Placing a number of Rooftop snow pictures. Watercolors first with larger oil paintings to follow. These all from a photographic exploration of an old church deep in Baltimore's 'Pigtown' area. Oils are being particularly slow to dry right now; 'grumpy'. & I now believe that I am allergic to Copal(s) both the crystal form and the varnish.
Due to the precepts of this website all of the 'Harmonious' images have been deleted by the managers.
Since Late October; I have been drawing only. (I may have a developed an allergy to oil paint (!)). Where the images derive I am not sharing. All are working titled - "Harmonious". I am now starting to load these...
Beginning to load a final series for 2013. - without fear of reprisals - and they may be censored on this website...
I have completed a sculpture this week. It required the summer to finally jell. 7 by 7 by 32 inches, made of a wooden framing, a fiberglass shell which is covered in stained paper sheathing and additional miscellaneous materials. It hangs and swings from an overhead support. Titled; "LIL' BINGLE" - A dark shot of it is here...
Just a note here concerning contacts for purchasing my pictures: I cannot reply to E-mails from or through ArtWanted. My stuff doesn't work that way. Any contact would have to be through a DIRECT E-mail to me.
finished 2 1/2 hours. Titled; 'Little Bear'.
From Annapolis MD - 'dueling brushes' -- yesterday The picture I completed is as close to my studio practice as I've ever gotten. There were two of these skipjack 'scale' replicas on the Annapolis city dock. One was called 'Bear' and the other 'Bull' I called the pictures 'Little Bear' because the alternative would not work as well...Ha Ha.
In Frederick past sat. I used a large shopping cart. I had altogether about five miles to walk in 90 % heat. I took all my gear (forgetting key stuff to be sure). and had only one instance of a hiccup, which jumbled the load and almost screwed the surface of the wet painting. (which issue I shall soon address by making a 'wet-canvas' carrier.) In the sense that I had - HAD to travel this distance - with all the 'quipment (including a 'comfy' chair) this thing saved my bacon-bitz. Problems occur with the size of it overall. It wont fit in my car trunk, so i have to unload it and put it on my rear seat inna car. It is just kinda too big. SO I'm thinking of soon 'modifying' it by taking it apart, which might involve cutting It up, and reasselembling it to a size and form which will custom work for this direct need. caint doit this week, Cause/and I'm going into annapolis plein-air event this saturday. The distances there from the maps looks to be about 2.5 miles with carting more gear/weight. There is a lot of extra weight on the shopping cart - basket design which I may cut out/away. And the handle length's a problem. But the large wheels are phafect for city brick pavings and cracks. Now to figger where to put the grill, coolers and etc.....
