Just got done, this last weekend, with an arts and crafts fair. I was busy the last month preparing for it. It went great and I had fun, but I’m also glad its over. Now, I can work on some paintings; I’ve been staring at this roll of canvas for a month in anticipation. I did start a painting last week, that I was hoping to get done to use at the fair, but I didn’t have time to finish it. Now that I do have time, I’ve changed my plans a bit for it and hopefully I will post some finished pics soon. For now, here’s a couple WIP shots:

Posted in abstract, Jason Gray, Photography with tags Jason Gray on June 3, 2011 by Jason GrayI am experimenting with trying to get a look that is close to the film series that I posted several weeks ago using digital equipment. The film prints were all hand-toned to get the color, which has been more difficult to match digitally than I would have expected.
What do you guys think; if you squint, can you tell the difference? I will be working a bit to try and get this closer (including trying to work in the film grain and getting rid of the bad, specular highlights which are a digital token).

My father Harry painted through memorial day weekend.
Harry was a reconnaissance officer in the south pacific throughout World War 2. Rarely talks about it nor his bronze star medal for bravery. He is a very special man.




His painting above. oil on board, 16″ x 20″ He may still want to tweak it a little. I think he should call it Memorial Day.

Mom and Dad.
I realized how much I miss talking painting with him and his thoughtful insight. He took a look at a painting I started months ago and gave me some valuable input on design and rhythm.
This is it:
