TUES AUGUST 2

REALLY HAD  A  PROBLEM GETTING  ON TO THIS  SITE. I HAVE  BEEN PAINTING ALOT. BUT  HAVE  NOT HAD THE  PATIENCE TO DEAL WITH COMPUTER. BECAUSE  I BOUGHT  ANOTHER  TOY. AN IPAD. THERE  ARE  ISSUES  THAT ARE  NOT  APPARENT  IN THE ADS  FOR THIS  TOY.I BOUGHT  IT  SO I CAN  TAKE  A  PICTURE  OF  WHAT  I AM SITTING  DOWN TO PAIN PLEIN AIRE. OR  WHEN I AM AROUND  PEOPLE  DOING  SOMETHING I THINK WOULD  MAKE  A NICE  PAITNING..BUT  PEOPLE DON'T SIT  STILL...LONG ENOUGH.  ANYWAY TH E CAMERA AND THE  SIZE OF THE  SCREEN WILL HELP  THESE  OLD  EYES,

HOWEVER, WHEN SETTING THIS  TOY UP, YOU HAVE TO  GO ON ITUNES AND  GIVE  YOUR  FIRST  BORN CHILD.. KIDDING  BUT THE   INFORMATION.. THE  HOOPS  I CALL THEM THAT  YOU HAVE  TO JUMP THROUGH  ARE DISCONCERTING TO OLDER  PEOPLE LIKE  ME. HAVING  SAID  THAT..I FINALLY PREVALED.

LOTS  OF  TIME  SPENT ...THO..

HERE ARE  SOME OF THE  THINGS  I HAVE  BEEN ABLE  TO PAINT  LATELY,,
WELL I TRIED  TOUPLOAD  PAINTINGS..MORE  GRIEF  IN DOINGTHIS.

I WILL TRY  MORE   LATER..

COMPUTER  IS  SO  SO  SLOW,,

JUNE 17

I HAVE  BEEN PAINTING  ALOT.. JUS T BEEN LAZY  ABOUT  BLOGGING. AT TIMES I AM CONSIDERING PAINTING MONTAGES  MORE... HOWEVER,  THEN I GO OUT TO THE PARK OR  A LAKE  FRONT  AND  I AM DRAWN  TO THE SCENE AND  RECORDING  IT 'S BEAUTY JUST  BECAUSE  IT IS  THERE.. AND  I CAN..
I AM HAVING  TROUBLE UPLOADING  PICTURES  AGAIN.

ANYWAY.... THIS  PASTEL PAINTED SCENE  IS  FROM THE  BASE OR  BOTTOM OF  MINGO FALLS.. I REDID  THE  RIGHT  HAND  SECTION..

THE  WATERCOLOR BELOW, IS  JUST A  CREATION FROM  MY MIND..OF  LOST  AND  FOUND  OBJECTS.. I TRIED  TO PAINT  A MORE  3 D EFFECT BECAUSE  I WANTED  TO ENTER A SHOW  OF   THREE DEMINSIONAL  LOOKING   OBJECTS,

 Painting on location waterfalls, streams, RIVERS. BUT THE LAST  PAINTING WILL HANG ON MY WALL WITH ALLTHE  OTHERS THAT  HAVE A  STORY.

SO MANY OF  MY TRAVELS  HAVE  BEEN DOCUMENTED BY MY PAINTINGS . THEY  HAVE  STORIES ATTACHED  TO THEM. MOSTLY WHEN AND  WHERE   BUT  A FEW HAVE  STORIES  ATTACHED THAT  ARE  NOT  EVIDENT  BY THE  PAINTING'S APPEARANCE. LOOK AT THIS  ONE. DOWN THE  STREAM ARE  PEOPLE.  AS  I WAS  PAINTING, I REALIZED  THERE  WAS  A  CHILD SCREAMING NOT  WITH HAPPY JOY BUT  FEAR. I  BEGAN TO RUN TOWARD HER. HER  DAD WAS  HOLDING ANOTHER  CHILD AND   TOO FAR  TO HELP THE   CHILD WHO HAD  WANDERED  TOO FAR  FROM HIM TO HELP HER.. SHE  WAS  BEING   PUSHED  BY THE   RUNNING  WATER AND   COULD NOT  RIGHT  HERSELF IN RELATIVELY  SHALLOW  WATER. AS  I REACHER HER, I TRIED  TO COAX  HER  TO WALK  AT  A DIAGONAL.. I WAS  TOO HIGH TO STEP INTO THE  WATER. AS  I LOOKED  FOR  A PLACE TO ENTER  AT A LOWER  LEVEL, A  WOMAN WHO I HAD  SPOKEN TO EARLIER, CAME  RUNNING  WITH A  BETTER  IDEA...SHE  WAS  CARRYING A  BRANCH.  SHE    ALSO PLUNGED  INTO THE  WATER  TO HELP THE  CHILD.. I WAS  ABLE  TO REACH THE  WOMAN AND  FORM A WAY TO GET  BOTH TO THE  BANK, I LEARNED  HER  NAME WAS  MARIE AND  AN ARTIST  AND  PROFESSOR. THE  CHILD 'S  NAME  I AM AFRAID  LEFT  MY MIND AS  SOON AS  I HEARD IT.. QUITE  AN AFTERNOON.

I CHANGED  THIS  PAINTING .. TOOK OUT THE  FLOWERS  AND  REPLACED  THEM WITH SMALLER VERSIONS..

PLUS  I STARTED  ANOTHER  ONE.. THAT  I WANTED  TO DO IN THE  FIRST  PLACE.. I AM GLAD  I WAITED.. I GAVE IT  MORE  THOUGHT .. AND  I SAW  ANOTHER  ARTIST'S PAINTING WHERE  THE  REFLECTIONS  OF THE  TREES AND  THE  SKY TOOK OVER THE  PAINTING... AND  MADE IT  SO MUCH MORE  INTERESTING THEN TRYING SHOW THE  TREES AND  SKY ABOVE THE SHORE  LINE.

THERE IS  A  DESIRE TO SELL A  PAINTING.. OF  COURSE.. BUT  STAY TRUE  TO THE  WAY I SEE THINGS.. SO  ...I AM TRYING TO PUT THEM IN A DIFFERENT  PRESENTATION.. ...

THIS PASTEL IS  FROM SHALOM PARK. OPAP  WILL PAINT THERE SATURDAY.

MONDAY

FIELD  OF  WILD  FLOWERS  THIS  SPRING .. COOL MORNING ..TO PAINT A  LOVELY  SIGHT. PASTEL IS  SO GOOD  FOR THIS  SUBJECT  ALTHOUGH  I AM VERY TEMPTED  TO REURN WITH WATERCOLOR  AND  ALSO  OIL.. STAY TUNED.
