I've been studying an approach that creates the vibration but without all the jumpy brokenness of value shifts. Working with temperature shifts of the same value creates a calmer effect, but it is very interesting to see a style that intentionally used shifts in value. I didn't realize that's how Metcalf was doing this. Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592110937643503469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-23823966335814384432017-01-22T14:20:27.946-05:002017-01-22T14:20:27.946-05:00Thanks for checking in with us.

Your blogs are always like a visit from an old friend.<br />I'm always interested in discovering the impetus of such experiments, techniques, and style shifts in painting history. Was it deliberate insight or fear of being perceived as a producer of the expected? Maybe someone simply had extra paint and sat around doodling and came up with this?<br />Your post also got me thinking about something else that I’d love to hear you speak about: Today there is so much interest in "creative authenticity" that it's starting to sound like a cliché. In 2004 Ian Roberts wrote an excellent book by that title. I've gone to a tent meeting or two recently where authenticity is being preached by artists (Bit of irony: no credit went to Roberts!) Are some of today’s artists going out of their way to try to break out of the expected to tell an "honest" story? Or is that truly how “the next big thing” comes to be? To me, artistic authenticity is a bit like falling in love- it works if it is done in a relaxed and confident way without showing the viewer your intent or by being uptight and tedious. <br />Finally- I read a quote to novel writers this week that resonated: "It is not the words- it is the story." <br />Looking forward to your book and also your visit to Mississippi this fall!Dot Coursonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480008607594406482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-34967534240264569542017-01-18T10:43:30.338-05:002017-01-18T10:43:30.338-05:00Great to read you again.

I was beginning to worry that you had been picked off by cranky snowflakes and were being held by them deep in the Crimean oil fields until W&N started making cinnamon flavored Anti-Republican purple paint. Please don't stay away for another year.broker12https://www.blogger.com/profile/06847087732827334328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-31792941060448870412017-01-16T23:57:52.171-05:002017-01-16T23:57:52.171-05:00Thank you!

For a landscape would you think it useful to change the brushstroke size to imply distance i.e. larger marks for the foreground, gradually smaller towards the far distance? I've been studying too much I fear, and making everything complicated. Cold water must be thrown in my face, thanks!Judy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09176284042670900772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-57665692283968814992017-01-16T09:23:12.528-05:002017-01-16T09:23:12.528-05:00Many thanks thanks Stapeton for this very intersti...Many thanks thanks Stapeton for this very intersting subject on the Impressionists,I am very much a fan and try to put some of this colored rice effect into my pictures.<br />I very much look forward to to what you have to say as to how the next generation of painters handled form and still retained that shimmering effect of light.<br /><br />Thanks again for all the knowledge you pass on to us and free of charge too!<br /><br />All the very best to you.<br /><br />LouisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765196553777576146noreply@blogger.com
