Seeing Red again
Not much time to post - off to town in a minute. Always in a rush aren’t I?
I’ve made a start on my canvas for my second ever acrylic work. The colour chose itself.
Don’t know if I’ll finish by the deadline, but at least I can tell myself I did put down some paint.
I still have the Impasto Oil painting to finish by next friday. Think of chunky thick brushstokes (impasto), put down alla prima (all in one layer). Much harder than it looks Mr Van Gogh!
Off to an exhibition opening at the Regional Gallery tonight. It’s by a woman who is very well known in art circles, although I’m not familiar with her style. My lecturer has suggested I speak with this woman regarding my direction. It was all very out of the blue, but recenly I’ve been getting together with emerging artists, and there are some common dilemmas between us, regardless of our artistic style or medium.
Lots to think about.

I’m looking forward to seeing what the red canvas turns out to be!
… me too
i do admit that i love coming here always - even if i actually “have no time” - you do open up a world of wonders in a way and i must say i sometimes wish i were there as well … loved the orange-feeted bird - my goodness, you have a biosphere next to your blogosphere *g*

Ditto to the above….love to see the finished work…..
Keep well
Kind regards,

Hi Cindy,
We are having a great holiday. The river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest was fabulous except the internet wasn`t working. We are now in beautiful Switzerland but today it is cloudy and raining and we can`t go up into the Alps like we had planned so we are going for lunch on a renovated paddle steamer on the Lake of Thun instead. I have taken 500 photos already so you will be inunindated when I return. You sound like life is as busy as ever. The red pics are beaut.

Hi Cindy,
Having a good holiday. Great cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. Have taken 500 photos so be prepared to be inundated when I get back. You sound as busy as ever. Good luck with your canvas. Love the red pics. We are in beautiful Switzerland but is raining today and can`t go into the Alps like we planned so going for lunch on a renovated paddle steamer on The Lake of Thun instead. Give my regards to the other bloggers. Diane
Hey nice red!
Gosh, leave the computer for a couple of days and I miss all you lovely visitors! Thanks everyone for stopping by, have had a head that was just one giant aching mess. Feel a bit better now, though I’m rattling with all the headache pills.
Doda, Red Canvas needs another undercoat before the sketch - was going to do it Saturday arvo, till I hit the wall. I’m going to incorporate a white bird into it somewhere.
Elli,
You’re back! How was the trip? Have been thinking about the moleskin project, and yes, count me in!
The biosphere can get rather scary here at times, it’s not all cute’n'cuddly.
Elizabeth,
Thanks for the encouragement. I must admit, uni seems to be draggin this semester. Too many deadlines seem to be killing any spontenaity I’m afraid.

Wow you lucky lucky girl! I’ve been thinking about you and last time I checked there was no news on your blog. Will go and check in again in a minute. ONLY 500 photos? I’m disappointed!
Have a bottle of peach schnapps for me will you?
Tim,
I call that “Haemorrahage Red”!
