Standing Room Only

I enjoy the effects of seeing things through glass. The only trouble is ... shift a half millimeter to the left or right and everything changes. But, painting loosely gives me a bit of leeway. ; )

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Loose Bottles"

Loose Bottles

I woke up the other morning with a vision. I had an exact vision of at least part of a painting ... so I ran to my studio and painted this. It wasn't exactly what I saw, but it made me realize something. I like painting loosely and my still lifes before had gotten a bit ... stiff. To be honest, I gave myself permission to paint anything BUT still lifes for a while, but it seems I can't stay away. My plan is to continue to do a mix of things so I remain sane for a good long while.

Old Trippers

I found these when I was wandering around Eugene recently. There are ... ummm ... quite a few old VW's here. It's kind of a funky place. The front one reminds me of the one my parents had when I was a kid. We used to spend about a month every other summer touring around the US in our blue van. Great memories! 
 
I left a few people off my list yesterday. You can see them on my blog.

Market Coffee Break

This is a little scene I captured at Eugene's Saturday Market recently. This guy was enjoying his coffee and his slice of sunlight on this brisk morning. And on my blog is the promised compiled list of loose painters. You guys sent me a ton and I narrowed it down to just those who spoke to me personally, at this moment. I got A LOT of inspiration from these folks already, will surely get more, and I thoroughly appreciate the recommendations. I am happy to say I believe my funk/block/whatever is done with. For now. I am excited about painting again. Honestly excited, and that is a good feeling!

At Home on Saturday

I spent half the day looking through blogs and websites of all the totally awesome loose house painters you guys suggested!! And am completely inspired. For some reason I felt my options were somewhat limited, but seeing all the great stuff these other people have done gives me all kinds of ideas. Tomorrow I am going to put together a list of my favorites to share since not all were left as comments. Meanwhile, thank you all SO much!!!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Up the Walk"

Up the Walk

I was really captivated by the walk up to this relatively plain and unkempt house. I am finding painting this kind of stuff not quite the same as still life (duh), and so I am being challenged, which is probably exactly what I am needing right now. So I am researching other artists who paint houses and architecture. One of my favorites is Colin Page. If anyone has any other suggestions of good, loose painters (that sounds funny - next I'll be hearing from Colin's wife...) I would love to hear them. Thanks!

Blue Shadows

The sun came out the other day after months of mostly overcast and rain, so I grabbed my camera and wandered around taking pictures. I think I am going to make this a regular thing. I am going to explore with an open mind and see what jumps out at me.

I had some issues with my email yesterday and might have lost a few. If I don't respond to something important, please email me again. Thanks!
