Just Jack - A Work in Progress
We are having the typical rainy weather, which unfortunately seems to be normal for Hallowe'en.
Today, I came across a box of paintings that I did in the Still Life class at KAGS and I selected this one that was started a long time ago (see post on 12 December 2014).
After looking at the sketch I decided to remove the witch's hat on the Jack O' Lantern as it dragged the eye out of the drawing. I also had to change the name from "Jack in the Hat" to "Just Jack".
Next, I reworked the stem, followed by adjusting the outer edges of the pumpkin's shell and lastly, I changed the teeth on Jack's smile to make them a little more crooked.
Using new gamboge, I painted in the glowing eyes, nose and mouth.
I will post this painting at a later date once more work on it has been completed.
Thank you for looking at my artwork.

ACEO - Pink Sky 7
Today I pulled out this painting that I had started a while ago (see posts on 26 December 2016 and December 2017) and wanted to get it completed.
Using burnt sienna, raw sienna, alizarin crimson and a small amount of French ultramarine blue I painted in the rocks on the far shoreline, and washed the colours over the large rock face in the foreground.
Making various greens from French ultramarine blue, Antwerp blue, raw sienna and new gamboge I added some variations in colour into the background trees.
Next I darkened the greens with a little burnt sienna and painted the needles onto the foreground trees.
Using the greens and burnt sienna, I painted in the tree trunks and branches on the pine trees and the shadows on the rocks.
If you would like more information about ACEO please go to my post on 11 March 2010.
The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.

Setting up the Nature's Splendour Exhibit at KAGS
Today I am at the Kawartha Artists’ Gallery and Studio setting up the KAGS Outdoor Painters' Exhibit called Nature's Splendour.
Since Carol, Vera and I are co-conveners of this show we arrived early to measure out the floor space for the exhibitors and put their names on the wall with tape.
We were then able to set up our own displays. I started by setting my table up first and then took out my paintings from their containers and lined them up against the wall.
I put my largest painting over the table and placed my two smallest, a pair of framed ACEO beneath it.
Next I placed two pieces to the left side of the table on above the other.
From there I started on the right side of the table where I wanted a grouping of paintings and I staggered the paintings to create movement.
Now that all the paintings are hung in the wall I can set up the display on the table.
First I covered the table with a lace tablecloth, followed by placing the rack in the centre of the table and putting the shrink wraps in the rack.
I finished by putting the card rack with my biographies on the left and on the right I placed a small painting on an easel.
The show opens on 24 October and continues until 11 November, with the opening reception on Sunday 28 October from 1-4 p.m.

Silent Sumac I - A Work in Progress
Earlier this month (see post on 16 October 2018) I worked on a couple of pieces using elm leaves and today I thought I would set out sumac leaves.
I laid out a number of the compound leaves in various patterns until I was pleased with the design.
I will post this piece at a later date once it has been completed.

Abstract 45
This is the last technique we learned called a swipe pour in the Pour Your Heart Out workshop with Valerie Kent at the Cavan Art Gallery.
I used three different colours putting each one into separate cups, then adding Floetrol and water in all of them and adding from 1-3 drops of silicon.
In my first cup I used Mediterranean blue and added one drop of silicon.
In my second cup I used teal and added two drops of silicon and in my last cup I added three drops of silicon to silver paint.
Each colour was poured onto the canvas in a loose circular coil shape much like a wave cresting.
Using a palette knife, putty knife or spatula spread the paint around and then roll the canvas slightly.
This original 2" x 2" acrylic painting and will be available with its own display easel for $25.00.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork.
