I applied a second coat of blue, then I added the burnt umber. a little more to come.

Years ago I bought some water solubable oil paint, and I’m finally trying it out. The parts where I made a wash with water didn’t grab the way I was hoping. I’m sure I’ll figure it out the more I use it. This is the first layer. I’ve applied a second coat and used white as well, and established greater values. The next step is applying a layer of Burnt Umber. (photos forthcoming)
When we separate music from life what we get is art (a compendium of masterpieces). With contemporary music, when it is actually contemporary, we have no time to make that separation (which protect us from living), and so contemporary music is not so much art as it is life and any one making it no sooner finished one of it than he begins making another just as people keep on washing dishes, brushing teeth, getting sleepy, and so on. —from “Composition as Process”, Silence (1961) by John Cage.
This painting is the same size as the previous post. In this one, I used Old Holland Sepia Extra.
In this painting, I used Old Holland Warm Sepia, Mars Black and Titanium White. it is 6.6 X 10.5 or something like that. it is 1:1.618 and 72 sq. inches in area.
This is one of my favorites of my recent paintings. it is just some cut up sections from an aluminum foil cardboard roll. It is 9:16 72 sq. inches in area and like the others oil on 300 lb. paper.
This paintings of some CMU’s has a ratio of 1:1.4142 and is an oil on 300 lb. hot press paper.
A recent painting of a “ditch” from a model I built. it is 9:16 and 72sq inches in area. oil on 300 lb. Arches hot press. 2011
