Artistic Concepts by Carolyn

Daily blog of art in progress by Carolyn Needleman with personal comments by the artist. I primarily work in oil, because I enjoy the rich texture and buttery feel of the oil as I paint. You can manipulate oil to create color excitement, drama, mood and texture in a painting. There is a pleasure in creating a work of art from first draft to finished project that excites me and fills my fundamental need to create.

July 25, 2006

The last three days have been very busy with travel and touring.

Sunday and Monday were spent in Pebble Beach, Carmel-by the-sea and Monterey. The weather was hot but not humid so walking around the towns and art galleries was plesant. So much inspiration!

Ocean views were spectacular of the Pacific. The ocean was calm and the air was clear for good viewing. We were able to see dolphins and harbour seals.

The Monterey Aquarium was outstanding in it's presentation of the life of the area of Monterey in the Pacific Ocean. It is a great child friendly atmosphere with outstanding exibits for both adult and child. You learn as you enjoy!

Today, Monday, July 25th was inspirational. I was able to view several outstanding Leroy Neiman litheographs in San Francisco. I love his interpretation of his subject matter and his bold use of color. His work is so very alive...his work just sings!

Well, enough for today.
Enjoy the life that you live today and remember to see beauty. It is all around us.

Carolyn
