This is a large oil on linen. There's nothing quite like painting on linen. I absolutely loved the small pastel I did en Plein Air so I used it as reference for this large piece. Recreating a piece is no easy feat! And from pastel to oil was a challenge. I like how this resolved itself with subtle differences from the smaller pastel.

So excited to have completed this large oil - it is taken from the pastel painting I did En Plein Air last summer. I like how this turned out - it's very similar yet has evolved into a richer, more dominant piece.<br />

Love using pastels for abstracts. Using landscape objects as reference to begin an abstract piece is totally fun because with abstract painting you are not locked into what is in front of you. You can move things around, change the colors, play with values and create magic!<br />

I was driving around looking for a scene to paint. I drove up a hill and looked around. Nothing really struck me until I turned all the way around and saw the mustard fields below me. I knew I wanted to paint this scene but I also knew it had to be abstract. I wanted to capture the "feeling" of the place. The "soul" of the place. I paused for a while letting the air seep into my skin. The sweet aroma of just-cut alfalfa brought back childhood memories. <br />
<br />
Charcoal in hand, I placed a line, a smudge, a curve. Using the mustard field as my impetus, the place became mine.<br />

Really enjoyed the process with this one. There are many layers of paint and layers of contemplation that went into this. Love the colors and movement. This is a diptych (2 canvases).</div>

This painting began as a plein air piece (see below). Because the composition was lousy and the color was weak, I spent another 4 hours in the studio working on it. As promised, I slapped black paint onto the canvas, all but obliterating most of the design. How fun was that! Woke the next morning to find it was not "all that" and dove in, transforming the composition, scrubbing off much of the middle black area, and recreating a painting, remembering the scene in my head, as I hadn't shot any photos. This is what I ended with. <br />

This painting began as a 1" thumbnail sketch. Loved the movement, the 'intersections' of line and form. Keeping with my theme of "Intersections" I moved color around until it was pleasing and a bit subdued. I think I scrubbed off more paint than I left on the surface, one reason oil painting can be an expensive endeavor.</div>

Love the subtle transitions between areas in lower left and how the dash of blue in the middle pulls everything together.</div>

I am blessed with many. Writing is one of those. Our writer's group, Raven Writers, met last night at the charming home of one of our members.<br /><br />Stories of a cross-country bicycle trip, echoed in a thin journal describe the contemplation of road kill cooked over an open flame to satiate continual hunger; the camaraderie of a recent college grad who rode for Lupus awareness; and the effort to pitch a tent after a grueling climb up a Montana pass.<br /><br />Ideas flowed like the blueberry wine we shared, lighting the spark of inspiration we craved after the drought of summer. Andirondack chairs were soon pulled into a cozy circle as dark enveloped us, only voices visible under a cloud shrouded full moon.<br /><br />I vowed to write more letters as we spoke of how personal they are to give and receive, to keep and reflect, to pass on to friends, family. Who will be first?<br /><br />My mind is overflowing with inspiration, ideas, hope that I barely slept last night. I can hardly wait for the offerings promised for September.</span>Jen Evenhushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18036857219721046369noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112982100015348223.post-91041587957789687822009-07-31T08:27:00.001-07:002013-04-14T22:05:40.415-07:00Unintentional Exposure<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9M9gLXXcxLA4futcdicQdAQoHBCOSs5vFjXSt-nAwI9BKgqNSBkUfboRMLZk444ZxXYCKRO-nY_8l9f43Sx9DiIPI2C7AAvq8kvLP8Dc1p1tZ4Ud6QHXDrAIc1EBEfIjRRITDroRYt1Y/s1600-h/Intersections-UnintendedExposure-web.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364646528933294354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9M9gLXXcxLA4futcdicQdAQoHBCOSs5vFjXSt-nAwI9BKgqNSBkUfboRMLZk444ZxXYCKRO-nY_8l9f43Sx9DiIPI2C7AAvq8kvLP8Dc1p1tZ4Ud6QHXDrAIc1EBEfIjRRITDroRYt1Y/s320/Intersections-UnintendedExposure-web.jpg" style="float: right; height: 320px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 161px;" /></a> Intersections pull my thoughts into a myriad of memories . . . sometimes events, journeys, vacations are jumbled. What about you? I love to go on mindcations - reliving vacations or encounters, as you close your eyes and listen to favorite music . . . alone or with your lover<br />
. . . his/her memories fuel yours . . . and vice versa<br />

Contemplating form excites me, contemplating line - how each line intersects the next producing negative areas in turn creating stories . . . excites me - knowing I am past painting an object excites me because now . . . there are no boundaries. I have stepped over my boundaries. <span style="font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>

My first series is "Intersections" as in roads, but seeking a deeper interpretation, or analogy, for relationships between people, ideas, lines, shapes. The titles give only a slight hint at interpretation so the viewer can more thoroughly immerse themselves in the story. </div>
