Nicholas Williams: Priming Day
http://paintingblind.blogspot.com/2010/05/priming-day.html
In the tradition of the craft of painting, I mix and apply my own primer (gesso) to canvas I buy in rolls and stretch myself. I use a mixture of calcium carbonate (chalk) and polyvinyl acetate (PVA) glue, thinned to the right consistency with water and coloured with a little pigment for a pale cream ground. Besides keeping the tradition alive and a certain DIY coolness):. It is fun to be involved in the painting process right from the get-go. I create the total object. It is a bit cheaper. Its part of my...

Nicholas Williams: April 2014
http://paintingblind.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Actually painted again- yesterday, for the first time in nine months. Wholly Moses. And in my brand new very own ultra awesome studio. It's been a long winter in more ways than one.

Nicholas Williams: Arbutus, the Strawberry Tree
http://paintingblind.blogspot.com/2010/05/arbutus-strawberry-tree.html
Arbutus, the Strawberry Tree. Well, in retrospect, maybe this one is not 100% finished, but I'm posting it here because this blog has fallen off the map (and needs to get back on), and I have some more stuff coming. I'm painting again, and feeling a general surge in motivation, which is very refreshing. I find that the 22 X 28" format is perfect for big trees. I have a few more up my sleeve, still.

Nicholas Williams: High Noon
http://paintingblind.blogspot.com/2009/11/high-noon.html
Yup, you know where this is. It's not that I have a one-track mind so much as I really love the place, and find the landscape there exactly the vehicle for the emotions I want to project.

Nicholas Williams: From the Show
http://paintingblind.blogspot.com/2009/10/from-show.html
Video of the show and interview with me. Life is a blank wall sometimes. The show, hung. Miriam has an infallible sense of what goes where, for which I am thankful. It was a whole day's work, getting it up. My big piece with the paint still wet. It wasn't just good art you missed. . Me and the wifey. VICTORIA REVISITED [the other side] runs until October 22. See you down there! All photos (c) the artist's wife and Miriam Mulhall. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Nicholas Williams: Shortliner, Kelowna Pacific
http://paintingblind.blogspot.com/2011/01/shortliner-kelowna-pacific.html
Shortliner, Kelowna Pacific. Shortliner" 16 x20" Oil on Canvas. The best bits came the easiest as usual. Not bad after not having painted for 6 months. It's an Electro-Motive Dynamics (EMD) loci, probably sold to Kelowna Pacific by CN and repainted. It warms my heart that these shortline companies are still viable and making a solid go of it. It not only keeps trucks off the road- a lot of trucks- but also contributes to the economy and helps keep our regions what they are. We gotta get together soon.

Nicholas Williams: Esme, Goddess of Sleep
http://paintingblind.blogspot.com/2011/01/esme-goddess-of-sleep.html
Esme, Goddess of Sleep. Esmeralda, Goddess of Sleep" 11 x 14" Watercolour and pencil on paper. My brain is turning to mush. My wife's teddybear-hugging habit is corrupting me and making me soft. But why not eh? So this is really more of a portrait than a still life. Bears do have a certain plastic quality to them, but there are also fuzzy, which makes it hard. Maybe someone will want this as a gift for a grandchild? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Nicholas Williams: Bush Bridge, Tsuius Creek Tributary
http://paintingblind.blogspot.com/2011/05/bush-bridge-tsuius-creek-tributary.html
Bush Bridge, Tsuius Creek Tributary. It's nice to be able to hear the birds and enjoy the morning sun. A calm and nurturing environment to live and work in. Bush Bridge (Tsuius Cr. Trib.)" Oil on Canvas 24 X 30". I clambered my way over huge slippery rocks to take this picture. No broken legs, but it was close! Lets get together soon ok? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
