Lorraine Shirkus: A Painter's Journal: Another Day in Paradise
http://lorraineshirkus.blogspot.com/2015/07/another-day-in-paradise.html
Lorraine Shirkus: A Painter's Journal. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. Another Day in Paradise. It was fun to concentrate on color and making marks and not think. At all about accuracy. I take photos of buildings all the time but I'm. Not really interested in reproducing them on canvas. I've wasted a lot. Of time moaning about not having a subject I'm excited about. Then it struck me that I could assemble different architectural features to. Sketchbook and used it as a model. Color was made up and maybe it's.

Lorraine Shirkus: A Painter's Journal: Boston Near The Wharf
http://lorraineshirkus.blogspot.com/2014/05/boston-near-wharf.html
Lorraine Shirkus: A Painter's Journal. Friday, May 23, 2014. Boston Near The Wharf. Perfect morning last September in Boston. This image doesn't match the painting. Or the photo in Photoshop. Here in Blogger, it's very contrasty, coarse and blues. Are too saturated and ultramarine-y. The last post really heightened the reds. Inaccurately. This happened for a few posts last fall and then seemed to correct. Itself. Is anyone else noticing this happening to their images? Posted by Lorraine Shirkus. Lorraine...

Lorraine Shirkus: A Painter's Journal: At Batterymarch
http://lorraineshirkus.blogspot.com/2014/06/at-batterymarch.html
Lorraine Shirkus: A Painter's Journal. Thursday, June 19, 2014. I really enjoyed painting this in spite of running into problems along. The way. I felt I had a little more clarity on how to solve them, not. That clueless, frustrated feeling that sometimes descends. I'm working. Towards a two-person show for next March and wanted to settle on a. Subject that I could enjoy exploring for several months. I thought that. Would be landscapes and took the Workman class to get a little more. And I love the color...

Lorraine Shirkus: A Painter's Journal. Monday, June 16, 2014. This is a great old building on Galveston's industrial side that's seen better days. I painted it over several weeks, starting out pretty literally, then set it aside for a. Few days at a time until some "aha" moment came to me on what to do next. It. Went through a lot of transformations over time each time emerging with less. Spelled out and different color shifts. Now that I see it as a photo image, I'm. Posted by Lorraine Shirkus. View my ...
