<div style="text-align: center;">
The above painting is titled 'The Clearing', 30" x 40". This is one of the few times I can point to a painting and say "that really came out effortlessly." By 'effortlessly' I mean I knew exactly where to take the painting in each step regardless of what area I was working on, from the refined areas to the more expressive ones. There can be plenty of toiling with a painting to get things to look 'right' to me; sections that are painted, repainted, fussed over, scratched off, and redesigned, until the 'right' combination of brushwork and subject appear. Those endeavors are certainly a part of the painting process. This reworking builds a second narrative to a painting outside of the subject matter and often leads to unexpected results that can't be planned, ones that I learn so much from. However, it is nice to be able to point to a painting that contains all of that underlying integrity and also unfolded so enjoyably. </div>

This is a short video review of 2012 put out by Robert Lange Studios to showcase the great paintings that their artist's produced over the course of the year. All the artists have a few pieces in the this visual whirlwind of paint.<br />
<br />
I am continually excited by the art that is brought into the world by this tremendous set of artists. It makes me even more excited for this year.<br />

If you are in the Raleigh, NC area go see a great diverse show of art on display at Adam Cave Fine Art.<br />
The gallery represents regional, national, and international artists, photographers, and printmakers.<br />
<br />
If you can't be there in person go check out the website: <a href="http://www.adamcavefineart.com/" target="_blank">Adam Cave Fine Art</a>.<br />
<br />
I'll be showing a range of still life paintings, those are my floating dried roses in the middle of the set of images above. These artworks are my way of developing technique, unlocking different ways to apply the paint, trying new color schemes, and just plain exploration. They keep painting fresh for me as I work on larger narrative paintings.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Welcome to 2013, albeit I am probably a little late in that. Regardless, welcome to the new year and thank you for dropping into my little corner of the internet. The year rolls on with a studio upgrade that is shown below. No, not the bulldog but the wall easel I built behind her. I got the idea from from an Alyssa Monks interview that also showed a couple images of where she makes her great paintings. Her studio walls had 8' lengths of 2"x4"'s attached vertically onto the wall every few feet throughout the length of the wall. On these lengths were round post holes drilled in every foot or so to hold the canvas in place, which can be moved based on the size of the canvas. It all seems very adjustable. Something I like as a painter. Give me options!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my case here the length between the studs in the wall didn't permit the same type of system much to my chagrin, which would have been easier to build. As an old warehouse space the studs were measured every 4 feet. Meaning my wall easel system could only hold a painting larger than 4 feet, based on how the holes would have to be drilled into the vertical lengths. My solution was: Create a series of cross braces, with the same accompanying post holes, to hold all manner of sizes since I don't paint large canvases very often. This way the easel can handle small works like the 18" x 18" in the photos up to 6' x 6' canvases. I can then move the canvas up and down every eight inches to paint large areas more easily. Or, if I am working on an area of detail and need the canvas at a certain height, it's now possible and more comfortable. Is it fool proof? Can it be adjusted to any situation? Probably not, but I have to see what type of problems I run into as I use it. Lastly, there is room for more cross braces further up the wall if I need it to hold a giant canvas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is already proving to be very useful. All in all it took maybe $50 for the wood (4) eight foot lengths of 2" x 4", the screws, a 1" drill bit, a 4' length of a 1"round dowel, and 12 L brackets. Not too bad. I had a drill, a circular saw, and the extra wall paint to finish it off. </div>

It's a very nice surface, the paint really slides around and makes it unpredictable for more spontaneous handling of the paint. Has been harder to get it to do what I want, which has forced me to really be connected to the image. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Subject matter wise, a horse and rider and a woman with a boat will be two main elements in a few larger oil paintings. As you will see I have done some develop and may not be over with finding the right motif. More to come. </div>

I wanted to thank all of you who came out to the Open Studios event and passed through my studio. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was great to be around and talk with many other creatives, and of course, those of you who keep the lights on for us artists, the collectors. It seemed to be another tremendous turnout. I look forward to next year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For those of you who grabbed my card and were interested in the smaller works (like above) or for information on upcoming prints or larger originals, please email me at: joshbflint@gmail.com. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The two pieces here are are oil on mylar. They are nice small dramatic works in an of themselves but will also serve the creation of large oil paintings. It was nice to display this type of work that often goes unseen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Check back for more of these types of paintings in the very near future. </div>

The piece below is an 8.5" x 8.5" oil and graphite on Mylar. This is a new surface to work on for me and has revealed some intriguing results. The mylar is slippery with the oil and tends to require finesse when moving the paint around. What I think is unique about this approach is the closeness to painting but firmly maintains a rougher edge to it, aligning it with the gouache studies. It seems to be placed firmly in between the two, which is exciting. </div>

