I photographed some of my acrylic 600 x 600 paintings. Here is an Earth Cross and a detail. Following that are more. I have posted these before, but these images are better.

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.

Flax – Video
Maybe the Gallery (flash) won’t work on the iPhone, but YouTube will! I have added the video to the Gallery as well.
To see all my videos, (not that many) go to this page on YouTube. I think this will work as an RSS feed for Google Reader There will be more, I want more in the Gallery.

Landscapes at The Daily Grind / The Vault
The show is on. All week Landscape Portraits have been on the walls at the café in the design store. On Tuesday lunchtime we celebrated the “opening ” with a bunch of friends.
I’ll put more photos up soon.
Here is the wording in that card on the wall.

Tired, too much to do, but got this one as I diverted from the essentials.

Gallery Update
I have tweaked the Gallery considerably. It now has my current draft Bio and My Art statement. (comments on that welcome as I am about to use those more in various places!)
I am working on adding links from the images ion the gallery to their original appearance in a blog post. It is in the blog post that there is more info about the context and where there may be discussion about the image.
I use a flash plugin: SimpleViewer. Great for ease of use. I think I may need to get the pro version… anyone familiar with that? I’ve manually entered what I want in the first three images in the Flax page in the Gallery.
Painting day – a question about acrylic technique.
I worked hard today painting in acrylics. Not much to show for it, nothing to post here in real media, (still waiting for my camera, it arrived from Hong Kong but its at the airport till Monday, but there is nothing to photograph anyway.) I was trying to translate a #0736 Trees from the Thousand Sketches and it was hard. This sort of digital to physical is a challenge.
One thing I did, in a moment of frustration with real paint, was a new digital. It just flew out. It is like the one I was using for a reference, with a subtly different feel.

It is now obvious why I found it hard. The mottled effect is done digitally by setting the paper to very rough on those layers. The light spots are pits in the “paper”. Maybe I need to forget about being too true to my digital version & go with the medium? Or maybe persist?
How would you do this in acrylic?
Amazing!
