I'm an amateur acrylic painter. I began painting air brush acrylics more than 35 years ago, when there were no commercially available airbrush acrylics. I watered down the tube acrylics and sprayed the masonite panels for a few minutes, until the paint clogged the brush. I then cleaned the airbrush and started all over again.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I gave up painting when I started my engineering consultancy in 1985. I tried to restart acrylics, this time brush acrylics, in the late 1990s, but it wasn't until most of my clients went offshore that I have had time to really delve into painting again. Occasionally, I've taken workshops and short courses, but for the most part, I'm largely self-taught, as you will quickly see. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I work very quickly. After all, acrylics dry like crazy, particularly here in Florida. For my 'studio' work, I work in my garage, with my easel propped on a workbench. Not bad in the fall and spring, quite humid with mosquitos in the summer, and quite chilly in the winter.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>This blog consists of several threads, ranging from portraits that I do at a local Thursday Night Sketch Group, to vehicle paintings, land- and seascapes, still lifes, surrealism, and nudes. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>[YES, THERE IS A THREAD DEVOTED TO NUDES! YOU SHOULD BE 18 OR OLDER, GUYS!]</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I am a member of a couple of local art groups and am a semi-regular contributor to the on-line Wet Canvas.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Where do I show my paintings? Usually locally, at H'Art Gallery, the local Fine Arts Center, a local library, at one or another local art group. Years ago, when I did 48 x 48 airbrush paintings, I exhibited at Chicago Juried shows such as Oak Brook and 60th Street Art Fair. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong> I'm always asked if I sell. The answer is yes, but my prices scare people off. For example, my 16 x 20 vehicle paintings are $1000. My 24 x 30 still lifes are $4000. On the other hand, my 8 x 10s go for as little as $50 (but they don't sell either). </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>A NOTE TO THOSE PERUSING THE THREADS. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I RARELY START NEW THREADS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I COMPLETE A THURS NITE SKETCH, I ADD THE PTG TO THE TOP OF THE PORTRAIT THREAD. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>SO EVEN THO IT LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT UPDATING THE BLOG, I AM! REALLY! </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>YOU GOTTA KEEP COMING BACK FOR THE NEW STUFF!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><strong>By the way, earlier I had posted a Work In Progress (WIP) of a 24 x 36 painting I'd done of an early 1900s Postman. He was sitting on a two-wheeled cart that was drawn by a single red ox. There were probably a dozen or so photos of the WIP. I had rendered a B+W newsprint photo in acrylics. When I queried one of my artist colleagues about offering the ptg to a local African American Historical Museum, he advised me to check the copyright info. Sure enough, if the photo was taken by an unknown person, the copyright is valid for 120 years from the expected date of the photo. Because it was estimated that the photo was taken in the early 1900s, the copyright is valid until at least 2020. Meaning of course, any public display of a copy is in violation of the copyright. Ergo, I took down the WIP thread on this website.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I am fascinated with surrealism. It was a French art movement that began in the 1920s as a spin-off from DADAism and Expressionism. It was supposed to be a manifestation of the unconscious mind, a collection of things that do not seem to rationally go together. Altho most people recognize Dali as the greatest surrealist, his very early work seems to be closer to the surrealistic ideal. My favorite surrealist is Magritte. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I've played with the concept off and on for a few years. I am posting some paintings that I believe capture my view of surrealism. I'll try to explain as I post them.</strong></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I decided that I've accumulated a lot of "old" paintings. Meaning stuff that goes back to when I decided to restart my hobby in earnest about 2005 or so. I'd been painting acrylics for many years until I started my consultancy in 1985. At that time, I decided to "abandon" painting to emphasize my business. In 2005, after much of my consulting business went overseas, I resumed acrylics, this time focusing on brush painting rather than airbrush painting. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I dug the paintings that follow from under a workbench. Many of the paintings are from photos I've taken on my trips around the world.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Some are okay, some need some redoing, and some need to be painted over. Right now, however, I consider this thread of the blog to be a repository for them. </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">There is no rhyme or reason to their order here. I will try to identify their source, however.</span></strong><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>As I mentioned in one of the earlier posts, Wet Canvas Acrylic Forum once ran MAPS. The challenge was to paint a famous artist work in acrylics. This is the famous Persistence by Dali. I painted it in a size similar to his, viz, 9 x 12. The detail here attests to Dali's very early work and his skill as a highly detailed painter</strong></span></div>

<div>
</div>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>In our town, we have a Thursday nite workshop. It begins at 1830 h and runs until about 2000 h. We have a different amateur model, usually a townsperson, each week. The model has the same pose for the entire time. He/she sits for 20 min, then we break for 5 min. If the acrylic sketch is really bad, I take it home to paint over. If it looks really good, I offer it to the model. The ones below were "others." </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div>