<br />
The top image is a preliminary study done for the painting titled " The Reunion," a 30"x30" on canvas. In this particular case I have worked on mylar, a translucent plastic surface, that lends itself nicely to the touch of oil paint. The surface responds to all manner of medium but in this study my choices were graphite and oil. The combination allowed me to bridge the divide between the monochromatic graphite pencil and not go as far as a full blown oil painting. It was this quality found in between the mediums that resulted in a newness of materiality and results. A charm was created independent of either. This painting and others can be viewed at <a href="http://www.robertlangestudios.com/" target="_blank">Robert Lange Studios</a> till the end of the month. Jump on over and look through the show.<br />
<br />
In addition to the more narrative work I also have a series of still-lifes that continue to enrich my painting practice. They were initially started as a means of a break between larger paintings to work from life and expand my visual approach. They've taken on a life of their own. So much so that I had a nice write up by a collector/galleryist/designer from Toronto, Canada. The author is discussing what she looks for in buying artwork and has three principles when considering a purchase. Nice personal account that can shed light on the word of art and commerce. Good food for thought. <a href="http://www.marilynharding.com/2012/04/28/2379/#more-2379" target="_blank">Here</a><br />
<br />
Thank you all for leaving your thoughts in the comments section. I'm terrible at responding to each but that doesn't mean they aren't greatly respected because they are. As always drop me a line if you have any questions. <br />
<br />
Till next time.<br />

A reminder that tonight my solo show is opening up at Robert Lange Studios in Charleston,SC. I unfortunately will not be in attendance and thus will miss all the wonderful people who will be there. If you are in the area make your way over and look at the work. Then come back and send me a comment, good, bad, or ugly. Check them out on Facebook or even better go to the live cam on their website to watch the event from the comfort of your own home. It'll be from 5 - 8 pm EST.<br />

I figured I would finish them before the end of the year. So now as I build towards my one man show I will be putting up more process laden posts versus final images, at least for a month or two. That doesn't mean I won't post any paintings but not the ones that will be used for promotion and will need to be under wraps till early March-ish. <br /><br />To this point I think with the internet age of sharing everything via multimedia sites and virtual friends its important as a creative to hold some things back. Keep them to you and only you as you think through them and not have others see or give feedback till you are ready. Furthering that thought, for most painters the creative process is often a private intimate thing that has become more and more public with online demos, blogs, and ateliers in abundance. All of which I am appreciative of and find very interesting. However, retaining some of that inward reflection on your work as a painter is crucial for honest development. Take it for what you will in this new year. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvgPNA0hgjYhC9mwYnQhimff7th0NSR2zTKgp6NGZ-k9Jsm46lDik5nrjcmy6khN-by0P1MNsv-2AMGjWGwqnJZvkRbFO5vpsyKQ7HSEegGEiiB3dl94QNd-oNmRX0Sa4uC6FW/s1600/Future+MemoryWEB.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvgPNA0hgjYhC9mwYnQhimff7th0NSR2zTKgp6NGZ-k9Jsm46lDik5nrjcmy6khN-by0P1MNsv-2AMGjWGwqnJZvkRbFO5vpsyKQ7HSEegGEiiB3dl94QNd-oNmRX0Sa4uC6FW/s320/Future+MemoryWEB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693512924518008050" /></a><br /><br />Future Memory - 15" x 10" - oil on illustration board mounted on panel<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFBJYBXMYJI9KgoW5_6DnbR2_VWLt24YmGqgD7b3_8QoOyj76OZovA5JFgV_KHoKYByz3xnElFHF_vbcJUFZjeJmML4dsk1fFSqcxo83AsLd0gklOdGPchAbLmTd8LfchEDtSK/s1600/SilentCitiesWEB.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 319px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFBJYBXMYJI9KgoW5_6DnbR2_VWLt24YmGqgD7b3_8QoOyj76OZovA5JFgV_KHoKYByz3xnElFHF_vbcJUFZjeJmML4dsk1fFSqcxo83AsLd0gklOdGPchAbLmTd8LfchEDtSK/s320/SilentCitiesWEB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693512926723333938" /></a><br /><br />Silent Cities - 12" x 12" - oil on panel<br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhopkpKsXPqRUoH-KYKXHMqLfLGMsWvY-K2qO6Ft8VlmCcdXGKgDQGeRs_SIV-iLn9I-ZhJc5reJzO3vtwepdhRJ-AZjN7xiaVIMoTteZ9pMN9kF54guuLzEEqsl5E44iJSRcJb/s1600/TheLanguageOfWeatherWEB.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhopkpKsXPqRUoH-KYKXHMqLfLGMsWvY-K2qO6Ft8VlmCcdXGKgDQGeRs_SIV-iLn9I-ZhJc5reJzO3vtwepdhRJ-AZjN7xiaVIMoTteZ9pMN9kF54guuLzEEqsl5E44iJSRcJb/s320/TheLanguageOfWeatherWEB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693512940062019810" /></a><br /><br />The Language of Weather - 5" x 7" - oil on panel<br /><br /><br />Thank you all who follow this little blog here and leave comments.
