Welcome back, paint fans!
I’m out trying to do some small plein air paintings this week and not blogging from my usual site. Unfortunately I don’t have those new things ready yet but I’ll offer something that might be of interest to readers of this series.
Posted below is a painting seen in a previous volume of this series. It was actually the subject of volume 5. The first photo is the very same photo seen in that volume. At that time I had indicated that I was in the process of getting a new frame for it from a place called Plein Air Frames. http://www.pleinairframes.com/
That frame finally arrived. The second photo shows the result. The effect is dramatic.
Needless to say, I am very satisfied with the new frame and can recommend the site. (I’ve actually used the same site for the frame seen in volume 3 of this series.
Well, thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you all back here soon with something new. (If I can get to a computer out here in the boondoocks.)
Paint me a picture of your thoughts.
Hello Boran,
Having spent time in Red Rock country, I really like your painting. For some reason I have such trouble doing landscapes. I always get hung up on the skies.
I only feel comfortable lately doing paintings of animals or people – things that have eyes that I can use as a focal point to give life to the painting. Perhaps I should tell myself, “The skies are eyes” and treat the sky as the same sort of “window to the soul of creation” as eyes are the “window of the soul” of living things…
Just this past year I had some pieces reframed. Wow – a whole new world which I entered with the question, “What do I want the frame to do?”
