21 Energy Rising© Win Dinn Acrylic on canvas 8" x 24" |
It's like trying to photograph quicksilver with all the foil bits in there (Meg, I'm blaming that on you!), but I thought you might like to see some closeups anyway.
While you're watching it, please subscribe to my channel and encourage all your friends to do so...I'm on a mission to use up all the leftovers in the world (I can hear my mother talking; can you?).
Just in case you're looking for some more tutorials, I encourage you to check out my tutorial page at the top of the blog. There are links to videos and other tutorials that can get those creative play juices trackin' like a freight train.
That's it for me this week - what have you been up to? Let me know in the comments below, and feel free to share a link to your post to do a show and tell.
Wow - this one seems quite emotional Win - lots of energy and movement. It must have been an interesting course!
ReplyDeleteIt was a first rate challenge, Val - very high energy, profound and mind-and-heart-opening. If you want to get your creative juices flowing, it's the bomb!
DeleteI was going to say the same thing as Val. A very energetic and "hot" painting! I enjoyed the video too and was looking forward to your signature cinematic soundtrack, which is always very uplifting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Zsuzsa, both for the painting and the video comment. I love the excitement in that soundtrack as well - he's (see end credits) a fantastic Russian composer.
DeleteHi Win, these are 'Red Hot' fabulous colours. Oh and yes I will be using the technique again that I used on the bag probably for a card and I've started taking photographs of the stages in making so yes you will get a tutorial. Happy creative week, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angela, and I'm delighted to hear you're working on a tutorial for that technique - something more for me to look forward to!
DeleteHi Win had to pop back after reading your message. I wish that they would invent a way for us to be transported magically to each other then I could share all that lovely new stash with you but for now you will just have to watch me use it Lol! Sending big hugs, Angela xXx
DeleteWouldn't that be lovely thing, Angela - I've been waiting for a teleportation machine since they first aired Star Trek oh-so-many-years-ago! We'd have SO much fun. Hugs from Canada, my friend.
DeleteJust love those flecks of teal in there, Win. So glad you did close-ups so we can see them better. Looks like you'll be processing that challenge for a while yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracy - and I most certainly will be doing a lot of processing in the coming weeks. It was an invigorating experience!
DeleteThis one sizzles with energy Win. Very interesting color and texture mix.
ReplyDeleteI agree on all counts, Laura, and while well out of my comfort zone, it certainly speaks to the challenge. :D
DeleteThe colours are so vibrant........... my first thoughts was the fires we had during the summer, then a bond fire and I could actually hear the crackling. I agree, there is so much movement. Stunning❣️
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Esme...it was fun to do, and as you can tell, a high energy piece. It reminded me, too, of the fires this summer, and a host of other fire-related happenings in my life. Lots to process. ;-)
DeleteWow - an amazing painting - fanulous colours and texture - gorgeous, can believe how great the challenge was for you! And I love your new tutorial video Win Dinn! Great!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs and happy weekend!
Susi
Thanks, Susi, on all counts. And thanks for taking the time to watch the video - I deeply appreciate that! xo
DeleteSimply gorgeous, your "Energy Rising" painting reminds me of our fabulous red rock canyons, your paintings have such great texture and vivid color. I enjoyed all your smooshing and squirting on Youtube I didn't have time to watch everything but rest assured I will return.
ReplyDeleteThis week I have been enjoying the Autumn colors and mourning their quick demise but It occurred to me that if they were around long term they would soon become commonplace and unappreciated. God knows best.
Have a Happy Halloween do you do Halloween in Canada? Either way have a Happy.
Thanks for you kind words, Deann, and for stopping by to check out and subscribe to my channel - lovely to see you there! You're absolutely right about the fall colour; it would soon lose its lustre if that were our only season. On a road trip yesterday to visit my grandson for his first birthday in Kelowna, I could see the larch trees here in their glory, with the formerly deep green needles now turned to a flaming orange. The needles will drop within days and the landscape will lie dormant until the spring greening. Won't we be excited, once again, about another colour palette?!
DeleteWow Win!
ReplyDeleteThat painting is beyond cool! I am so happy you shared the closeups,such glorious colors and textures, I can almost feel from here!
Happy fall-hope life is sweet in your new home!
sending love and hugs,Jackie
Thanks, Jackie - it was most certainly fun to do, especially with all that energy pushing me. :D Life is most certainly sweet here in Creston; it's been a wonderful fall, and I'm looking forward to what I hope will be a (mostly) snowless winter. :D Huge hugs and happy creating, my friend!
DeleteBEAUTIFUL painting, my dear lady.
ReplyDeleteThank you soooooooo much for the great video tutorial, Win. Be sure that I will follow your advices for my paints left overs. Kisses, my friend.
Thanks for commenting, Mia - seems like Blogger has gone a bit awry on this post, so I can't reply directly to you. I look forward to seeing your takes on the leftover paint, my friend!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Win.
