I know I have been lacking, lazy, not focused, and not keeping the promise to myself. I can blame the weather, the situation in Israel, my writing abilities, not knowing what to say, well not philosophical enough, whatever. So decided it's about time.
I have been working, just finished another course with Melinda Cootsona. She is a marvelous teacher. I guess you can label me a "groupy". She is a master of color and the figure.
This course was through Kara Bullock's art school.
Color: Intention to use a limited neutral palette. Looking at shapes!
Used a recent photo from my granddaughter sent from Thailand. I actually love neutrals, always have a pile of med-grey to mix into almost all my colors. Found that my use here helped me set the mood. A many layered painting.

PS I switched the projects. Expressive color was first. Chose the easier path, neutrals. Will follow soon.

See AllI am taking a 6 week course with Sara Post . First time with Zoom! Don't like Zoom much, camera shy, long story, but it's great being...
Hi Carol, I love that you started with the neutral piece -- I started with the expressive color and haven't yet made it to the neutral which is my favorite too. Love mixing neutrals by combining brights and whites, too. Best regards to you and your family. Diana

ציור מדהים סבתא!
רואים בוא את השילוב של המופשט והמחשבות שלך!
Carol! So happy to see new work of yours, and what a stunning masterful piece "Dreaming" is! Neutrals are balanced, contrasts are effective, measured bits of red/orange pop without dominating, texture provides depth and sensory information, details are deftly suggested, composition pulls me in immediately and holds me. Wow.
איזה יופי של ציור. הנינוחות והשקט של ליאורי יושבת מול הים עוברת דרך התנועה שהבאת לידי ביטוי בציור. נהדר!!!והיכולת שלך להמשיך ללמוד ולהתפתח- מדהימה. אוהבת אותך מאוד
