Alan Spring 4-2026

 Changed the background of my little bathroom still life to bring out the yellow of the flowers per instructions from Elaine. 


Did a little more work on my trading card sunset on Yupo.  I might fix that little bleed of yellow in the middle but I kinda like it  



I think I’m done with this downtown New Buffalo painting. It’s on rough paper. While it’s okay, and I like certain aspects of it, it does not give me joy. I might try it again with a more free flowing style. 


This is the beginning of a still life at one of my friend’s house. Everybody brings a bottle of booze and sets it on the table top. Then we drink. The top right is a painting of Greeta’s. I don’t think that I’m going to paint all the labels as I am more interested in painting the glass-which there is a lot of.   Done with Yupo.

  1. I love those bottles at the bottom. Don't waste time with the labels—glass on Yupo is very interesting. I also really like the blue ceramic vase; that highlight is the star of the painting. There's something about the New Buffalo painting that feels like it belongs on a souvenir postcard. It shows off the street so nicely. That sunset feels much bigger than ACEO size! Glad you said what size it is.

  2. That little still life is very charming. I just wish the shadow was more interesting, perhaps referencing the vase shape. The New Buffalo painting is also charming. I wonder if the building on the far right needs a side wall. It looks a little like a stage set. What the heck are you guys drinking?! I like the painting within the painting.
