A.I. Overload

This is how I feel at the moment. To much tech. What is real anymore? I can't believe anything I see online.  Comment if you feel the same way.

 

Homemade Frames

 I had some time in the shop and decided to make some frames for some small paintings.  I used some oak pallet wood I had laying around.  This is the first time I made a frame, I did not want to use good wood, but I think it turned out well.  

Having a full workshop with alot of woodworking tools helps this process.  I made 3 duds before I made one good frame.  Learning process, I guess.  Now I know where to measure.

I have a really good miter saw that cuts angles well and is easy to set up.  It made the process easier.

I think I will be in the shop making frames for a while until I am proficiant.  

Farm Field Oil Painting

Yet another Temu Oil paint painting.  

 

Water Pitcher Oil Painting

I was feeling creative Saturday so I painted this water pitcher.  It is on canvas pad, one coat of gesso. I am trying to come up with still life compositions that use complimentary colors. I am also trying to get back in the swing of painting regularly.  My PTSD is really bothering me lately.  

I have another painting I am working on, just waithing for the first layer to tack up a little.  I don't want to make mud.  I hope to post it soon.  

 

Maries 1919 oil paint Review

I bought the basic oil paint set from Temu.  The Maries 1919 basic set, it has the primaries and black and white.  Right off the bat I liked the thickness of the paint.  It also had a good pigment load.  The amout of paint per tube is very substantial. I have no complaints and will buy other colors.  For under $20 you cant beat it.

This was my first painting.  I was getting comfortable with the paint.

This was my next painting.  

 

Diego Rivera Master Copy Altered.

This is the second painting in the Diego Rivera Master Copy Series.  I really enjoy painting them.  I hope I did it justice.  Enjoy.

 

Diego Rivera Master Copy with a twist

I took a Diego Rivera painting and painted my friends face on it.  He enjoyed the painting very much.  Now I am painting another of Diego's paintings for a different coworker.  This has been a fun project.  I will post the other painting when I am done.
