Disappearing acts as an m.o. lately, oops.

Made it to dawn a while back, quick digital color study trying to wrap my head around how this could translate into paint. Shapes, shadows, and very delicate luminations.

Otherwise, wrapping up two complex paintings I hope to share soon.

I have my work intermixed with my friends' work and antique paintings all over my house. Without fail, my visitors always pick out my friend's work as their fav and ask of it's mine. Which makes me both intensely proud of my artists friends and humbled as hell at my visitor's tastes, haha.

Go easy on yourself! Those can tire you out immensely.

The ebb and flow can be tough, I hope you find a way to let it take you where it needs. Rest is part of the process.

(Note on impressionism: that and the invention of paint tubes)

and the industrial revolution sparked the Arts & Crafts movement. Traditional arts are still here even with those big technology shifts - both of those eras of art highly lauded, collected, and taught about.

What an odd take - I hate this thing, but I want credit for being good at it by using a third-party tool to do the work for me. Also, as an art history nerd, to the person who commented about the invention of the camera - art / painting isn't dead because of it, in fact, it catalyzed impressionism,

Oooo oh no! Hope you heal up quickly!

Lauren Elyse S. @laurenelyseart.bsky.social · Aug 18

I do on my page :)

Lauren Elyse S. @laurenelyseart.bsky.social · Aug 17

Rolling along. Especially loving that bit of water from my painting of time spent in Venice.

Though - one of my techniques is using phthalo green (blue shade) to build up glazed layers of a nice vibrating dark, and no camera has ever been able to pick up its glow and depths. Whomp.
