Summer's End

I took a break from producing the Tier 3 perks of my crowd funding initiative, which I have decided to launch in the spring of next year; there are too many events going on between now and December.

Perhaps it is the time of year, but lately I have been thinking about the colors of events in time. This paintings a visual poem about summer's passing into autumn, the green giving way to shades of gold and rust and the hues in between.


The painting had a trying start: I attempted using an abstract drawing I composed three years ago as my subject: I'll never do that again! I plan on having at least one other painting completed in time for my 15 November Studio Exhibition, one of which I will raffle off.

IndieGoGo Tier 3 Perk

Made tremendous progress on Saturday 27 September on the Tier 3 perks for my IndieGoGo crowd funding project thanks to 선도 and 영화... 감사합니다! Our subject (one of my favorites) are the urban canyons of my neighborhood Hannam-dong, We're taking the landscape and distributing it over 12 16 cm x 16 cm canvases which will be painted using my mixed-media technique.

On Saturday, we managed to draw and paint all but two. The next step will be to identify the areas were the textures will be built up prior to the oil paint layer.

Tomorrow is a day off from work to celebrate "Hangul Proclamation Day; plan on getting past the textural enhancements process with all 12 canvas. I would like to use the following week to add the oil and interference layers.

Not sure what subject I am gong to use for the Tier 4 image, which will be nine 16 cm x 20 cm canvases.  I am leaning to something more presentational, but I might produce another urban landscape; chime in at any time. Suggestions are always welcome here!
