The Value of Value

Wednesday, July 30, 2014

I’m back from a home remodeling experience.

Here is my latest painting off the easel. The humming bird is one of our favorite summer birds. Sedona photographer Paula Potter provided the reference image and inspiration for this oil painting interpretation, “Banquet Time” painted to enter the Hummingbird Society summer juried show at the Sedona Art Center. The Hummer is already juried into its first show.

Enjoy the feeling of this paintings story of a summer banquet.

Studies in Value

The title I have selected for my blog is Studies in Value. Value is the influence of light to create shadows. Or, in my artwork, look for areas of high contrast where light and dark are used to focus you on the center of interest, to give a sculptural feel to a 2 dimensional surface, create excitement or a mood.

Notan Design: a Japanese word refers to the lights and darks in a painting. The foundation of any painting; which draws your eye with impact. A successful painting has a strong balance of light and darks.
