I did two acrylics today too- not sure if either is done.  Both will take some time to dry.

My Father’s Day present. My kids took me for a day where I could paint plein air, which I’ve never done before. I wanted to paint @ Morrow Mountain but the storm damage was bad (like a hurricane) and the park was closed. Instead, we drove down to Wagram and painted the Lumber River.

I’m tired, I’m covered in paint, I got fajitas in my belly, and my girls are right here. Best. Father’s. Day. Ever.

Drawing, 3/23/2009.

 

The poem on the right reads in English:

 

August

Morning sun, Lightning! Thunder!

Wind, rain, death.

 

This came to me in Japanese, which is weird because I know almost no Japanese. I really can’t explain that.

Still Life by Sam Taylor-Wood

I spent the day with my kids at the North Carolina Museum of Art.  They had (among other things) a special exhibition of still life paintings from Cezanne, Renoir, O’Keefe, etc.  A *lot* of paintings of fruit bowls and baskets.  

Toward the end of the exhibition there was a monitor playing this film.  After viewing it (twice) we went backwards and looked at all those other fruit bowls again.  As you might expect, the film had a dramatic effect on how I saw the other paintings.
