24"x96" PEDERNAL - WORK IN PROGRESS (THE GLAZES)

8/23/11 - PEDERNAL - 24"x96" Original Oil on Belgian Linen.  Work in Progress - The Glazes.  This is a diptych - the canvases are put together now so that I can have uniform colors in the glazes between the two canvases.  I previously said I would work on these canvases separately and discovered that is not an option.  Will work with both canvases on the easel and then I can bounce the colors back and forth between the canvases for a more uniform color quality.  DC

      "Forward and backward I have gone, and for me it has been an immense journey..... Perhaps there is no meaning in it at all, the thought went on inside me, save that of the journey itself, so far as men can see.  It has altered with the chances of life, and the chances brought us here; but it was a journey -- long, perhaps -- but a good journey under a pleasant sun.  Do not look for the purpose.  Loren Eiseley,  Naturalist - THE IMMENSE JOURNEY.

ANNOUNCING "ON THE ROAD" (IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO) - A MOVEABLE FEAST!

 

5/18/11 --  Have been traveling back roads here in northern New Mexico seeing places I've not seen (even after 44 years in a place one can be surprised!) - all new material for my paintings -- a wonderful new beginning.  With the completion of "ABIQUIU DREAMING" (featured below) I have decided to begin a series of 30 new paintings entitled "ON THE ROAD".  Am giving myself until next February to complete the series.  In the meantime, stay tuned.....I will journal my process on this blog.  If you would like to receive e.mail updates, feel free to subscribe.  Stay tuned!  DC
