#382 Edward Hopper
Larger Image.
I am looking at a lot of paintings & painters so they are appearing here. Not in their style but mine. This one is copied from his self portrait. The main thing on my mind as I did this and also the next ones I am posting tonight is not art but technique, learning to use Corel X.
I have liked Hopper for a long time. Ever since I was given a calendar about 20 years ago of his work. My psychotherapy rooms are in a very Hopper like building.

#380 Vivace

Posting late, did this a couple of weeks ago at one of my favourite cafes. It is one of a project of cafe drawings. The earlier ones took me a lot longer, I am getting sketchier & more in the moment with them, but that does not mean I am happy! One of the “Categories” that will remain I think, with many more to do. I have a lot of cafes to visit yet!
What is the point of these?
Life.
Cafes are where I see life and where in a position to draw.
A category that will remain? Yes – some will go. I am simplifying that long list.
Another new development is the link above to the “Larger Image”. (Open it in a new tab or use the back button to get back to the blog.)

I have not posted sketches for a while. I have some stored up, not all that pleased with them, but I have been learning a lot. Learning to use Corel Painter X, it is quite hard but I love mastering little things one step at a time.
But that is not the main thing I am getting from this pause. I am looking at what I am doing.
I am all over the place.
On the one hand that is a challenge; get focussed, narrow down, build on what I have, sort, select and deepen themes.
On the other hand it is just right. I am all over the place. Not really a Kiwi, not really an Australian, not really Dutch. And I have just given up a psychological writing focus (that was a bit messy but needed attention) for this art project. Thousand Sketches is throwing everything I am doing into turmoil. On many levels I am all over the place. I am going all over the place too: Sydney, San Francisco, New York. That means there is congruity and authenticity and the project is working as a mirror. Just as it should.
Simply keep sketching. All over the place. No judgment, no criticism, just keep going. Don’t worry. Trust.
Diversity, eclecticism and surprises are OK.
Next step: Post up the doodles etc from the last week or two. Then I’ll write some more.
I also have some podcasts from Lenswork Publishing I want to link to, they have been quite inspiring.
I always like seeing who gets this prize. Have been interested since the controversies in my childhood around the expressionist shift. One reason I am looking is that I will be in Sydney very soon & I will go and see these exhibitions.
The winner uses oil paint & wax.
John Beard’s winning painting follows. Continue reading “Archibald prize”

#378 Blind
Click for larger image.
This is Polyphemus the cyclops? blinded by Odysseus, the reference is from an image on Wikipedia I was just doodling but with this one I have a sense of resonance – simply that this is an odyssey, to do these sketches, and they do take me places.
The blindness is getting to me. I have two dream posts (see category) one is called “blind” and another is similar, and is calling for glasses. What is that? I would love to have more clarity, certainty, solidity!
