Going to this exhibit at the Gallery of Modern Art just before the psychodrama conference really warmed me up to Matisse, or more accurately to doing my own sketching.
More images follow. I’ll put up another post with Matisse drawings I found on the net.
Just stumbled on this from a few years ago. as I’m reviewing my flickr items. Not sure if I’ve ever linked to this image here, but I just like it! I’m up here at Mt Lyford at the moment and have been looking at these hills today.
I’ve made a set of these cards: Here on Flickr
This is an early sketch in my ThousandSketches – I recall being delighted how it captured my intention!

And I’m back on Flickr – tried Zenphoto but it does not have all the functionality, and upgrading it is hard, and I think it let the hack attack into my server. So, I’ll let yahoo do it. And I have copies in Aperture.
Many of the pix in the blog are not showing up. This is because I’ve removed Zenphoto – I might put it back or I might use some other photo storage. I like having them on my server, they are all still there, but maybe Flickr will do a better job… Flickr, Google Facebook or Apple? Why I’m looking to these sites I that I don’t need to maintain them! Fight off hackers?
Its a long time ago but I thought it was a great little event at the San Francisco Apple store.
Came away with links to two artists I particularly enjoyed.
Julia Kay who has a portraitparty on flkr
Helene Goldberg .
I like these, and most of his work. There is a sense of line texture and colour that I like. His smoothing of the world and boldness. It is these qualities I seek in my work.
I’ve been doodling on the iPad, inspired by some Edvard Munch landscapes that I’ll post up in a moment. Nothing really looked right though till I passed my sketch through the Instagram app.
By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life.
Edvard Munch
More versions of these images are on my flickr site (click the image above)
Went to the apple store in San Francisco today and heard iPad artists talk about their medium. I particularly liked the work of hgberk in flckr There is also a show on in San Francisco I might try to get there next Tuesday.
Future/Canvas – the emerging medium of ipad art:
It has been just over a year since the release of the iPad and already it has inspired an exciting new world of digital art. Artists and programmers are using the iPad as a digital canvas and are creating radical new artwork that pushes the bounds of imagination. Future/Canvas showcases a variety of different artistic pursuits involving the iPad from interactive art to photography to painting. Taking place during the Apple World Wide Developer Conference, this is a must-stop destination for iPad enthusiasts who are interested in art. The original Future/Canvas was the first ever multiple-artist iPad art show held in December 2010 at The Box Factory in San Francisco. Our goals is to encourage the creation of iPad art by bringing together the diverse range of people necessary to create it in an environment that demonstrates the possibilities of the medium.
“Cool Channels”
This brush stroke, there are a few apps that do it, is wonderfully sketchy, not at all computery, and like nothing in rl. That’s what fascinates me with it. Note Nothing like it in real life, you can’t buy a paint brush to do this, it is not an emulation. The apps it comes with are primitive, but that is ok.
Another similar doodle follows:
I am doing a lot of these, I’ll add more to this post under the fold, and also make new posts from time to time.
