Random Quote
Use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English - it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them - then the rest will be valuable. A wordy habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice.
-- Mark Twain

Hammock - Thumbnail Sketch |
During lunch today, I sketched out my next painting. I'll call it "Hammock." What you see below is actually about 1 1/2" wide.  And I can see that I have problems with how I see this already. The palm tree at left is not over to the left quite far enough. The coloring in some of it needs to be re-thought, especially the sand. I'll try to sketch it slightly larger before hopping into the 16" x 20" painting. (Scanning helps me during the painting process because it helps me to see the work more objectively and correct things early.) |

 I worked on this for an hour after breakfast this morning, using my 1" filbert brush. The sketch is about 5" wide. I changed out my colors and better positioned the elements in the painting. I'm ready now for the larger painting. |
