Four Days a Week: May 2012
http://lydiraeblack.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Four Days a Week. Eat, Sleep, Paint. Monday, May 21, 2012. 36"H by 24"W on Matte Media Dura-Lar. This is a very poor quality photo of an exceptional quality painting, so I do have some apologies on that account, but since my computer has recently been taken apart and reassembled with a new operating system and less programs, it is the best that I can do for now. I'm updating with a photo of the piece in a frame. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

http://lydiraeblack.blogspot.com/2012/08/in-progress-ex-latte-six-seven-and-eight.html
Four Days a Week. Eat, Sleep, Paint. Thursday, August 2, 2012. In Progress: Ex-Latte Six, Seven, and Eight. Ex-Latte Six, Seven, Eight". 8"H by 6"W, on panel. Began this by drawing on some panels a couple of Saturdays ago. Blocked in the background and shadows quickly, and they'll need more fine tuning. Ex-Latte Six, Seven, Eight". 8"H by 6"W, on panel. This is after three hours of work. It needs a little help where some of the spaces between planes are, as they're still devoid of paint.

Four Days a Week: Mine and Yours
http://lydiraeblack.blogspot.com/2013/11/mine-and-yours.html
Four Days a Week. Eat, Sleep, Paint. Tuesday, November 5, 2013. 48"H by 36"W, on panel. This painting is 36"x48", and went to the California State Fair this year. It won an award of Merit, and more importantly, represents a new path for me. Having it hanging in my space while I work doesn't slow my process on other paintings, it serves to inspire me. I am in love again with the human figure. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

Four Days a Week: April 2011
http://lydiraeblack.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Four Days a Week. Eat, Sleep, Paint. Saturday, April 16, 2011. 11"H by 8.5"W, on panel. This was finished a few weeks ago but I forgot to post it, and the unframed version of this photo was unfortunately corrupted by a memory card error. Of course, the other two dog paintings I've started are not progressing so easily. At least I can put them off until the 22nd, when the State Fair deadline is officially up. Tuesday, April 5, 2011. In Progress: Untitled 3 (shoes). 48"H by 48"W, on panel.

Four Days a Week: July 2012
http://lydiraeblack.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Four Days a Week. Eat, Sleep, Paint. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. 30"H by 20"W on Silver Mylar. This was started last night at Kaleid's Two-Buck Tuesdays. Where I like to paint live in front of people. Unlike the last two paintings I did while I was at that event, this one isn't even close to being done, because as I got more involved with the painting of it, I realized that I really needed to treat this carefully and not just jot it down as a sketch as I did with the last two.

Four Days a Week: May 2011
http://lydiraeblack.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Four Days a Week. Eat, Sleep, Paint. Sunday, May 15, 2011. 11"H by 8.5"W, on wet media Dura-Lar. This was done quickly with a favorite shoe as my model. I can't actually wear most of the shoes I've been painting, and this one in particular is so absurdly tiny that it should be relegated to the world of doll shoes. However, the label on the sole insists that this is sized six and a half. Friday, May 6, 2011. 30"H by 48"W, on canvas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Four Days a Week: June 2011
http://lydiraeblack.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Four Days a Week. Eat, Sleep, Paint. Saturday, June 4, 2011. 48"H by 48"W, on panel. This is being taken to the State Fair this Saturday for delivery to their Fine Art Competition. Here is the accompanying Artist Statement:. It may not be the best that I've ever written, but it is short, and I felt that that was important. I didn't want to get the reader too bogged down by elaborating on ownership, culture, totems, self-worth, and femininity. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
