A process

 This is a tree that Constable painted.

This is the tree that Ken painted using Constable's image.  Ken was not very happy with it.  So he cropped seven views of Constable's tree, and painted each one.

These are all 5x7 and only the first two are done.  After I have finished all seven I am going to do more work on my original painting of Constable's work.

I've spent many an hour at this bus stop waiting for the #50 bus. But few of those hours were in such fine weather.

 Time for another group photo of some of our favorite artists. Looking...and painting...as good as ever!

Big Fan

 On every trip back into town I take a pic from the car of this, my favorite building.  Depending on how close you get the size of the building on the right changes  Thus my image is distorted  and it should be much smaller  

Two croppings

Took seven croppings from the image of  the last tree I did and was not happy about.  These are the first two.  Both 5x7.

A little ascetic


 

Opinions needed…I know you have them…

The pink mat is just for Pat....

Ok, compare this crop to the first crop. This one has more tree, less mountains. Actually I like the stormy one but not sure they would go for it…Thanks Elaine foe solving my posting issues!

A lovely day waiting for the #50 bus at the Brown Line stop. Loved this tree against the clear blue sky. I just started but I can see I need to up the color saturation to match the actual experience.

I would be absent on October 11 due to a meeting of my accounting association at the same time in Niles. I would also like to share the start of my painting of our housekeeper who tonight flew home forever after 2 decades in Chicago.I could not express how deep the sadness cuts my heart!
