Nearing the end of Fall...

  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: "Ai vis lo lop" - In Extremo
  • Eating: Reese's cups
Yeah, I just realized how out of date my journal was. Soooo many things going on, including two more large-scale paintings before the end of the semester.

I finally have a website in the works. I know very little about web development, so at the present time my website is very ugly, but at least it's functional. It isn't up online just yet either. I'm still shopping around for a domain name. When I do get it up and running finally, I'll post an update and link to it here.

PS--I misspelled 'challenge'! That irks me to no end!

I love your somber angels, but I must confess I was surprised and saddened that you haven't done any illustration of Poe's "Ulalume"! Your very user name would seem to demand it, and you are uniquely gifted to show us poor Psyche with her wings sorrowfully trailing in the dust! I know you're probably busy, but I expect and challange you to do this at some point in the near future!...Happy Halloween!

Thanks for your kind words and for the inspiration. I've wanted to do some Poe illustrations for awhile, but so far I haven't been able to consolidate any of the ideas floating around in my head and realize them. I do really like that image of Psyche, though, and I want to work it into a painting somehow.
Again, thank you. :)

You're welcome! As for those ideas floating in your head, always choose the one that haunts you the most, and go with your strengths; your angels are very good, so I'm sure that you will do Psyche justice! Keep up the good work!

Inhale!

Pass out from the toxic fumes!

:giggle:

I'm getting more accustomed to it now. I like the richness of color. I've noticed that acrylic gets kind of dull and plasticky as it dries, whereas oil maintains its lushness.

There is not a single acrylic painting in the Louvre...or the Musee D'Orsay.

My old acrylic teachers used to say: "Acrylic is great! When it is dry, you can eat off it!"

Ah, then I will be the first to put acrylic paintings there! :p
Acrylic hasn't been around very long either, so I guess it's not that surprising. Give it another 300 years. ;)

Hmm, though it might be ill-advised to eat off something with a toxic pigment in it - say, Flake White for example. That seems like a good way to get lead poisoning. ;P

Sanity? What's that? Is that a type of fruit or something?
