How's it going Gerry? Any upcoming shows? Hopefully you've been getting some stone in your hands lately.
Timid, that nutcracker is too funny.

Nice detail Ger!
You getting out on the rock at all Justin? Glad to see you're painting.
Sure wish I could squeeze in some painting time, but I could resurrect the doodle thread with some "work". :)
Thanks for sharing everyone!

Nate, I have been feeling better as of late and have done a little climbing. Not as much as I'd like but I'll take what I can get. Hopefully you aren't to busy with work and have done some climbing too. Let's see them doodles.
Nice bc and Paul and Ger.

Everyone's new work is wonderful!
You know that feeling you get when you go to an area that has climbing near by but for whatever reason you can't get on the rock? I, and I'm sure a lot of you, get that same feeling when I'm travelling and can't get to a local art museum. I've been here in the DC area for four days and haven't had time for any art. My nieces just have no interest. And the time with them is too precious to do both.
So, I am jonesing for my art fix.

Good luck Phylp. If you can sneak away to the Smithsonian art museum it's a good one. The Korean war memorial is some of the coolest sculptures I've ever seen. Have fun and hopefully we get to see some pictures of art that you got to see. Laters.

I've been working on very large projects for many years (a few years ago I completed a 4,000 sq ft ceiling mural of clouds for the Jones Museum of Archaeology in Moundville, AL). So these small plein-air quick oil sketches are an enjoyable departure.Here's my friend Jon (Anthropologist, musician, artist etc...) painting at one of my favorite bouldering areas in So Cal.

That sucks, but hopefully the MRI shows good news. Let's do some tollhouse this winter if you're around.

Cosmic-
Have you tried Japan drier with the oils? Small amounts are recommended, but I use it liberally, so paintings dry in a few hours. Acrylics are my usual medium too, especially for murals, used with an extender.

Keith, I've often wondered which of the "well known" artists of times past might have painted with acrylics if they had been available.
I've always thought Van Gogh. I've heard him described as a colorist but I've never agreed with that description.. Though I love his work, it's not for his use of color. Much of it gets muddy and I'm not sure that was his intent. Given the way he worked, I wonder if it's just the result of painting too fast with the oils of his time.
Another one who comes to mind is Turner.
Anybody have an opinion?

I would agree that color wasn't Van Gogh's specialty. His brush marks and the texture and movement that resulted from it is what made him special. One thing about his color was it wasn't realistic, it was stylized and in this way maybe he can be seen as a colorist.
I do think Van Gogh would have loved acrylics, because his paintings were heavily layered and you could tell he worked fast.
