TUESDAY SEPT22

MY TROUBLES  WITH  PICASA  CONTINUES.. I HAVE  TURNED  TO ADOBE PHOTSHOP,,, NOT  AS  HAPPY WITH IT,,

I STARTED  THIS  PAINTING LAS T NIGHT.. THE  DOCK , HE  IS  TRHOWING  FROM HAS  BEEN FILLED  IN..

I ALSO  BEGAN ANOTHER  PAINTING OF  CHILDREN  STRINGING  FLOWERS  TOGETHER  AND  BRADING   THEIR  HAIR. I TOOK THIS  PHOTO  WHEN I WAS  ON  RECESS DUTY IN GUEYDAN  ST. PETER'S  SCHOOL  PROBABLY OVER  20 YEARS  AGO. I USED IT  IN A LARGE  PAINTING  MONTAGE  FOR THE  TEACHER'S  LOUNGE AT  ST. JON VIANNEY SCHOOL.

I WILL TAKE  PICTURES OF IT TODAY.. I AM WORKING IN OIL.. I DO LOVE  OIL  AND  WHAT  IT  CAN DO  WITH COLORS.. I AM TRYING  TO ACHIEVE THE  SAME  AFFECT WITH  ACRYLIC... NOT  FEELING  AS  SUCCESSFUL..


COULD  THIS  SCENE BE  BETTER  IN OIL..OR IS IT A COMPOSITION PROBLEM.?. WHAT  IF  I STEPPED  BACK FROM SUBJECT AND PAINTED  IT  WITH MORE  SKY AND  AREA  AROUND IT.?.

SHOULD  I BRING THIS  PAINTING TO THE  STARBUCKS  SHOW?

IT IS  24X36.

HOW  ABOUT THIS ONE?
