Workshop Demo__after "Where Morning Gathers"___12x16__$950 unless you are in the workshopSo! Last night was the opening of "Passing America: The Great Plains"...lots of people came, on a busy night in Lincoln, NE. Bill Cosby performed across the street, and the Husker Homecoming festivities were in full force. As I type this, the Huskers are on TV, momentum on their side as they are catching up to BEAT Ohio State! (football fan, here).
I am staying in NE an extra week, to teach a series of workshops.
Today, I taught a full group of mostly professional artists. I demonstrated my technique of painting fast, by simplifying the scene into 5-7 shapes of color, and pre-mixing the colors. Below is my palette, with colors pre-mixed, in ORDER as they will be placed on the canvas. ...The demo is a derivative of my LARGEST painting at the Great Plains Art Museum..
Tomorrow we will meet at sunrise and paint till sunset! Get ready, y'all!!!

Danielle Rue is a young writer for the Daily Nebraskan, (University paper) and she did a VERY good job of interviewing me! Thank you, Danielle! The story is great, and makes me want to meet me! hahaha
I love this painting. You're a master of the skies and specially sunset and sunrise. The contrast between your cool purples and vibrant yellow/orange is just great. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat story, great project! Your work is an inspiration in many ways, not least of which the focusing in on what loss takes away from us and how we can miss the ordinary little joys of everyday life. I so miss seeing your work in person, V . . . !
