Oil from Life: Rattan Chair

[ntl]

Oil from Life: Rattan Chair ~3×5″ colors: transparent oxides red, yellow, and brown, viridian, titanium white, chromatic black. Don’t sit in this chair, you’ll slide right off!

The chair–I had a set–came from a hotel that closed ~1990.The chair’s proportions are right, my drawing isn’t

. Working towards painting faster and better... C&C welcome, thanks for looking.

Faster and better! Certainly the right direction to follow, at least I for one believe so. Depicting what you want to depict by means of quick strokes that are put in the right places and create a certain expressive description of the subject ,and it all WORKS (!), is for me (oh well, I can only speak for myself….) superior and more meaningful than realism.

Not to highlight the dick in contradict , but superior/more meaningful are value judgements, wherever we are on the Richter scale

NTL, I enjoy your Still life's as much.

 

[Nufocus]

Yep, Iain, value it is!…… and when you mentioned Richter, I’m sure that you were referring to Gerard Richter….
Yes, he’s been using his scale forever….
And yes again, NTL probably had Vincent’s chair on her (his?) mind when deciding on this piece

 

[Nufocus]

Shucks, I just noticed that my very smart phone (not great on German names…) decided to call Gerhard Gerard!.. A francophone

Love this ntl. It has SO much personality. It's well painted. It's wonderful!

Nufocus, you're terrific! Thanks!

lain, at least one would slide off the front of mine, not the corner! (ouch) Thanks for the compliment! My very first oil painting teacher, presenting a class offered by the city of Anchorage, AK in 1972, compared my work to Van Gogh! My perspective is STILL off! and my little book on perspective is missing due to the recent move...

No, not thinking of Vinnie, just wanted to paint a quickie (less than 3 hours) while waiting for paint to dry on the BIG project.

Arty, Sno, thanks. I'll work on a few more. Your support is so important.
