Worked on the linen of Still Life 3. Will probably paint the linen one more time in a couple of days before letting it dry for a week or two before glazing the linen.

Since October 3rd I’ve been waiting for my eyes to recover enough to start painting again. Maybe I’ll be able to paint tomorrow.
For the last 7 weeks, I’ve been using the Artificial Intelligence program MidJourney to generate reference photos.
I intend to paint the following images.

I didn’t like the AI-generated sky in Landscape 3 so I just put a thin layer of white over almost all of it. I think I’ll paint stratus clouds.

Glazed the background of Still Life 2 with Transparent Brown Oxide and French Ultramarine Blue. I’ll probably glaze it one more time before finishing the table and objects of the painting.

Think I have things with my blog back to where it was before I deactivated it.

My Bluehost subscription is going to expire. I’ll be selling my trailer. There’s no reason to post the steps of my paintings. So there’s no reason to continue posting and no reason to pay Bluehost to continue maintaining this domain. This is my last post.

I gave MidJouney AI Image Generator parameters to create maybe 100 images. I chose these to paint. I’ll start them as I finish the ones I’m working on now.

Worked on the blue sky and clouds of Landscape 4.

The large, bold landscapes I’m working on are not meant to be realistic landscape paintings. Some of my favorite art is California Impressionism. Also, I like Georgia O’Keefe’s and Maynard Dixon’s landscapes, American Modernism landscapes, and some American Regionalism landscapes. California Impressionism and American Regionalism were active during the Depression. Thomas Hart Benton was an American Regionalist. I think Jackson Pollack studied under him.
I am attempting to do realistic still-life paintings.
