Studio 365: Day 75

Day 75
 
For today’s Studio 365 I thought I would feature the wall from Day 74. The image was created by adding plaster to the acrylic paint and then modelling it on the paper using sandpaper, small chisels and a little imagination.

Here are a three other works using the same process.

Wall iii

For today’s Weekly Photo Challenge Cheri asks us to, “Share an image of a wall that reveals something about a place, people, or you.”

This wall in my studio will be familiar to those of you who follow Studio 365, which I started on my blog on the 1st of January this year with the goal of posting every day throughout the year.

If you would like to see the wall in more detail I invite you to visit today’s Studio 365 where I have posted a slide show of many of the wall’s images for Day 72.

Only 293 days to go!

Studio 365: Day 72

Day 72

For today’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall, I posted this photograph in response to Cheri asking us to Share an image of a wall that reveals something about a place, people, or you. .

For Studio 365: Day 72 I thought I would add a slide show of the wall’s somewhat eclectic content for those who might be interested. It includes photos of places like Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, St. Antimo, Tuscany, paintings and photographs of mine that may be familiar to some of you, and a special treasure, a painting by my daughter. The pieces keep changing of course but the gallery makes for a great record of a moment in time. I hope you enjoy it.

After Day 70 featured The Blue Danube Waltz, blue continues to be the theme for Day 71.

Blue Monk

I drew this cartoon when I was still a schoolboy in the early sixties after listening to Thelonius Monk playing Blue Monk for the first time. If you have a few minutes listen to this great Jazz classic from a 1963 recording of the Thelonius Monk Quartet and available on Revolver Music’s Thelonius Monk, Volume 2.  It remains one of my favourite pieces of Jazz to this day.

Day 71 ii

Somehow I feel that today’s blue palette is a good match for the jazz. What do you think?

Studio 365: Day 70

Using yesterday’s palette, here’s how I removed the acrylic paint today from the white ceramic tile I use as my palette, so that it’s pristine and ready for action tomorrow.
