Edward Hopper

#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.

Vivace

#380 Vivace
Larger Image.

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.)

Archibald prize

Finalists here

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”
