Post 187: Let's Go See the Hobbits

Painting Name: Let's Go See the Hobbits

I don't know about you but I have always been a "Hobbit", "Lord of the Rings", JRR Tolkien fan. One of my goals as an artist, is to paint a variety of movie themed paintings, making a Hobbit hole, a necessity on canvas.

What Brought About this Painting?

My first movie themed painting was the Ruby Slippers from the Wizard of Oz (SOLD). The second was a scene from "Singing in the Rain". So, this third one is is Bilbo and Frodo's house in the Shire, also known as a Hobbit hole. If you have seen the movies or read the books, you KNOW what the Shire is, and who the Hobbits are.

Post 164: Singing in the Rain, 8x10 Acrylic on Canvas

Painting Name: Singing in the Rain

Some of my favorite movies have always been the old classics, even the musicals with all the dancing about and breaking into song at the drop of a hat. Gene Kelly in "Singing in the Rain" is one of those.

What Brought About this Painting?

I wanted to paint a series of old movie remembrances and this is the second one, with the first one being Dorothy's Ruby Slippers from the Wizard of Oz. See the post for that painting.

Was there ever anyone as good as Gene Kelly? I think not. He acted, he sang, he danced, he choregraphed and he directed "Singing in the Rain" which also starred Donald O'Conner and Debbie Reynolds. The movie was made in 1952 and IS an American classic in the musical romantic comedy genre.

This painting is a tribute to the iconic scene and dance sequence when he sang in the rain. Nobody like Gene Kelly...

Thursday, July 29, 2021 11:36 AM I don't paint people. I'm trying to remember if I ever painted people. My brush always avoided people. God only knows where this painting of Gene Kelly will end up... Fingers clenched, I mean crossed, here we go...

Thursday, July 29, 2021 2:17 PM This best thing about painting people so far away, the details are sort of go away...

Thursday, July 29, 2021 4:58 PM I'm sure you are all really impressed with my people skills now... (cough, cough).

Thursday, July 29, 2021 9:32 PM I'm thinking I am done with Gene Kelly.

Because, you know, it's ALWAYS about the shoes.

A favorite in my family is the movie, "The Wizard of Oz". And those shoes are an iconic emblem that easily identifies that movie.
