<span style="font-size: large;">As it grew we leave off today with this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I worked with oil thinned with turpentine. Adding some depth. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The three abstracts ended here yesterday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After adding several thin layers, I am required to end here. So the paint will set up to accept the next layers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am using oils and cold wax for this series.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Still an ugly stage but taking shape.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All three themes are for creeks on the prairie of South Dakota.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Three small South Dakota nature paintings have begun. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Each has waterways.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Is the edge of a small creek.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Shows the windings of a creek</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Is the pool of a creek.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are at the ugly stage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As the layers build some definition starts.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Adding more dark as a brown.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Many additional thin grey washes were added. I need to go slow to dry in between layers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then let’s introduce another hue, some green.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Soon some obscuring will begin and texturing.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Earlier today I added some bright washes to help define some shapes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After lots and lots of really thin washes of gray we are beginning to see some changes beginning at the top and moving over the boulders.</span><br />

I am inspired by the black hills of Custer Park. <br />
So some shapes begin to appear as well as other marks.<br />
Remember, this is an abstract, so some of what I begin might remain and some may not. <br />

Working in oils and cold wax, on canvas. <br />
A nature inspired abstract.<br />

A few weeks ago a young couple came into the Stagecoach Gallery and were inquiring on commissioning a large painting.<br />
<br />
Huge smiles from me, because a ‘young’ couple<br />
Young! ... are interested in original painted work. <br />
<br />
Do you have information for me about what you would like painted? No.<br />
Hmmmm<br />
Well no is pretty broad, let’s break this down.<br />
<br />
Our young lady has definite thoughts, a LOT different from our young fella.<br />
Let the melding begin.<br />
<br />
From our back and forth conversation and image referencing I concluded, a limited bold but muted, hazy palette.<br />
Heavy on grey and white with touches of black.<br />
For our young lady as her bold personality speaks she desires bold images, while our young man seeks calm.<br />
<br />
Our first agreement is nature inspired.<br />
<br />
Keeping with this bold personality feel, we consider abstract.<br />
After image referencing, this becomes the preferred of our young man, this style brings him peace.<br />
This style with strong boldness brings our young lady the huge personality she is seeking for her wall.<br />
<br />
Our conclusion: a nature inspired abstract!<br />
<br />
We live with amazing venues of bold nature.<br />
I love the inspiration from our states (South Dakota), Black Hills.<br />
Seems that so do they.<br />
<br />
Black Hills Abstract coming to our future.<br />
<br />

All of this is stained, ‘painted’ in other words, with crushed and powdered glass. Not traditional paints. They are permanently fused into the clear glass canvas with high temperatures of the kiln.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The very center, where QT lays is one panel. The other pieces will frame it and this project will hang in a window.</div>

<br />
In the last post about the Special Couple box we had not added any of the blue colors . Once the blue was added, it took about 3 firings in the kiln to get the colors deep enough to my liking.<br />
The blues were the last colors to add.<br />
<br />
On to building the box itself.<br />

Originally I thought I would use clear bevels but, the very clear did not appeal to me and I changed over to this milky white. Which has a bit of translucent qualities that will illuminate the lid nicely yet offer the contents a bit of privacy.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This box being a bit larger than most are that I work up, deserved a box on box lid. Meaning each, lid and bottom, are boxes but fit onto each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At this point the lid might have a hinge added but, due to the weight of this project I tried a lift off lid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added posts inside to keep the lid from sliding off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Genius right!</div>

<br />
Let me refresh you where this project begins.<br />
<br />
With drawing that I will use continually as references throughout the construction.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There are portrait drawings that are used for staining the faces for the final window. As well as reference for cutting the garments that will go in place.<br />
<br />
First the faces need to be completed before the unit can begin final stages of construction.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In the first staining the reference marks are laid on the glass. The stain is crushed glass powder that is fired at high temperatures in a kiln that melts the crushed glass into the substrate glass leaving the design.<br />
<br />
successive firings doing the same thing will darken the image.<br />
<br />

<br />
The process is continued through several firings getting the face darker.<br />

Where the piece rests at this time. On the light box, I can judge how the sun might come through and if the shading is too light still, or right.<br />
<br />
He will need another stain treatment and kiln firing but, I can begin to add more character to his features as, he is almost dark enough.<br />
<br />
I am working on the other two faces and the dove getting them to the finished stage and then we begin cutting glass for the rest of the unit.<br />
<br />
Thank you for following along.<br />
