What’s shakin’ at Rodzart 09-03-2010

Hi Folks. Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a good week, and a good weekend coming up. We completed four paintings for you this week, and we have several more in the works.

The first new painting for this week is 10 X 7 inch acrylic on watercolor paper, which I entitled

”Expression 1074”. This is another line painting on a black background, which I think you’ll find interesting.

The next painting for this week is a 9 X 12 acrylic abstract expression on watercolor paper called

Expression 1075. As you can see, I really like the black background line paintings.

Then we have Expression 1076 which is a 14 X 20 inch acrylic on watercolor paper.

This is line painting on a gray background which I think you’ll like after looking at it for a few moments.

Lastly for this week is 9 X 12 inch acrylic on watercolor paper, which str4angely enough is called

”Expression 1077”. As you can see I did a bunch of line paintings this week. This particular piece has some passages of impasto which I haven’t done with a work on paper before.

This has been another hectic week, so I didn’t have time to get all the projects I wanted under way, but I’ll keep plugging along. I am looking forward to the 3-day weekend. If nothing else I’ll be able to see my wife for more than 45 minutes a night.

I want to give a big shout out to all my new followers and friends on Twitter, Myspace and facebook. I really appreciate your support. And for the folks who’ve been with my right along, I appreciate you beyond measure. Someday; hopefully in this lifetime; I (we) will get “discovered” and then you can say that you followed me before it was fashionable. Ok, so one can hope anyway.

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned I was trying to find a label for my line paintings as a way to describe them. The more I consider it, the more convinced I am that maybe “dancing music” is a good description. I’ve usually got some kind of music in my head when I’m painting, and when you think about the color harmonies and image rhythms, I think dancing music might be a good descriptor. So when you look at these weeks paintings, try to think about what music might go along with it. Don’t cost nothin’ to look ya know.

If you happen to be in the Brandon area, please remember that I’ve got six paintings hanging in “The Art of Hair” salon at 10963 Causeway Blvd., in Brandon. So, I hope you’ll drop by and check them out, and maybe get some great hair styling while you’re them.

If you’ve got a few bucks to spare, how about spending them on Haiti. There are a lot of good programs going on, my two favorites are, as always, Doctors without borders, they’ve got a link below. Also, The Clinton-Bush Haiti fund.

Here are a couple more sites I hope you’ll visit and support:
Doctors without Borders.
Katsel Tsi Chen Cho Kyi Ling Buddhist Meditation center.

I’m also on Twitter
Myspace and
Facebook
Look me up there if ya feel like it.

I hope everyone has a peaceful and prosperous week. See ya next time.
