Another Blogger's Day

Been busy working on my blog for you.  I am not the best at this I admit it, but many of the Widgets and Gadgets Beckon you to answer.  I'm still playing around with the format and will shorten and lengther the press as needed.  Please comment if you feel something is not right.  Comments help and your opinion counts.  So thanks in advance.

I went back in time today ... what a joy ... staring at my hand painted plate done by my grandmother more than 100 years ago.  She was French/German from Alsace Lorraine.  Its a beautiful plate and as I was rambling down my mega abstract road ... something stopped me and called me back to the first sketches I ever did.  So this piece you see is really an ode to my heritage and my grandmother and the great gift she left me.

Abstract

Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be only slight, or it can be partial, or it can be complete. Abstraction exists along a continuum. Even art that aims for verisimilitude of the highest degree can be said to be abstract, at least theoretically, since perfect representation is likely to be exceedingly elusive. Artwork which takes liberties, altering for instance color and form in ways that are conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable.

The breeze that floated in ....

It's a beautiful day, the air is a little cool but the temp is about 60 something and as I stand working on a painting I feel this wonderful breeze float through the door and the rustle of nature outside.  It's intoxicating really and a powerful bit of mercy on my exacting canvas.  It's nice to know that things come along to help you out.  Its making what might otherwise be a tedious task ..... ohhhhhhhhhhh sooooooo wonderful.  Thanks for listening and enjoy your day