<strong><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;"></span></strong></div>
</span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I've been attending the workshop for about 4 y. The ptgs below are representative (in no chronological order) of the hundreds I've done. They are all 12 x 16 on cheap canvas panel and they were all painted in the 1-1/2 h time period.</strong></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A while back, I viewed a YouTube where an artist claimed that he could paint portraits using just three colors - burnt sienna, burnt umber, cad red med - and white and either mars black or Payne's grey. So I've been working in this limited palette (except where the clothing needs some color). </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've listed these paintings with LP</span></span></span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The first two models refused to pose</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The third wasn't too happy to pose, either</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>The model and I were on a 2 ft stage</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>She was sitting on a 'kitchen' chair </strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I was standing about 10 ft from her and could not back up enough to get proper balance in my ptg</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I wanted to use a red prepped canvas but decided that the BG would clash with her purple blouse, so went to a grey-green BG</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>This turned out to be a poor choice as well</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>There was no control of the lights,</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong> so no definitive shadows on her face</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>And it was hot, hot, hot and very humid</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>About 5 min into the pose I was sweating</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I am right-eyed and left-handed</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Because of the set-up and those viewing my effort, I needed to stand away from my easel - </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>NOT MY STYLE</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>The model said that she would not pose for more than 30 min, meaning that I needed to work more rapidly than normal</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I spent first 20 min blocking and explaining acrylic paint combinations, brushes, my approach, my palette </span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>About half-way through her second sitting, she got a cell phone call and held the phone to the ear that I was trying to paint</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">To recap...</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Bad lighting</span></strong></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>It's not in acrylic but in heat-set oils, 12 x 16 on stretched canvas (really!). </strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>BTW, I quickly gave up this medium. Het-set oils stayed forever wet until exposed to at least 250F (100+C). The bugs in the garage loved the always-wet paint, the canvases needed to be small enough to fit in our oven, my DW hated me cooking the canvas in the oven to set the paint, the stretchers cracked and warped and oozed sap, and the brushes were bitches to clean! </strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>After a few attempts with the medium, I gave away more than $100 in Genesis paints.</strong></span></div>

Here are three more. The first is a tabletop easel that has extended legs to allow me to stand while painting. The second is the conversion of an ancient wooden ladder into a very rugged studio easel, the studio being my garage. And the third is my set-up in my studio, with a tabletop easel propped on a workbench. Unfortunately the studio set-up is the best I can do at present. Some day I hope to have a REAL studio.</strong></span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">STILL LIFE PAINTINGS</span></span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I have been doing still life paintings for about four years now. I usually work from photographs and try to get as close to realism as possible. Sometimes, because the foto is the wrong size or a portion is less than interesting, I fudge the final painting. However, I have been hammered repeatedly by artists who believe 1) that anyone who copies a painting is not an artist, and/or 2) that if one wanted an exactly reproduced scene, one should just take a photograph. Despite these critiques (of which there have been many), I still enjoy converting the fotographed images into my versions of works of art. And yes, these (and the car paintings) are all acrylic paintings, not photos.</strong></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Some time ago, I went to a car show in Benicia California where I took a bunch of fotos of classic cars. I was particularly intrigued by the reflections in chrome and brightly polished metal. So I decided to paint the reflections. Now people will always ask - what is the color of chrome? The answer is - whatever it reflects. Essentially that's true to some extent from any reflective surface. </strong></span><br />
<strong><br /><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>All of these paintings are in 16 x 20 acrylic on canvas panel.</strong></span><br />
<strong><br /><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>This was earliest one - 16 x 20</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><strong>I put this in a local art show. As is apparent, there's a green car reflected in the grille. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><strong>I've been told that that green car appears exactly 9 or 10 or 11 times.</strong></span></div>
