Stape!




Well here you go pilgrim, see what I learned!
One of the blog sites I enjoy reading,(and viewing)
is Stapleton Kearns. Lately he's been explaining color,
useing music as a comparative.
Color strokes are notes~
I was moved to give it a try. The sun was picking up
a glare, but here it is, fresh as can be.
2.5 hrs. oils on gesso'd board. 6"x8"
I shot the non glare in the studio, but the color seems
washed out. I got a learning curve folks!
It just felt good to paint, Thanks Stape!

Hear the colors are there and also the will to paint to, you remember me that I am going late, but these later times something is holding me back, I should do some soul searching, and starting to throw some paint in my empty canvas and take you as example, good going Bill.
