Postcard
Posted: April 25, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized 4 CommentsI have a small block of Fabriano hot pressed paper, 5″ x 7″, sort of postcard size, that I thought I’d try out today. I figured the small format would help me keep things fast and fresh. And after I painted it, it did look a bit like a postcard from a tropical place. Except for the plastic palms.
I love some of the loose and quick sketches that you do… including this one. And, you are right… you do seem to have captured a tropical feel with this… not easy to do when there is still snow under some trees.
Speaking of trees, are these the same plastic palms about which I may have made some derogatory comments, a long time ago? If it isn’t, let me say that those are awful looking palms! Now, that is a comment on Canadian palm manufacturing… not your drawing. (Just added that so that we don’t have your sensitive and caring followers jumping to your artistic defense… again.)
Those are the very same ones Ross. Still plastic and still awful looking.
I was going to say, where the heck were you with palms. But mystery solved with commentary above. Still want to see your car studio some day. Have I missed it on a post?
No, you haven’t missed the car studio post. I took the photos one day but they were awful so I have to get out there and do it again with a better camera and on a brighter day. I haven’t forgotten!
