Boston’s Rowse Wharf | BEAR STAR STUDIOS stephanie n miksis @ work
http://blog.snmiksis.com/archives/1752
Boston’s Rowse Wharf. Posted in alla prima. I made another trip into Boston. Expect more visits between now and Memorial Day). I found a shady place to sit. Since i haven’t set up my umbrella yet. Painting in full sun can make a painting too dark…. And both palette and painting need to be in the same light while working. So the colors don’t get skewed). I found a place with a nice view. And i liked the boats in the foreground. I was reminded of the Charles Barsotti cartoon. They moved my boat! Stephanie ...

Inspired to Paint Boston. I had such a great time in Vermont. In spite of the cold… wind… sleet… snow…. 8230;oh you know: WINTER! That i went into Boston on friday. And had a positive experience painting. That’s a big deal, really : -). Since i’m not expecting a fully successful painting at this point. So it’s all about process and the overall enjoyment. Boston took on new possibilities for me. And now i really look forward to trying again. Still tweaking the equipment, of course. Tags: on the easel.

Let the Games Begin! 8216;s workshop in Provincetown, MA. We started with the famous block studies. It’s the color version of practicing scales in music. They look simple – but hard work. And i have a ways to go to really “get it”. I’m already eager to go home,. Chop and paint blocks,. And continue to practice in my backyard! Good thing it isn’t scales…. With my lack of musical talent. I’d only succeed in annoying the neighbors. At any rate, it feels good to be back playing with paint! Heading Home →.

River Bend Farm Visitor Center Sketch. Acrylic, 12×9). Taking a break from painting in Boston. I dropped by the River Bend Farm Visitor’s Center. For the Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State Park. It was a glorious spring day! My friend and i set up quickly. And wouldn’t you know. In changing paintboxes i forgot my tripod attachment! It’s a good thing my chair was in my vehicle. And i could comfortably put my paintbox on my lap. I think that’s why i do it…. So Much to Paint in Boston.

Oil, 6×6). Pet portraits are always a pleasure for me. I generally prefer to paint from life. But with portraits – both people and pet! And the best part of it? The photos don’t have to be very good!

Painting in Boston Public Garden – Red Tree | BEAR STAR STUDIOS stephanie n miksis @ work
http://blog.snmiksis.com/archives/1777
Painting in Boston Public Garden – Red Tree. I made several excursions to the Boston Public Garden this spring. In some very cold weather at first. Then the weather warmed up but the winds kicked up too. Mother nature always wants in on the act of creating i guess. This is my setup after having been pelted by petals. This small sketch was the inspiration for this painting. Acrylic, 11×14) $125. And here is how i got to the finish. All it takes is time and effort ;). Step 2 – WAHOO! Tags: on the wall.
