Whirlwind, Survived
by Cooper on 12/7/2009 10:01:20 PM

Greetings,

Welcome to the Cooper studio. I am here, post-blog-vacation, to let you know that I survived the most recent, albeit self-imposed, whirlwind.

The finale of the art show season is almost always the University of Iowa Thieves Art Market. This year was not an exception. I had a painting that needed to be done....... You get the picture.

But! It was so very worth it. A wealth of patrons with lovely complementary words, as well as patrons with Visa cards. Who could ask for a better season end? Thank you Iowa Cityians, one and all.

As for the painting that caused me to be AWOL from writing here, you ask? It's varnish dried just in time for it to make the trip to Iowa City, AND it found a family in Iowa City as well! I love when that happens.

The bad news is the good camera was at college on the only possible afternoon for a photo-shoot. We tried with the handy little HP, but results are minimal. Bear with me, I'll post what little of the painting we captured, so you can at least get an idea of what I was working on so studiously:

Curb Side Parking, an acrylic painting on canvas, measuring an ample 36 x 42 inches. The main part of the image the HP messed up was of course, the value structure. The shadowed area of the porch is really significantly darker with more violet. The sidewalk area in the real painting is much lighter, and kind of salmon colored. So I enlist you to use your imagination in that department. And no worries anyway, it's new owners seem quite pleased :) After all, they have the original!

Later, Cooper
