Sunday, After Church...
Maine Coast, After Church-(8x10,oils)
Fredric Edwin Church, that is. Nice little painting done as a copy for a "Fakes, Frauds and Forgeries" show at a Newport gallery this weekend. I had alot of fun with it, again, studying Church's lighting and his palette. He's only one of the finest painters from the Hudson Valley River movement. He also painted places in South America that truly made them look like another planet. He tended to make the real, surreal and stirring. Perhaps my most favorite painting of his is called Cotopaxi Eruption. He had a transparency to his work, and a detail that in reality was only hinted at rather than having really tight detail. The true mark of craftsmanship we all aim for.

Do you use a special program for watermarking or do you add watermarks through photoshop or some similar software program?
My wife explains that, she puts it in via photoshop,when it's in layers after we photograph it, and she flattens the layers, entrapping(digitally) the watermark. That how she tells me anyway...
Makes sense. Thank you.
Hmmm, I haven't learned how to watermark but I probably should.
I would love to be in that Fakes show. My friend Kelley MacDonald of Tiverton has been in it. Her link is on my blog.
Nice painting.
