PAINTINGS!!! Finally!!!
English Dusk (8x10, oils SOLD)
English Landscape(oils, 8x10, $110)
Well. I'm back to doing some paintings. I did a stack. Isn't this why I started this blog? As usual, my wandering attention and busy schedule throw me off. But as a bit of inspiration and, focus, I went back and did a stack of paintings. The reality is these are created for a show in Salem Mass coming up in Oct but, I wanted to "preview" them here if anyone wants them. One of the things I love about the English landscape is something Constable and Turner found-the lighting. At dusk there is almost this russet lighting, the likes of which aren't found anywhere else. Perhaps it's a combination of the type of trees and the landscape and such, which is alot of farmland. Anyway, it's always something that inspires me no end.

These are gorgeous, Bob. I was always a big fan of Constable. Have only been to the English countryside once, but it does look like that. Constable and Thomas Hardy.
Thanks Leslee! I LOVE doing these. I mean, yeah, I love the sci fi but God knows I drop to my knees at the sight of a COnstable, Hardy or Turner. The mood and lighting and way they saw the landscape was dreamlike. WHen I got back to them I realized how much I missed them.
Wow! I'm just blown away by these! Your range is amazing, I'm convinced you can express anything with a brush. Love these compositions. You can really feel the atmosphere and the wind.
Thanks Eric!! I really enjoy doing these and they're fun and quick to do. Most take half an hour to maybe an hour tops.
Heh. I was actually thinking of Hardy the writer - didn't realize that there was a painter, too! I think I read Hardy's novels picturing them painted by Constable. :-)
Oops! Wrong HArdy. But I know what you mean. British landscapes have this wonderful "autumnal" feel to them and are great this time of year.
