When I see Blue~Don't take offense

[Mandolinrain]

When I see Blue, I may visualize it totally different than you do

Maybe a little lighter~

Or Darker

When I write a blog,

some people may see parts of my story that 'feel' different to them~

Than it does to me....or you.

Thats all good.

It's okay

I've  my own way to interpret my thoughts and anyones words.

As we all do.

Together though,

With all our different colors-shapes-thoughts~

We have EX

While our journeys may look different to each of us

We each find the way that works for us

As well as our words

Goodnight my friends-You are all special to me and I am grateful for all of the different personalities we have.

I love variety in a garden~

And different shades of Blue

I see light and shadow mostly - not in so much color at all, at all.  When I draw, I draw the play of light and shadow.  I love folds, and gnarled trees and roots, and the play of light on leaves.

We each view the world from our own perspective, coming from our experience and time.

Mine's mostly black, white and gray - yours is blues - and what a wonderful painting we can make together.

We ALL can make our painting together - with our unique and many-colored experiences.

Cool - isn't that?

In my artistic days, hope they come back, I worked with dark, light and all shades of grey in between.  Then I added one little object of colors.  I did a woman looking at a butterfly for my mother and the only thing with color are the butterfly’s wings.  You’d think shadow would be easy but it has to be very precise for physical curve accentuation.  My fav thing to draw were nude women.  Just a gigprgeous subject to me.  Some were pencil and most were inks.  Would make an interesting gallery with the artists here.  Just think of the smoke from a cigarette.  Constantly flowing and changing.  That would take imagination as you can’t control it as reference.  After decades I can see it.

I would love so see some of your work. Ink is a medium I never tried, sounds interesting  I love painting nudes too. I have done any in a long time....I get to cold so I find I need to wear clothes when I paint now. HAHAHAHA..

No, seriously, I was funning ya.....Nudes are beautiful. I have not much experience painting nudes but the more I practice doing people the more I want to try. I am joining an Art Club thats sometimes paints live models /Nude.

I see we hav e a comedian in our midst.  Do you use oil Mandolinrain?  Never did that.   The clean up looked massive.  Art Club sounds cool.  Wonder how they find the subjects to paint or draw?  Wouldn’t be easy holding a pose for extended periods and I would guess rather boring.  I took anatomy in college so I could draw a human if needed.  Sometimes I used ads for the pose.

[Mandolinrain]

Yes I use Oils, but mostly Acrylics. The clean up is easier than you think and I can direct you on that area for easy peasy way if your ever interested.

I love the idea of using Adds, I may need to try that. I have a friend who is an exceptional artist who uses anyones face and turns them into whatever she wants, very creative.

Oh trees and narly things are so fun to paint. 

Cool indeed. When we all pull together we can really make a beautiful work of Art
