How To Say I Do In Spanish

Final result

Saturday, January 16, I decided that it made no sense to continue, the framework can work together, all iripensamenti and ideas going on within the course of work, can find room in future work. It is not excluded that I could come back to it in a short time, I consider this a finished painting. The locomotive has its own weight, fits well into the landscape, he discharges steam puffing smoke, the background evokes a space greater than what you see, and even the trees before of the wall are decently placed nell'avvallamento. For distances was very helpful cobalt blue, off the ground with green and white zinc, cadmium yellow triumphed in contrast to the nearest vegetation, the deadlift properly absorbed by the other colors red efficiently play their role. Basic violet, I had shunned for years, for the transparency of shadows. In retrospect, I think I should refer to the depth of the mountains of the wide-ranging Segantini applied at that claustrophobic industrial environment, but there propio I thought in my brain looking impressions spent.

Kates Playground Set Free

Refers to a work in progress 7


Oil on canvas. 40 x 50
I called this picture "Race Is When You Run", in line with my position towards the racist delirium that is affecting the currency, but from a job, or litho pencil, not memory, Toulouse Lautrec.
The design included the inimitable master of the horse's breath, his sweat and the thud of hoofs on the ground, masterful.
I wanted to remember, I took a small canvas, I left by ino quick sketch, I solved tAll painting. The view is hazardous, the horse is not elegant, at some point I stopped, something I do not quail, also without reference to the mastery of that artist.
I finished a few days ago, after weeks, and are moderately satisfied, I want to make others like this, the simplicity of the subject favors a work by instinct, even if prolonged.
The complexity of a job like that other that I'm telling, however, unbalanced and tiring.
Not that I feel unmotivated: we should have time and space to do simple jobs as they do those complicated, but with a few hours available is difficult.

during the holidays I got to work harder, looking at the work and considering the various elements, I must say that I felt so0ddisfatto only the locomotive and puffs. I have therefore taken the color of grass and plants, and their arrangement. I do not feel yet the depth of the bottom, and the space between the trees. I will try to solve with veiling, and vitalizing the sweaty metal locomotive. Even the puffs to be compiled, taking care not to become concrete, I'll try to make puffs defining the masses with the division of color, but it will be another painting, more focused on the subject, here too many items scattered attention. If it were a committee, I would already have concluded, but probably would have started on a cartoon and definitive study, varying little running. But here I wanted it to dominate the paint, and maybe it would work better on a more simple. However, the painting is a continuous journey, every painting has a story, and sometimes it seems that things are on their own that are the result of routes, perhaps for the next sitting I trovat0 satisfactory balance, it will maybe work light made with different look.
