What Brought About this Painting?

The title of this painting comes from a quote by Gary Snyder

"Streams and mountains never stay the same."

Always changing in every way. The light that day, the rain that falls, the creatures that visit, the time of year, the color of the leaves and where the leaves are. Everything changes, nothing remains the same.

Landscapes are, for me at least, very relaxing to paint. Maybe to look at too, what do you think? 

Kind of makes me want to take off my shoes and roll up my pants legs and step into the water and wiggle my toes. Then look for any of the crawfish or minnow - any of the stream's wild life.

A tad bit of glare on the right side of the image when I took the photo of the painting. UGH, still learning how to fix that in PhotoShop.

To me and for me at least, all paintings start out pretty ugly getting the base layers in so occasionally I will get several layers in at first before I post. Apparently not this time though...

Post 93: A Painting In Progress: Going for a Walk with Grandpa

Painting in Progress: Going for a Walk with Grandpa

From my previous post, I do not claim to be a painter of humans (certainly not at this time anyway). But I could not resist trying to get a distant person(s) in a painting needed to be in this painting idea.

Painting in Progress Images…

This is a tentative title for this painting, as I have a thought as to where I want to go with it. "You know the saying, the best laid plan of mice and men..." but I hope to have an image of a grandpa walking with his grandchild(ren) .. through a forest path. Something like that.

It amazes me how gosh darn ugly (my) acrylic paintings start out! The base coat is just trying to get some color down over the gesso. I have seen videos where an artist just starts laying down color and you immediately know where he or she is going and it looks great at the first few strokes. When I grow up as a painter, that's what I'd like to be able to do.

Does anyone have a great story in remembering their Grandpa? I had a GREAT Grandpa, well you know, a fantastic Grandpa (everyone has a great-grandpa) and I have plenty of cousins that would agree to how funny and great our Grandpop was (also known as Pop-Pop). 

Our Grandmother was too, but Grandpop was the one with the big glorious sense of humor. And the most fantastic giggle. Yep, Grandpop was a giggler. Usually when he was trying to get a rise out of Grandma.

Looks like some Birch trees grew in there. <- That said in my imitation Bob Ross voice.

See! Grandpop showed up in the painting! Just took awhile because the grandchild was doodling along...
