On Becoming an Artist: January 2012
http://joannehanson.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
On Becoming an Artist. A journal on the struggle to learn how to paint well enough to call myself an artist. Friday, January 13, 2012. This is the third dog commission I have done for this family, but it was the toughest! The photo they sent me of the dog wasn't the greatest, and when I tried a close up, I couldn't figure out where the various parts of the dog were within the black blob that was the head! Sunday, January 1, 2012. For once, a painting without a lot of fall color! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

On Becoming an Artist: February 2012
http://joannehanson.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
On Becoming an Artist. A journal on the struggle to learn how to paint well enough to call myself an artist. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. One more before leaving for New Zealand. A friend of mine had asked me to paint her dog. As we were only a month or so away from leaving for New Zealand for seven weeks, and my to-do list was very long, I didn' t think I could get it done before leaving. I sketched it in, and then it sat on the easel for a week or two, looking at me, asking why it wasn't finished!

On Becoming an Artist: Using a separate monitor for reference photos

On Becoming an Artist. A journal on the struggle to learn how to paint well enough to call myself an artist. Monday, October 15, 2012. Using a separate monitor for reference photos. Labels: Colorado landscape oil painting. October 16, 2012 at 7:27 AM. Hi Joanne, lovely one. Yes using the laptop instead of a photo is an excellent idea. My printer does the same thing but the screen lets you zoom in and all that fun stuff. :) Have a great week. October 16, 2012 at 7:39 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

On Becoming an Artist: September 2013
http://joannehanson.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
On Becoming an Artist. A journal on the struggle to learn how to paint well enough to call myself an artist. Saturday, September 21, 2013. Fall has come to the High Country (almost). Leaves are starting to change, but it has been slow this year. Our first frost was late, just a couple of nights ago, but now they will change faster. This was painted plein air and then tweaked just a little in the studio. If I go back and see these trees they will probably be a brilliant yellow now! Painting small and often.

On Becoming an Artist. A journal on the struggle to learn how to paint well enough to call myself an artist. Thursday, October 10, 2013. A simple little 6x8 painting of a creek in winter, but the pattern of the shadows on the snow intrigued me. Hence the title, Shadow Pattern.
