Inversion.1: Dragon Gate Cruise

 Hello this is Susan resubmitting Dragon Gate Cruise as Inversion 1.1. When the original painting posted to wall by artist tape, fell on the floor upside down, I was thrilled to see a fresh viewpoint of the piece: the river became sky & cruise ships seemed coming down from sky thru a rainbow! The mountains became farms sliding pointed down. For past 6 months, we are immersed in a new reality, a new dimension! Let us enjoy this journey!

 I finished Cool Animal Names part 1. Jeepers, I wonder if Ken's examples are influencing me to do a series? Next... I'm not sure. Maybe I'll do some studies of others' works, like Elaine O. is doing. It seems to really be influencing her painting, and I could use a little inspiration right now. Current events paralyze me if I'm not careful.

I'm starting another portrait. While I'm still at the earliest light wash stage, I've added some of the dark bits (like the hair and eyes) as I found the missing eyes to be a little creepy. I know! I'm coming around on this and may be changing my MO. 

I've also done a couple more paintings in the Sargent project. This time, I selected subjects where they were very undeveloped. Even though he basically just paints a slash of paint for features onto a beige blob, it looks realistic and very much like a specific person.  Definitely something to work on!

If you click on your image once you insert it, and hit + a few times you can make it bigger.  The fish is done.  Thinking about the water.  I want to use bigger, simpler tiles.  Something different than the fish but not too different, you know what I mean.


Having a little opening this afternoon at the Ten Cat at 3:30.  If anybody wants to drop by you are welcome, but I fully understand if you don't.
