Reflections on the creative process. Sunday, March 21, 2010. The painting of Ava at the Rock of Cashel in Ireland is finished. This painting's quiet moment is a rarity in Ava's life. When I last spoke with Ava on Skype, she was wearing her pink and white polka-dotted bathing suit and jumping up and down on the bed while we talked. She was a pink and white polka-dotted blur. This is what life is like when you're three. Labels: Ava at the Rock of Cashel. Friday, March 12, 2010. I need to put more tinted ra...

Reflections on the creative process. Thursday, November 18, 2010. Update on Savannah's portrait. This portrait of Savannah is coming along pretty well now and you can see the details in the hat. Her face is nearly done, but I see some changes that need to be made. Nothing is harder for an artist than capturing the exact likeness and I could be tweaking this for weeks, but there are more paintings to do in the meantime. Wednesday, November 3, 2010. Savannah in her Party Hat. Savannah in her Party Hat.

Reflections on the creative process. Thursday, November 17, 2011. One day in a land far, far away, we were able to catch a glimpse of an exuberant fairy running down the path. Luckily, a camera was a hand that day and later I was able to capture that elusive fairy in an oil portrait. Saturday, November 5, 2011. As it turns out the sharpest details are on the pots, lanterns and doors, in order to move the viewer's eye around the painting. Closeup of the doorway. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). While most of m...

Reflections on the creative process. Tuesday, February 16, 2010. The Golf Course President. I painted this portrait of my step-dad Bummie several months ago. He's the president of a golf course in Ohio, a course he and his family founded 50 years ago. In planning this portrait, I wanted to capture the essence of this man's spirit, his good nature, his kindness and his work ethic. So when I thought about how to do Bummie justice, I wanted to show him in day-to-day life. He's a humble man and very down...

Reflections on the creative process. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. An Evolving Composition- Still Life with China, a Bird's Nest and Oranges. Sometimes I start a painting with a composition fully formed in my mind, only to discover through the process that my original idea wasn't working and modifications were needed. In this case, editing the composition was necessary to draw the view's eye into the painting without too many distractions. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Stone Wall at Clava Cairn.
