The Joy of Perspective!

Hi Everyone...We are looking forward to more opportunities to paint
Plein Air this Summer. I have always thought, plein air painting keeps
me fresher, and more aware of how light affects color. I wasn't aware I
had done so many, until we tidied the studio recently and found many,
many boxes of plein air and studio paintings..and that's just what we
found stored away in my studio !
I needed to keep off my ankle this week, I twisted it badly( much
better today), but while I was giving my ankle a rest, I enjoyed
sorting through all those plein air and studio paintings. Alot of them
weren't half bad! I know I can be too hard on myself, and this really
was an example of how perspective, and some time away from your work,
can help you judge it better ....Some of them just need a little more
adjusting, some I like just as they are..warts and all..I have to be
careful as I have just simply ruined some really nice works...oh is
that painful...should listen to Karen more often!!
We hope to have our annual online sale soon and some of those I haven't
ruined will be in the offering! Look for a newsletter on it!
Below is just six out of hundreds that we found! Wish me luck in
venturing forth!!
found work in studio
Found some gems!
I just have a couple of events that I thought the artists in the group
would like to be aware of.
I am posting the most recent Art activity I have scheduled: A painting
demo with our PRIMA (Pacific Rim Institute of Marine Art) group. Our
Spring paintout at the Fishermen's Terminal in Seattle.
We did it last year and had a great turnout, a wonderful warm and sunny
day...may be cloudy this year...forecast keeps changing every day!
Everyone is welcomed to join us, you can paint all day, or just wander
around and watch what everyone else is doing or do both! A couple of
great restaurants there..the higher end "Chinooks"..one of Seattle's
better Seafood restaurants and a more casual, take out, fish and chip
place, reasonable and very nice casual place. Look for our PRIMA
tent...just to the East of the restaurants and shops, up towards the
docks..also have a room to relax, have coffee and chat!
Hope that some of you get a chance to come by..it is free and open to
everyone! All my best, Ned
