Ok, the talk is over about Tonalism. I've read a few different lectures and watched a few differen videos and come to the conclusion that most of these people concerned have no clue. They form an opinion and that is what Tonalism is. Bull. I'll form my own opinion. It's all about capturing a sunrise or sunset and doing it properly. At sunrise or set the earth takes on a glow from the sun and all the colors conform to it. It's different every time the sun rises and sets because of factors beyond my scope of understanding. I have watched an abundance of both and not from painting but from fishing. Always on the water before sunrise and a lot of times after the sunset. That's best times for fishing. Anyway, I have taken what I see from tonalism and from here after it is dead. I paint my way which is the same as my religion: "Wayneism". It's all I know because it's what I understand and I go to hell or Heaven based on my beliefs not those of anyone else. It's my art so I paint it my way, begging, borrowing, and stealing along the way.
This is based on the insight I recieved after looking at some winter scenes but Charles Eaton. This is actually based on any of his paintings but solely on the insight and thoughts I formed after viewing his winter pictures. This one in particular stroked the engine of thought. Actually this, to my surprise, is for sale on eBay.
