Painting holiday in the Morvan, day 3: Abstracted still life painting in combination with mixed media techniques (as heavy rain made outdoor painting impossible)

Mixed media painting based on a composition study of a jug standing on the table as described in the previous post.

Another version of "Black and Gold". This is the part I like best, so I'm only going to post this. I put a lot of effects on the photo, of course. View On Black

Very obscurely related to a photo of storm clouds, trees, and a field. Made with the digital chalk tool in ArtRage, set so that every dot matched the color at that point in the underlying photo. However, each big dot was only one color and replaced many much smaller pixels of a variety of colors. There was some small amount of control over where to place each dot and which color it would select, but the overall effect seemed as locked in as automatic paint effects in photo editors.This result strikes me as more than a little daft (another meaning of "dotty") and not an experiment worth repeating.

A variation of an earlier focus.

On the night of July 3, 2022 I sat in my daughters front yard that overlooks the city of Dubuque, Iowa. The fireworks are shot over the Mississippi River at quite a distance from where we were watching them being fired up into the night sky. I used many settings on my camera, sports, landscape, creative auto. etc. I got some amazing images that make many of the fireworks look abstract and not your usual fireworks display.

Abstracted view of the spectacular fall colours at Glen Affric, Scotland.

again made this one from parts of a suit of Armour...more abstracted & gave me the idea of finding this strange gizmo in the sand perhaps....could really be anything...

thanks for looking...best bigger...hope you have a great Easter Weekend

A product of the skillful sculptural workshops that developed in the early years of the Greek colony at Corcyra, the lion of "Menekrates" once watched over a tomb in the ancient cemetery, now located a short distance south of Kerkyra (Corfu) town and the archaeological museum. The archaic statue is usually dated in the late 7th century, which makes it the oldest surviving stone sculpture from Kerkyra, although it is difficult to date precisely because of the subject and its dependency on older, non-Greek models.

It represents an important waypoint in the development of monumental sculpture, which was burgeoning in the latter 7th century throughout the Greek world as sculptors attempted to render new subjects at ever-grander scales. The innovation here comes not only with the fastidious polish and partially abstracted design (the sculptor had probably never seen a real lion up close), but also with the virtuoso workmanship exhibited underneath the head, which has been fully separated from the base and dressed to the same level of polish as the rest. The frontal view also emphasizes the reduction of natural forms to geometric abstraction, in particular the spiraling folds encircling the nostrils which are nearly unrecognizable (they are meant to represent the folds around that appear during a snarl).

The stylized representation of the lion is based on Assyrian and Hittite depictions of lions from the 8th and 7th centuries BC, suggesting that the sculptors at Corcyra got their start by studying the crafts of the Near East, or were themselves artisans who had emigrated to Greece from these regions. (Both models are attested elsewhere in archaic Greece, though no information about the sculptors from Corcyra has survived.) The composition recalls those found in portable kits of bronze weights shaped like lions that were in circulation in Mesopotamia during this era, one of which might easily have made its way to Corcyra. The furrowing of the lion's muzzle is particularly close to late Assyrian examples, although this Greek version is proportioned differently and more heavily relies on pure geometric forms.

The lion is associated with the name "Menekrates" inscribed on a tomb nearby where it was found in the mid-19th century, but it came from a different, unknown tomb monument.

I enjoy how rippling water can turn an image abstract.

One of a photo collection taken at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Ariznoa. They have an amazing collection, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a great day there with the whole family. The kids love it… and so do the grown-ups. I had not been since I was a child… anyway. I hope you enjoy the image.
