I told Karen I'd post a link with some of the plein air paintings I have been doing, so here it is http://s69.photobucket.com/albums/i80/havenspace/plein%20air%20exercises/

I have been doing about 2 a day but only got 6 photos taken so far because I am lazy (or easily distracted icon_rollsmilie ).

Very nice!!  :big grin:

Thanks everybody, I appreciate all the kind words :big grin:.  I will continue to update that as I go.  I am very pleased with how these are going which is good because usually I am terribly harsh with myself and that leads to not painting at all.  I also have resisted doing landscapes, so it is amusing that I am enjoying it so much icon_headstand

It is a lesson in sabbatoge though.  When I was planning on art as a career I was doing charcoal, oils, and sculpture in college (with the emphasis on sculpture).  I had maybe done 2 watercolors my whole life.  So when I decided to pursue painting as a career, I made it much more difficult by saying "Hey, I think I'll do watercolors".  So even though I have formal "training" in art, I am self teaching in watercolors.  I also have resisted landscapes when clearly they are speaking to me. 

I am thankful that pursuing "reclaiming my own mind" has given me the space to expand into the areas I need/desire minus the self flagellation.

Hey Haven,  What is definition of Plain Air?...    I dont draw or paint.  I once drew a stick figure and everyone thought it was a log.  Then I tried to draw a log and everyone thought it was a cow!

:)

William, sure your not from down under land with that sense of humor?

 

Haven,

They are great, and I agree that they are suggestive and mysterious, there is a real mystery to their interpretation. Did you do these while doing your hyperspace work? Stop getting distracted and take more photos so we can view all your wonderful creations.

William: You crack me up icon_lol  Okay, so "Plein air" really means "I was sittin outside breathing outside air while painting the outside, instead of sitting inside breathing studio air painting the outside from a photograph" :big grin: 

It always feels to me like one of those pretentious words that are meant to exclude people (which I hate).  But then I was trying to think what to call these to describe the difference of how I usually paint and couldn't come up with anything else icon_confused icon_biggrin .

Karen:  these are products of hyperspace and oversoul work.  Some are better than others for sure, but for the first time in years I can look at them and feel really happy, even with the ones that don't go well lol. 

I should put up one of the "Good Paint Gone Bad" ones too.

Haven, I love your new avatar because it looks so professional. I knew another artist who was new to computer graphics, but he learned fast and quickly surpassed me as well... :thumbsup:
