<span style="font-size: large;">Two of my latest paintings: New idea: Paint one conventional painting and one with my own imagination. Thus, everyone could be happy. As I have a few collectors who love the conventional paintings of local scenery and then, a lot of friends who just want me to paint my own wild and colorful stuff.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The canvases are the same size and took about as long to paint.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Realism is a challenge and maybe some of my art spirit shines through; maybe not; for the beach camping painting.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next I may try the same scene in two ways. To render it realistically and to create it with imagination. </span>Shelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04727215642890011583noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705287931477782582.post-19044340263318208382013-03-08T05:49:00.000-08:002013-03-08T05:51:34.228-08:00A Stolen Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I always called them stolen days: those days that are wonderful; where you somehow end up having an exceptional day; often outside; often with a good friend.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This was one of those days. The weather was exquisitely beautiful. After some rain the valley greens.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy land down in what is called the river bottom. There is a river and it is running through a large <span style="font-size: large;">valley</span>. Often and for months it is dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is an abandoned orchard of orange trees and we picked a bag of them to make sweet juice.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There was hardly a soul down there until we were leaving and then the horses started up the trail.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My son sleeps. I took his bed which is the other couch in the living room. He found a way to sleep on the leather couch and I had to get a shot of him and his original Steve Barton painting.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He met Steve awhile back when they both were working in a gallery and just starting out. Steve came from some other state maybe Iowa? and has become a highly successful artist, selling all over the world. He invented the wavy frame and many of his prints are framed in those. He captures that tropical fantasy so well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My son has applied his own considerable talent to running a business and designing mosaic table tops.</span><br />
