Bottles by Dave Froude

Title: Bottles
Medium: Acrylic on 9 x 12 Canvas panel

So bottles it is,This started out great but quickly changed direction, when I set this one up I loved the coloured light shining through the bottles so I offset this to the right so it would show up. My light source was so close to the bottles they were heating up something fierce, but it was the only way the light would show through the bottle in the back and the red in the middle looks great. I was almost finished this one earlier today but realized I had lost the structure in some parts and had to correct it which caused some other issues but life's like that.

So on my way home from work today I stopped at the local art supply store and finally purchased Oil colours, water mixable of course can't wait to try them. wish me luck.

Til next time

COPYING OTHER ARTISTS

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard this and seen this on the internet. Being a curator as well as an artist I have come across this too many times! Many upcoming artists seem to think that it is just ok to copy other artists works and concepts. Although artists do not "own" concepts, among the artists community this is definitely not what artists do. Artists work very hard to come up with concepts that other artists are not doing. This is very difficult to do. So to have another artist think it is just ok to run with that artists concept hurts the artist and only makes that artist look bad to collectors and the artists community. It will surely ruin your reputation! Is that what you want? If they would look around and see all the beauty that God has created they should have no problem coming up with their own concepts. Open your eyes! Be your own person / artist. Paint from your heart. Artists are working even harder now in this economy to make a living. As far as I am concerned, copying another artist is "stealing"! Remember this....Do unto others as you would have them do to you!

“My belief is that it is most important for an artist to develop an approach and philosophy about life - if he has developed this philosophy, he does not put paint on canvas, he puts himself on canvas.”
