just help to stretch this last night. fun process. did manage to rip the back of the canvas as i stretched so then i felt it necessary to relieve myself from the stretching and begin stapling. great picture bro. Stuart likes how it looks opposite the coys. the coys look even more vibrant in person.

Awesome! I like the depth of the road as it draws up the canvas. it almost seemed like the sun was setting at one point. ha. i enjoy the slide show...and look forward to another video (time lapsed or not). I think it would be fun. The slide show was fun though, like playing that game as a kid with the two pictures and you have to find what is different.

I've gotten several questions about the painting here - I'll post more about this series soon, but it's basically a loose canvas adhered to masonite. And I think it's interesting.

Wess Foreman | Open Studio &ra comments on Painting 101 - Part 1 Prerequisites

Wess Foreman | Open Studio &ra — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 19:23:17 +0000

[...] It’s been a while since the last installment of my Painting 101 series. Not sure if anyone read the other two, but, after rereading them myself, I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. Someone, someday, might find the information helpful, so I will try my best to keep it up despite the large gaps of time that may appear between posts. The idea of this series is to provide some basics of the painting process for beginners. If this subject interests you, you might want to start with the first post of the series. [...]

Matt comments on Polo #2

Wow, wess!! That's the best polo one yet. It has the right amount of realism. There is a certain action to this one that I just can't quite place. Is it the slighty blurred lines? Or the polo player about to swing? Or the other player just coming into the frame. Or perhaps it's the stance of the horse and their riders, awkward stances that could only be the intermediary moments of animals and humans in motion? It's a bit of all of that, I figure. Bravo!

I like this one, Wess. I like the movement in it. The eye starts at the big gold figure in the front and goes to the gold of the skirt on the left, up the figure and the woman's face launches you to the horse-who is pointed across the canvas forward! another projectory is starting with the face of the big gold figure(front & center)(who is not looking at the horse) to the blue figure on the right and then off to the little gray figure back to the horse. and yet the strongest color creates a little tension to pull back to the red figure on the far right - who sends you back to the horse. very interesting! only other red is on the horses feet. the horse is in the perfect spot - plenty of room to run, yet connected with the viewers via the blue figure. cool!
