, been missing her, so mr gee and I are a bit adrift at the moment we had got so used to her trotting about behind us all the time
I did no painting yesterday evening, we took Katy for a nice walk whilst the weather was still good
We've picked up mum's shopping list ready for the weekly shopping expedition tomorrow morning, neither household intends on moving out of isolation to any great extent just yet.
Hope your day treats you kindly
@Muddy Cyclist - your outdoor concert sounds brilliant, such a good idea for a get together It will be interesting to see what you make of working/copying in styles inspired by others, I had a look at Paul Fowler, he does interesting work, quite abstract but with a lovely strong spatial feel
@gennepher - loved yesterday's pastel with that wonderful light path across the sea, even more so today's Thank you, I also enjoyed looking up the work of John Blockley and that of (I believe), his daughter Ann, both use edges and colour in a way I wish I could emulate (I'm not very good at positive/negative space yet and I'm quite tentative with colour). John Blockley seems to reveal the 'hard' bones of the landscape and Ann the 'soft' cover.
Art catch up - as I did before, to try to broaden my practice skills I've made some 'emulative' paintings, copying artists I admire as a learning tool, so there are a couple of these below.
no 1 - this is a shot at a painting by Charles Ash an American painter, he is able to convey so much with his use of colour and white space.
no 2 - this is inspired by a Dutch artist called Frieda Rouffa, I'm not too impressed by the top of my sky but I'm quite happy with how the water turned out
