The Glamourous Life. - Calypso Moon Artist Movement - Freedom

Market Original Oil on Canvas 16" x 8" $480.00


Crisp early morning air, walking through the market, anywhere on the planet. The freedom of choices and moving through them. The freedom of relationship. The freedom of abundance. Fruit, vegetables, crafts, bread, clothing, jewelry... all the riches of the world... the market.
This is my Calypso Moon Artist Movement entry.

Live is good hein?

The Glamourous Life. -Sylvia in Color and how the heck to take pictures of oil paintings?!

Sylvia 16"x8" original oil on stretched canvas

from the grisaille...to color!
Hmmm, I have heard this before...but photographing oil paintings is very different than acrylic. I keep getting this haze... if you have any suggestions, I would lovalovalove to hear them.

All the pieces have to be in tomorrow morning for the vernissage. And here.. you are getting a sneak peak. Exciting, huh?

The Glamourous Life (excerpt Chapter 11) Thank you Christine Lafuente!

The Glamourous Life of An Artist...


Study-ala Christine Lafuente 6"x6" oil on hardboard.
What, tell me what is more inspiring than trying to replicate another artist's work, as a practice! that you admire profoundly. Here is my rendition of Christine Lafuente's 'Zinnias and Melon' I love the sliding slither of paint in her work. Liquid fluid Impressionism. And yet, it holds cohesive. The colors she uses are so very...delicious.
So the exercise is this, find a style that you truly admire. Paint like that. You will be surprised at how much information is in a brushstroke.

Lachelle Seated. Oil on Canvas 10"x8"

Because the sketch for this painting(see previous previous posting)was loose and relaxed, flowing, I just had to invite myself to express that in the painting.
This practice of duplication from another person style is Learning. It provides an opportunity to develop the eye hand coordination in yet another direction. Every one is so very unique that we will always be ourselves. This practice gives one a bit a view, the tiniest one, into the Way of someone else.
