Painting Three Rivers

Did you think I forgot these paintings? Not a chance; I have a little bazaar coming on November 19 in Three Rivers and need some appropriate merchandise (besides just 2023 calendars and cards and coloring books.)

Did I think you forgot them? Not gonna let you forget—don’t worry your pretty little head about that.

One:

(Please, do not sing about this.)

It is now finished, drying, and awaiting a scan so you can see the colors more accurately. The title is Alta Peak/Moro Rock View. (Yes, I know it is brilliant and clever and original.)

Two:

Just a bunch of yellow grass couldn’t possibly take that long, could it?

Yes, it could and it is. It isn’t titled yet. Perhaps “Yellow Grass and Live Oaks” would be appropriately creative and original. . .

Three:

Mixing colors for this one has been fun. My paintings tend to be all greens, grays, and browns, or nothing but orange (poppies and oranges, over and over).

How about calling it “Three Indian Grindholes on the Middle Fork of the Kaweah River in Three Rivers at Sunset”?

Nope. It is only an 8×10″ oil painting, so there isn’t enough room on the back of the canvas to write all that.

Part of the business of art is coming up with good titles. I’ve got some thinking to do.

P.S. Happy Birthday, Laurie!

  1. Title for grinding holes and sunset: The View.

    • Donna, not The Three? 😎

  2. Thank you.

  3. ?? “. . . singular sensation, every little step she takes!” ??

    • Hmmm, Sharon, I think I am supposed to know what that is in reference to. . . nope, I don’t.

      • Sorry, that WAS a bit obscure! You wrote, “Please do not sing about this” then wrote “ONE.” The most famous song to come out of the Broadway musical “A Chorus Line” is the finale entitled, “One.” The first line of that song is “One singular sensation, every little step she takes. One thrilling combination, every move that she makes.” To watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyZeGOsR9IA

        • I didn’t want anyone to plant an earworm of “Small World”.

      • P.S. Those question marks before and after were supposed to be little musical notes. I guess WordPress isn’t on speaking terms with MS Word icons.
