Waves IV

5.5" x 12" Oil on hardboard

My camera batteries have punked out, this beach
color was repainted a lighter neutral tan instead
of the orange. I'm waiting for a replacement battery
from Sony to come so...
until it arrives (and hopefully will then camera work,
the message "system error" is nothing more than
shot batteries) I'll post some older work that
has been photographed.

I was listening to NPR while I was painting.
An interesting ambassador from Sudan,
speaking about boundaries and
the insurgency and Dafur. He lived in the US teaching
in the Chicago area I believe for nearly 20 years,
then returned to Africa.
The history of troubles seem to have begun with the British
rule, and then their wanting independence, like
others around them having gotten independence
from the British. Who's in charge seems
to be where they are stuck.
Is it to be a dictatorship or democracy?
All the fighting trying to decide meanwhile,
where so many innocent people suffer the
turmoil and instability around them.

What an honor and priviledge
standing on a beach figuring out the
complexities of the waves in oils.

Waves I

6 " x 6" on hardboard

Made it to MAINE, with an overnight in York
en route staying with roommate Martha from RISD,
and her husband Jay, MFA Ceramics at RISD.

It's been misty and overcast since we arrived, with
some rain here and there as well. Beautiful to take walks
on the beach, but one early morning outing to a private
lobster dock caught me in the rain.
I moved off dock to above with view
looking down on the dories instead,
protected under pineboughs and a small
umbrella rigged to another easel. Even I
felt the occasion was arduous. I was looking
through oak brances at boats, but for a small
canvas it was too busy, and I wiped it out before
returning. How do you like that?
I usually save
ones overburdened, just to see the what not to do,
or appreciate the good spots, or who knows what else
might reveal itself? In this case, the wetness of the
experience overall was not memorable. Oh, I hadn't
brought my slicker, so I just had some cotton layers
on, not so protective of dampness.
So painting the surf on overcast day above nestled next
to large rock cliffs was a pleasure.

These floaters are really intriguing to me.
They encompass both of my passions,
the nude and moving water.

Big Drop

16" x 16" Oil on canvas

Another day by the rushing water.
The sound the falling water makes is so loud,
and has an irregular rhythm as it falls
in uneven amounts but steady.
My underpainting of orange is so perfect
with all the moss green,grey rocks and dark shadows.
I'll post another stage most likely. I miss the orange
and brightness with warm.
