Last Painting of the Year. Oil on linen panel, 16"x12". Here's my last painting of 2014. Obviously, it's not done from life - I based it on one of my "Faces of Afghanistan" drawings fleshed out with stuff pulled from a raggedy photo. It captures the feeling of a real farmer that I knew in Afghanistan. These small lands...

Ramblings from a painter. Adventures of a military officer turned artist turned program manager turned artist again . wondering what he'll be when he grows up . Wednesday, February 25, 2015. 20 Feet from Stardom. For an in-depth discussion of the film. Big-name stars. Yet none of them became a music star in her own right. So you have to wonder, why is that? How can somebody who can sing like that not. Or is there another way to define success? Let me ramble on those thoughts for a few moments. A comparis...

Last night, we watched the movie Still Alice. Julianne Moore won an Academy Award for her role, and it was well deserved. She really became. Young people watch horror movies for a gratuitous scare. Still Alice. Life with Alzheimer's. You just appreciate it a lot more. Posted by Skip Rohde. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Working on a Painting. Blah I don't have to worry about that with this model - she's a firecracker, full of energy, and always coming up with something interesting. Which is why I asked her to work with me on this project. She came through in spades. So here's the drawing, as it sits right now, next to my easel:. Mark Dem...

Ramblings from a painter. Adventures of a military officer turned artist turned program manager turned artist again . wondering what he'll be when he grows up . Tuesday, June 23, 2015. My wife is a San Diego girl. She grew up with the beaches not far away. Well, here in the Asheville area, the beaches are very. Lots of heat. Family in close quarters. Sounds like a recipe for a nuclear explosion, doesn't it? Then, while getting stuff packed in, the garage door somehow got activated and caught on the truck...

Ramblings from a painter. Adventures of a military officer turned artist turned program manager turned artist again . wondering what he'll be when he grows up . Sunday, March 29, 2015. Oil on panel, 16"x20". This is my newest painting. I wanted to do an urban landscape with an empty feeling. This one seems to be successful. I usually have to live with a painting for a while before understanding it, but it seems to hit the right notes for me. Graphite on paper, 12"x9". Evie May and Liam. A Taste of Spring.

Ramblings from a painter. Adventures of a military officer turned artist turned program manager turned artist again . wondering what he'll be when he grows up . Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Looking at Artists: Mark Demsteader. Oil on canvas, 52"x39". So I found Mark's web page. You might call his approach formulaic. Usually, when all the works from an artist are done the same way, I get bored after about the third one. I don't get bored with Demsteader's. They're too good. Pastel and collage, 46"x32". Third, ...

Ramblings from a painter. Adventures of a military officer turned artist turned program manager turned artist again . wondering what he'll be when he grows up . Friday, July 24, 2015. In my last post, I wrote about Mark Demsteader and his approach to drawing and painting the figure. I thought I'd try it out. So I picked out a drawing from an old session with a model to copy and compare, and gave it a go. Here's the result:. Where do the shadows fall? Is she strong-willed, bubbly, bored? There's nothing t...
