If the artist is using someone else’s technique, what does that make them? A model of a certain form of art. / I look into a gallery with an exhibition of an impressionist painter. I think about what would make an artist want to paint like another artist, from a country far away. I think about why people might want to hide their actual sense of their surrounds. The bare minimal with the stains of existence. It is reminiscent of a French painter Boudoair. I’ve seen this style also in Van Gogh, but he has used brighter colours and added something else that smacks in the face of the style he learnt to mimic. / This style has sense enough to have natural elements to, but it is a tin. And so is cartooning and without many animators working on the same project we wouldn’t have the movies and comics created that are so entertaining. So, replication of technique is a good skill to have. Modelling, as I call it when writing, also has a similar dream for writing fan-fiction, or to style of genre. I walked along further and saw the second gallery’s exhibition. It gave me organic optical illusions, and huge paintings with a patch work weaves, up close and fascinating. The painters in this exhibition made what they had amazing. They chose the focal point that gave a dream. I was there, in the moment wondering about the fabric in the painting, with all senses open. The paintings I found difficult, were either something I didn’t understand well enough, or something that I could see was boiling over at the cramping of its style. If I were to choose a style it would be the second one. But I won’t, because it belongs to people who understand it best. And guess what? I don’t need to, because if that’s what I did, I wouldn’t be supporting it, I’d be undermining it. There is a reason I say this. People who dream from the heart and soul and listen to the environment around them and know who they are. They don’t need to flitter to other souls to find contentment. / That said, I write. So, in that I do like to understand another’s tone and gait and gesture and accent, words and so much more. But these characteristics are going to be a character, they are never going to be me. I like being an individual. Because the stuff I hide, is to protect others. Now, that may sound silly, but it makes sense to me. And if that’s the reason others paint in the style of a French impressionist, then so be it. / Style is something people get used to, but it is never fixed. That’s why style guides and dictionaries change every two years or so. The earth needs change. That’s what it does. And humans are great visionaries of the change. Even those who do not use their eyes to see, talk of visions. It is the way the mind works to a large extent. I continued my walk to a third exhibition I saw on the street. Clean lines, lots of bronze. Decorative, well put together work. Neat, efficient craft. The creation was a labour of replicating the same idea in varying ways to the point of a machine. I found it well suited to military interests. / And then there were the Grecian moulds cast in varying materials in furniture store. And I thought, what would happen, if a hundred thousand years in the future, people excavated those store dummies, which are now appearing with no heads for some reason (perhaps because: people with headless they minimalise the focus). What if then, those who found these plastic mannequins then decided to remake them and sell them as art. Hmm. The future would gain an interest in Headless Mannequinism.

It was Andy Mueller IPA,. who bought the fine works of +tinygdynamite+to my attention. His work in my opinion what one can truly define as high quality FINE ART photography at its best. Also please read his comments that come with each image,they are a must read. Below is a small selection of his work. Click on the Image, which will take you direct to his profile Sorry about the above image, which is not doing any justice to his work. OK, before you all get any ideas, I have already reserved my place as his apprentice….LOL

For those of you that follow my work take this opportunity to see works behind glass that I have around my home. Some of these pieces are originals and some are ideas taken from others’ works. It is just a collection of works that I have put together to ‘show’ to a gallery owner in Marmaris as he is interested in displaying my work ….nothing ventured, nothing gained. Sorry about the angles, but it’s 7pm here, dark and I needed the flash. Typical Turkey, contacted me today and wants to meet tomorrow ….nothing like spur of the moment to jolt activity! / Anyhow – the Not Published stuff is here if you are interested:

To create a painting I normally start with a digital photo which I have taken. If necessary I will alter the photo to suit, i.e. may change the sky, add more people, and delete items I do not want in the painting. I usually use Photoshop for this part. / When the photo now represents what I want to paint, it is ready to be loaded into ArtRage as a reference image pinned to my canvas. / The parameters for brush size texture of paint, thinners levels are set to a starting point which suits what I am to paint. As I progress with the painting these are also modified, just as you would with traditional oil paint. / Paper size ant texture is then set up. / My photo is now added as reference image. From this point I have various methods I use for my colour palettes: / The main one is to set up a custom colour picker from the reference image, this becomes one of my palettes. / Next is set up a colour sample panel with all my primary colours on as one of my palettes. / Thirdly I will often select specific colours from the custom colour palette originally made, paint these into my canvas and then save a new custom colour picker as a new palette. / These palettes are now available for me to use as required. / With everything cleared from my canvas I can now add my first new layer. This is an important step in digital painting as with traditional painting. You can lay down the background and then with subsequent layers add the various levels of the painting blending and shading as you progress. / I will often make a line drawing in a default layer and set this to approx. 70% opacity. Next can come the brushing in of the colour scheme. The rest is painting as you would normally with traditional painting. / At the end you can merge the layers and start tweaking the colours and smaller details. / In my case I usually transfer this back into Photoshop for printing.
