This week I
really have nothing much to show for myself. I have been dealing with ear problems which has knocked my painting on the head some what. They are, it seems, on the mend. Hope for a better week next week. The good news is a friend made the poster for my exhibition. This is it. The picture in the latest version is a bit better.
I did finish a 'finished' painting. The image was falling off the left side of the picture and with the darker top right it all stays in place!
Gesso'd out the bottom of the larger sunset and gesso'd out the wretched waves of the long thin one. The top part which, of course, doesn't really show is quite nice. (Iridescent angled version on the left)
Trust me, the waves looked much better in the photograph. So, not sure what I am going to do next with that canvas, try again? Do something very different or, in the end gesso it all out and start from scratch. So a lot of starting again this week. Oh and this embarrassment! It is the second try at a first coat and I do hope it's going to come good.
Hope to have more yummier stuff to show you next week. Thanks again for all your comments, it's very nice to know someone is looking and appreciating! Oh - and you might like to check out my other blog called

Hi Rosie. Sorry to hear you are under the weather. Your paintings are so vibrant! I don't see what's wrong with the waves. It's beautiful. You should put it in your show too. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteTrust me, the photo of the waves and the live picture of the waves were very different waves!
ReplyDeleteI hope your feeling better! I love all the colors of the sunset! So pretty. Theresa
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery for ear problems. Thoroughly enjoying your vibrant colors ... Fantastic! ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better. I like the poster your friend did - it certainly makes the viewer want to see more of your art work! I love your sunsets and personally think they all look fabulous. I'm not sure what you meant by the image falling off the canvas but whatever you did to it, it looks amazing to me!!
ReplyDeleteHi there hope you are feeling better now. I LOVE your sunsets they are soooo beautiful, my favourite colour combinations!!!
ReplyDeleteThese colors are just amazing. Hope you're feeling better. :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough the waves are not like in the photo are your waves, so if you see them, so they are. Hug

Rosie I DO hope you feel better soon. GREAT poster and pieces...love the tranquil vibe you've captured and bet the excitement is mounting!
ReplyDeleteLoving the colours! The poster is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHope your ears continue to mend!
The artist is the one you have to convince in liking the work and from there everything-else is a bonus. I would say try again in the waves if your not happy with them.....you've already started .The poster turned out great and adore the title. Hope you'll be better soon, take care.

It's exciting to see the poster completed, isn't it? It makes it official! I admire how you just gesso over anything you don't like and go right back after it. Feel better!

ReplyDeleteNice to know someone else gessos over their mistakes! speaking of which I have several to work on, but no time lately. Love all your vibrant colors! For wave help try http://www.visualartsnetwork.tv/van_tv.htm and look for the video anatomy of a wave by Joyce Ortner. I learned a lot from it. Happy PPF!
