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.

Summer time

Where has the time gone! Summer has been in full swing, and where have I been?

Traveling, that's where! I spend a week in June at my son and daughter in law house, getting my grandson Matthew to and from wrestling practice and picking up my granddaughter at day camp. What fun!

Then on to San Francisco to visit with my daughter Elaine. We had a wonderful time, dinning, seeing "Wicked" and then driving down the Big Sur coast to Santa Barbara. Saw magnificent scenery and interesting things.

I also flew to Seattle and spent a few days with my long time friend Stephanie and her husband Joe. All is well with Joe now, thank God.

Since this is a artist blog, I quess that I should mention that I am back at the drawing board and easel, working on three projects at the same time. I will talk about the projects on my next post.
