Brilliant Bloggers! Some fine images.

Thank you Jan for putting me on your Brilliante Weblog list. Much appreciated. What I like about it is firstly that it gets me to look at the others you nominated! Some brilliant people indeed, honoured to be on the same list. Secondly it motivates me to evaluate some blogs I like, have another look, revise my Blogroll.

 

The rules of accepting are as follows:
1) Put the logo on your blog
2) Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4) Add links to those blogs on yours.
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.

So here are mine…

Two from Jared Shear who is a prolific and talented painter. His one-a-day paintings of Cougar Peak for a whole year, blogged on Cougar peak-a-Boo are an incredible testament to the environment.

His more general Blog Terra Peer is worth a good look.

Next is Janey’s Journey because she can do super simple sketches with fantastic flair. I am always inspired.

PrashArt is a master of line & wash. Open this full size image for example.
Simplicity and serenity.

I have been watching Helen Nehill‘s creative stuff on flickr – sort of a blogger, and a creator of Zines.

Elizabeth Love, New Zealand Colour, texture and composition. And a friend of the Agantighe.

Seventh: Lisa Rivas, Flying Colours. I am mentioning Lisa even though she already has the BW award. She is a great blogger, and does digital work – there is the connection.

I am following on with images from the blogs all of the blogs mentioned. Click on the images to go to their blogs. I hope that is ok by the bloggers, let me know if not & I will remove.

Painting

I worked today on a painting I began in January this year, and vitalised it a bit. Wondering where to go with it now.

A photo plus two options follow.

Earth Cross II b

This one has never had a proper post. It is in the Gallery and I have posted it with a border but I wanted to locate it and had trouble (the one with the border has a different name). So here it is, “Earth Cross II b” sketched on 17 December ’07

This is the one I used as a reference for an Acrylic, though it looks quite different. (posted below).

Circles

Lisa Rivas has written a great post about my work. Thank you Lisa.

She found some info I wrote about doing circles as a child. Thousands of small yellow circles they were. I was about 6. Day after day I did circles and coloured them yellow. I don’t colour them all the same, but I still do circles! As both images in Lisa’s post show!

Some collaboration with Lisa is brewing… watch this space. Also Note that I have updated my Artists links in the sidebar.

Thinking about circles and the Zen of circles I got going on a few more. Did lots, saved two.
