Nancy Franke, Musings on Painting. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. 8220;Swimming is simply moving meditation.”. 8213; Cesar Nikko Caharian. Sestri Levante Morning, 9 x 14. Ooh, the heat of summer, which I have. Learned to appreciate, is upon us here in Atlanta. The sun is shining brightly and I swim whenever I can in the mornings - as it's so very nice to float along and stay loose. Of course, staying loose is easier said than done, both in life and in painting! Morning Colors, 12 x 9, Oil Sketch. A signature me...

Nancy Franke, Musings on Painting. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Further Swimming - Let it Go! Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. if you love what you are doing, you will be successful." - Albert Schweitzer. I think sometimes I try too hard to figure out what the expectations of me and my paintings are, rather than painting what I feel. Lately, it's been refreshing to let that go! Photo of my palette mixtures. Welcome Home, Charleston, 12 x 12. From recent Opelika Workshop,.

Nancy Franke, Musings on Painting. Monday, April 20, 2015. Listen to the color of your dreams,. Lots of travel the past month - so much fun and re-charging too! With extra time to think outside the studio, I have been transforming my goals as a painter as well. Why not? I am painting for ME now, feeling my way into the subject, no longer worrying about the subject itself. The subject is the starting point - for my dreaming and fun. While at the easel. Below are some recent paintings:. A signature member ...

Nancy Franke, Musings on Painting. Thursday, July 31, 2014. It Would be Natural. To say I am a "floral" painter, or a "still life" painter, but I still like to think of myself as a "painter," period! With that in mind, I recently booked one of my favorite Atlanta models, Annie Jefferson, to sit for one morning at my last two Alla Prima (supposedly still life) workshops. This shift in expected subject matter turned out to be a success! Annie at Atlanta Artists Center Workshop, June, 2014. A signature memb...

K. Chesterton. Perhaps someday I'll pass through this phase of liking really high-key paintings! Right now, I continue to push the paler shades of white, or is it the "Whiter Shade of Pale?
