For example, the little bowl at the bottom-left, with the bell pepper in it - where the shadow side of the bowl meets the shadow that the bowl is casting, the edge almost disappears. Same with the shadow that the top bell is casting on the plate, where it meets the shadow it's casting on the paper to the right of the plate. Did you notice before I pointed it out? But you read it as an edge, right? Our brain fills in the details even if they are fuzzy in the paint.</div><p></p>Carol Marinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855632528757673268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-63404499792504269042024-03-10T08:15:00.000-07:002024-03-10T08:18:08.707-07:00Oil Painting Supplies<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq8fMAeWNC0ZZQi5Qh4xNJFL-H8bWj1HBM3I3D1X-qIC_xU91AgwXIGlPcLvjx1sJi1j8dlXgYVN_g-KET6opXUgKjEA3VVpb-yWifjLnFlgxFFCZWLRqixwidwUDWNEAx4EFZu0Z9U6zWGGKxfrl_VkBfLhK1ET2O4M26E30uCupx5yGiFDF6GA/s1200/3638_oil_painting_supplies.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq8fMAeWNC0ZZQi5Qh4xNJFL-H8bWj1HBM3I3D1X-qIC_xU91AgwXIGlPcLvjx1sJi1j8dlXgYVN_g-KET6opXUgKjEA3VVpb-yWifjLnFlgxFFCZWLRqixwidwUDWNEAx4EFZu0Z9U6zWGGKxfrl_VkBfLhK1ET2O4M26E30uCupx5yGiFDF6GA/w400-h400/3638_oil_painting_supplies.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/carol-marine/oil-painting-supplies/1111296">Click Here to Buy for $200</a> - 6x6in. - oil on panel</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are a few of my art supplies.

The trick is to see them as abstract shapes, actually, to see the whole thing as <i>interconnected </i>abstract shapes that don't necessarily end where the objects end. Look at the left side of the egg shell - it melds right into the plate. And shadows often bleed into each other, with the edge sometimes disappearing altogether. If I see all this as a series of puzzle pieces, without my brain getting too involved, then I can see what I need to paint. It's taken 25 or so years to get this far, and I'm sure I have much still to learn!</div><p></p>Carol Marinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855632528757673268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-77707590727045404712024-02-28T06:50:00.000-08:002024-02-28T06:51:35.829-08:00Almost<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEithASMLDJWnKbaTNNqvuqcS38zkawZLs8XzZZrwGZFX_uEJpvuaBt2uLfrj6viI_y3eXfg6OZLi4goDGZCHQO7zaoZVt4hIcC2hl0BmkJ8IKpiysQ6ZTHPVJonO_x2LAbm7ulkv91PPlJ4llLJII5Rp1oesiJCzlbsWEZGgpcsY0sq5jX1uR-m7w/s1400/3629_almost.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="996" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEithASMLDJWnKbaTNNqvuqcS38zkawZLs8XzZZrwGZFX_uEJpvuaBt2uLfrj6viI_y3eXfg6OZLi4goDGZCHQO7zaoZVt4hIcC2hl0BmkJ8IKpiysQ6ZTHPVJonO_x2LAbm7ulkv91PPlJ4llLJII5Rp1oesiJCzlbsWEZGgpcsY0sq5jX1uR-m7w/w285-h400/3629_almost.jpg" width="285" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/carol-marine/almost/1109444">Click Here to Buy for $200</a> - 7x5in. - oil on panel</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I found the image for this cat on one of those <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=royalty+free+images&oq=royalty+free+images&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDM0MDNqMGo5qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8">royalty-free sites</a>.

My parents built their own (dome) house, shop, studio, etc. When they wanted a camper van they cut a hole in the top of our VW and built their own pop-up tent on top. My mother had an extensive garden, goats, and chickens, plus still has art projects going at all times. I could go on. And so when I met my husband and he was a maker too, it seemed perfectly normal. But in talking to all my married girl friends, I realize how lucky I am that he's handy. Most days you will find us making: paintings, websites, furniture, curtains, etc. It's an obsession. I love it.</div><p></p>Carol Marinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855632528757673268noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-76710110369523913122024-02-18T08:10:00.000-08:002024-02-18T08:11:38.830-08:00Eggs in Glass<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeYKbNQqHPc6s9QfsNfymhtD37n_hl3OmCY7Tg89uKPuURd-bArHETWqZmn1Z01hDvSz8SybcXJ8_PZ6JCOQknw5qqRjpNo-zQtoPJUn1Gwdi4_AkdjpsISGpO-D8T7Bqa7Va2M_VON_Q9ultBn1p8YN4BtxE9hgYmd_4Ye02eEUuvH4okoHJ2-w/s1200/3622_eggs_in_glass.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeYKbNQqHPc6s9QfsNfymhtD37n_hl3OmCY7Tg89uKPuURd-bArHETWqZmn1Z01hDvSz8SybcXJ8_PZ6JCOQknw5qqRjpNo-zQtoPJUn1Gwdi4_AkdjpsISGpO-D8T7Bqa7Va2M_VON_Q9ultBn1p8YN4BtxE9hgYmd_4Ye02eEUuvH4okoHJ2-w/w400-h400/3622_eggs_in_glass.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/carol-marine/eggs-in-glass/1107828">Click Here to Buy for $200</a> - 6x6in. - oil on panel</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgauzd6LGkXKOi9DcENZjXaLsMLHTXzngXytVyVI-J_0b0omG_IGPtlB9Wbu80qbnjJZ3nZMX0pTWk-pTAe_XP8-pz-kpGVeQNlCcq-iDrTT71SVEbJGZ5tQCyBFKtZv7liCR9XIgbP3bPA_sXKBMbA1wczgB5pr_pN_2R5GIWhHbTZwKAV8nnIJg/s1200/1_old_car_print.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgauzd6LGkXKOi9DcENZjXaLsMLHTXzngXytVyVI-J_0b0omG_IGPtlB9Wbu80qbnjJZ3nZMX0pTWk-pTAe_XP8-pz-kpGVeQNlCcq-iDrTT71SVEbJGZ5tQCyBFKtZv7liCR9XIgbP3bPA_sXKBMbA1wczgB5pr_pN_2R5GIWhHbTZwKAV8nnIJg/s320/1_old_car_print.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Just a reminder that I'm giving away a print of this old car painting on Wednesday (2/21/24).
