Today was a little different because the space we regularly meet at was not available, so instead we informally met at Wicked Grounds cafe. It was just Jo and I, but I really liked the change in scenery.  My work in progress.  Jo's work in progress

We had two male models, one whose poses were very outstretched and dynamic. Not the greatest drawings today, but still enjoyable nonetheless.   I don't like this one.  I rather like this one.  This was great to draw.  I don't like this one.  I want to work on this a bit more, because it has a lot of potential.  I really don't like this one.  I dislike the head on this. This one turned out much better than the last hand painting. I don't love it, but at least it's a big improvement.  This turned out muddy, over-mixed, and too contrasty. Oh well.  Spent the day with an artist friend at the de Young Museum. We visited the painter's show, that seemed like Pop Art before it was a thing. Interesting, but didn't move me. It felt like graphic design work. One of the best things was the new lobby installation by Leonardo Drew.      Inside the James Turrell structure. Only recently have I begun to love his experiential work.  A beautiful collage in the underwhelming 1960's art show. My friend had a wall sized vanity mirror break on him, so I picked it up from his house. It weighed close to 60 lbs. and ended up with a really sore back. The shards are especially thick, so not sure how useful it will be. I also painted a river rock for my scrap paper and straightened the studio a bit.  The most ridiculous moving attempt.   Sometimes when in your art studio, you just need to spend time thinking. During these times, I'll make non-important things! Occasionally, I like to peruse through art magazines and see what's going on in the "art world". Found a few artists I want to research more.  I absolutely love this collage!  Carol Rama Le tagliole (The Traps), 1966 red fox hide and enamel on canvas Poor little fox. I guess if you're going to be immortal, it's nice to be beautiful.  So creepy that I couldn't help but be intrigued.  Speaking of creepy...  I'm quite familiar with Penny's work, but want to see his recent work.     I seem to be very prolific lately.  I'm really happy with this painting.  |
