nan johnson art blog pages home about me about the art wednesday march 24 2021 spring pop ups 11x14 acrylic on canvas board once in a while i do a painting that is unplanned this started as a blank canvas only no sketches no preliminary planning no i have an idea moments just a blank canvas a few brushes a few tubes of paint i let the painting come out on it s own it s fun to do once in while nice to get out of the mind crunching planning that i often have with a new painting where i am living now spring happens sloooowly and in stages right now there is still snow in various areas of the yard and even though the temperatures during the day get above freezing the snow that has been plowed or mounded during the winter are reluctant to give up gradually we see more and more of the ground unfortunately before we can really experience spring we experience mud season this is when the ground is still frozen firm except for the top inch or so step carefully for your shoe boot will be engulfed and you ll hear that telltale sound of suction i once had a sneaker pulled off by it but as soft as the ground is the bulbs wake up and the crocus s are the first to show themselves the pop up in various places in the yard i will be planting more of these lovelies in the fall posted by nan johnson at 11 26 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday march 19 2021 cat s eagle my cousin cat graciously gave permission to paint from one of her photographs she captured a series of this eagle who was fishing for a meal i wanted to capture the bird especially those wings and the water splash quite a challenge but i was feeling brave this is acrylic on a 12x24 stretched canvas the background water was done with a series of washes to create a feeling of depth but also to soften all edges so as not to compete with the bird splash i m pretty happy with this one and wanted to post it now while i m still painting the edges of the stretched canvas posted by nan johnson at 1 34 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday march 11 2021 the challenge maybe i should name this put the brush down stop it this has been indeed a challenge taking a deep breath right about now my hats of to floral painters so much to deal with no black very limited white shapes shadows highlights lost edges hard edges i ve changed the value of just about every color in this except the greens of the background and i had a constant struggle with impression vs realism in the end i am somewhat happy with this i love the large rose my last struggle was with the surrounding roses that are in various stages of blooming i can t guarantee that i am not going to see something in a few days that i just have to tweak but for now i am calling it done i have 2 more empty stretched canvas s that are the same size as this 8x10 2 1 4 deep my original plan was to do a 3 painting rose series not sure now maybe

happens pretty much every year i m trying to not be art idle i ve had these small 3x3 inch canvas panels for some time always thought to make some hand painted magnets i have some winter ones that are a bit larger but i thought these smaller ones would work well we recently moved from the nj home we lived in for years decades to our upstate ny vacation home it is now our full time residence i have always been a gardener bird feeder so intend to do the same in ny i do know that i have crossed into a different zone for gardening some of my past attempts have failed after a winter i will try again what surprised me though was the different birds that come to the feeder where before in nj there were most the small house sparrows some blue jays and a cardinal pair now i am seeing nuthatches chickadees tufted titmouse also juneco s there are blue jays occasionally as crows the size of buick sedans so far no cardinals and only 1 lone mourning dove who must have lost it s mate sad i decided to paint these little guys at my feeder as well as the spring flowers i hope to plant see these are all 3x3 inch hand painted acrylics posted by nan johnson at 12 11 pm no comments email this blogthis
