Goldenrod


Goldenrod, acrylic, 6x8
$100, unframed
Something colorful and fun to chase away the gray weather we've been having. I'd like to mention here the passing of a wonderful artists, a true modern master, Charles Sovek. I had the very good fortune of studying with him in 2005 and found great encouragement and inspiration. His books are filled with excellent instruction and insight. His legacy is one of vibrant, colorful paintings he has truly left the world a more beautiful and better place.

In Memory of Charles Sovek

When Earths Last Picture is Painted

When Earth's last picture is painted
And the tubes are twisted and dried
When the oldest colors have faded
And the youngest critic has died
We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it
Lie down for an aeon or two
'Till the Master of all good workmen
Shall put us to work anew
And those that were good shall be happy
They'll sit in a golden chair
They'll splash at a ten league canvas
With brushes of comet's hair
They'll find real saints to draw from Magdalene, Peter, and Paul
They'll work for an age at a sitting
And never be tired at all.
And only the Master shall praise us.
And only the Master shall blame.
And no one will work for the money.
No one will work for the fame.
But each for the joy of the working,
And each, in his separate star,
Will draw the thing as he sees it.
For the God of things as they are!

We're in a terrible weather pattern, lots of clouds and then the sun breks through, and just when you get outside the clouds return! Mother Nature's having some fun with us! The bird blind is a wooden shelter constructed i the marsh with viewing windows so you cn observe the birds, waterfowl and wildlife unnoticed, a very cool place to set up and paint! The painting reflects the gray-ness of the day and the textures of the marsh vegitation. Enjoy!

Edge of he Woods

Edge of the Woods Daily Impressionist Painting

SOLD
Edge of the Woods Daily Impressionist Painting, painting by Jan Blencowe

About This Painting:
Summer wildflowers (aka weeds LOL) make a wonderful subject and bring color and textural interest to all the green at the edge of the woods. You may have noticed that the dates of my paintings are out of sync with the www.dailypainters.com site, that's because my laptop which runs Vista won't upload the Paypal "Buy it Now" button properly and I've been trying, (to no avail), to fix that. So if I upload my button on the PC I'm fine but if I use the laptop I have to direct folks to my gallery at Daily Painters which has a "Buy it Now" button. The only problem for me is that my kids are always using the PC !! In any case you can always just send me an e-mail if you'd like to purchase a painting. Thanks for your patience.
