Three generations of Wyeth's at the Portland Art Museum. Newell Converse is hands down my favorite of the work represented in this exhibit. He apprenticed with Howard Pyle. His illustrations join many artists of that era - Maxfield Parrish who influenced Fred Machetanz, Minerva Teichert who studied with Robert Henri - in the pursuit of narrating history and their social/cultural experience.
Reflections before dinner...
Working the River Series...
Worked a bit more last week on the larger piece for the Working the River series. 72'' x 48''. I enjoy working in acrylic for quick dry, easy layering and glazing. Coming along.
Baby steps...
A basic rough-in drawing on the concrete I sawed in half (photo from a couple of days ago) hoping this will become a bas relief. The horizontal marks are from the saw.
Light...
When the sun takes extended holiday, I love the lights. Hanging in until 22 December when the days begin to lengthen.
A Fine Job...
In preparation for a bas relief, 75 lbs. of cement cut in half. A fine job. A very fine job. Hope the sculpture goes as well.
