Alan Spring 4

 I decided that there were things I could do to my bayou painting to make it better. A lot of scrubbing to bring out the light and some other little touches. I kinda like it now. 


After my successful hip replacement I decided to concentrate on drawing. I can draw without pain. Later I’ll go back and paint it. This is sunset on a bay and has some beautiful blues and yellows in it. I like drawing and maybe should have used larger paper. It’s only 8 1/2 X 12.

  1. Glad to hear the new hip is a success! I like the bayou better now. There's an eerie quality to the light that's interesting. I already like the drawing of the house on the bay. Looking forward to seeing the paint go in, too.

  3. Also congrats on the new and hipper Alan. The bayou painting looks good. I love the honey mud of the water. Is it moving fast or just lying on its back? That change in color, I can't tell if it's a painted in or the result of warped paper.

  4. I like the softness of the colors in the bayou painting. It’s very atmospheric. Interesting that you call the drawing a sunset, when it’s really an incredible drawing of a building! Glad you’re feeling well enough to paint and draw. Don’t forget to get up and walk around every 30 minutes or so…
