As an adjunct art professor and fine artist, I make more money than I know what to do with. It has always been a thorn in my side, but just recently I found something to do with it. I purchased an ocean going freighter...cool name, blazing red hull...my money has been wisely invested. But do you know what?...my friends don't believe that I make that level of income to invest in this bad boy. Well I do!! And to prove it, I have painted an acrylic portrait of Globe Trekker docked at the Port of Sacramento and ready to take on a shipment of wood chips. I am truly a happy man.
thanks for showing the development of this painting in pictures, it's helpful, like watching a demo.
ReplyDeleteAs an adjunct professor, I'm rolling in dough too!. May be I should invest in one of the ships that come to Chicago through the St. Lawrence Seaway.
ReplyDeleteI have a canoe, in case the levee breaks. (No matter where you live in Sacramento county, it's wise to have a boat.)
ReplyDeleteHi David,
ReplyDeleteThat proves it. You rich painter you. Sure wish I owned one of those.
Super painting.
Take care,
Barbara
I like seeing the progression, too! I wish I had your money problems!!
ReplyDeleteA painting is worth a thousand words and even more a million dollars..
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Globe Trekker! And thanks so much for the process photos, very instructive. Glad you bought a colorful vessel, no point in owning something boring.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcomed painterchum.
ReplyDeleteLifeartist (Davida), I think that would be a wise investment!
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct Jan, and this is an El Nino year.
ReplyDeleteI knew you would believe in my absolute honesty, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteLauren, Just become an adjunct art prof., and your money worries will be over!
ReplyDeleteYou got that right, Milind. Now if only my paintings were worth millions. I'd buy another ocean freighter. Perhaps an oil tanker.
ReplyDeleteBobbi, I wouldn't be caught dead owning a boring black hulled tanker. Nosiree!
ReplyDeleteI love your painting; it makes me think of the Houston Ship Channel.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be at the Houston ship channel painting freighters and any hippos that may be in the water, and don't deny, Leslie, that there aren't any hippos in Houston. I've seen your paintings, Texas cowgirl!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever come to Chicago I will take you down to 'Harvard on the Rocks': Navy Pier. I was in the last class to attend the University of Illinois at Navy Pier. It was quite an experience and I look back on it with fondness. When the school was moved to a gleaming new facility, a certain comraderie was lost. My age is showing!
ReplyDeleteGrand painting, David!
I'll take you up on that offer if I ever visit the windy city, Lifeartist (Davida). If I do make it to Chicago it will be via Globe Trekker. I'll invite you on board for a tour.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we are paying our teachers enough. You should have the Queen Mary.
ReplyDeleteBill (Onpainting), In our culture, there is a large host of professions that we value way, way more than educators when it comes to M O N E Y.
ReplyDeleteHow that smeared mass of orange becomes the finished painting just grabs me by the throat!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the unlikely process to that finished piece which is terrific.
David, Thanks for this setp by setp painting lesson, I've enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI'll visite you mor eften.
Greattings.
Enrique.
Comrade Bonnie, that's the joy of opaque mediums.
ReplyDeleteEnrique. You are welcomed and glad you stopped by!
