Dancing with my shadow

This painting is one on my favourites. However, not good enough for the FCA Calgary online show.

But I just don't know what the jury doesn't like, perhaps it is the Purposeful ROTHKO effect of the background in thirds, perhaps all the beautiful hair on my granddaughter, Anyway, suggestions and comments are welcome!

 

FCA AIMAE Show in Vancouver

 "An Earful" by Tami Hort

Please visit their website to see the entire show.Federation of Canadian Artists which begins Mar 29 and goes through to April 16th 

Stormy Clouds

 Airdrie is the highest (elevation) City in Alberta and we often can see some pretty wild hail storms pass through. We seem to be on the cusp as Irricana gets its share as does Airdrie. I have the fortune to watch the clouds as they pass by the windows of my home. I can see fireworks in Calgary too, Lucky for me. Unfortunately we are on the path of planes to the airport. With Covid it sure has been quiet up in the skies except for these crazy storms.. 

Here are a few renditions of my hail storms painting.  I decided not to send to the FCA Calgary Show. Not sure if it needs a farm, a tractor or.....

Drawing Workshop( I don't know why this showed here its form a long time ago workshop with the FCA )

I can't remember the last time I ever worked in charcoal.  Using vine charcoal I rendered a self portrait.  This FCA workshop with Hermann Brandt out of Cochrane.  He had us trying our skills at drawing skulls; a very difficult task. The second day we were set free and worked on our own with our own photos. This is how much I got done in an afternoon, Will do corrections and add more darks and highlights, and fix aesthetics.
