Post Workshop Line-up

I took a number of paintings in progress with me to Deborah Paris' workshop to work on and also took along some blank linen panels just in case. I used those panels to start several more of my Northern Lakes/ Canoe paintings. I'm still intrigued by those images in part because I walk around the lake several days a week. I love to see the canoes in the water, and I love to depict them at dusk. The lake is always changing. I'm increasingly interested in the way we see lakes - often through a screen of trees and branches that we edit out.

The paintings in progress I took with me were mostly the images I've been working with of the more arid part of Washington. The one on the lower left, of fog and eroded hills, is one of my current favorites. As you can see I lined up all of them, fresh out of their travel box, on my drying shelves to take stock. Including the one of the canoe in yesterday's post, there are 11.

Actually the truth is there were 12. There's one which will never again see the light of day. It's already covered in a fresh application of Gamblin's very white oil ground. That happens.

Lisa, these are fantastic, love what you're doing. And as a grouping, wow! Looking forward to your exhibit. I keep referring to it as milepost 6 (must be the road association).

Thank you, both of you! I think it will be a good show and the ones on the shelf are getting finished. Yay!

My favorite love poem - West Wind 2 by Mary Oliver

Image
for Dan on Valentine's Day West Wind 2 by Mary Oliver You are young. So you know everything. You leap into the boat and begin rowing. But, listen to me. Without fanfare, without embarrassment, without any doubt, I talk directly to your soul. Listen to me. Lift the oars from the water, let your arms rest, and your heart, and your heart's little intelligence, and listen to  me. There is life without love. It is not worth a bent penny, or a scuffed shoe. It is not worth the body of a  dead dog nine days unburied. When you hear, a mile away and still out of sight, the churn of the water as it begins to swirl and roil, fretting around the sharp rocks --- when you feel the mist on your mouth and sense ahead the embattlement, the long falls plunging and steaming---then row, row for your life toward it. Still Waters. ©2010. Lisa McShane.

My favorite art inventory system

Image
Over the past couple of years I've looked at and played with a lot of computer programs for keeping track of artwork. Here are past blog posts on the subject: Art Inventory Systems, here's what I've tried and then this Update on Art Inventory Systems Alyson Stanfield has also written about this riveting subject on her great blog here . I come to these systems with built-in bias. I prefer a FileMaker based system to an Access based system because I think it's a more powerful and smoother software to use. I'd worked for a nonprofit that used Filemaker and it's what I know. I also prefer a system without goofy graphics. I'm an artist. I care how things look. If I open up software every couple of days I would like it to be clean and simple and not ugly. But computers evolve and the next direction is to the cloud. That is a system where software doesn't live on your computer but you access it via the internet. I operate on 3 devices: my iMac in my ...

Sketches for Dry Valley

Image
There's a valley in eastern Washington that has arresting geologic features. At the bottom is a dry riverbed, but the hills that surround it vary from tipped table tops to rounded forms with strange patterns of erosion. The scale of it all is huge. You can see the trees at the bottom of the valley in my lower sketch. I've been sketching this valley now for days, trying to arrange the elements in a way that conveys what catches my eye while still conveying the place itself. And getting the scale right. I'm still not sure I've nailed it. Here are some initial sketches, I'll be working on more today.
