"Shadow is the obstruction of light. Shadows appear to me to be of supreme importance in perspective, because, without them opaque and solid bodies will be ill defined; that which is contained within their outlines and their boundaries themselves will be ill-understood unless they are shown against a background of a different tone from themselves."

-Leonardo da Vinci

"Study how water flows in a valley stream, 

smoothly and freely between the rocks.  

Also learn from holy books and wise people.  

Everything- 

even mountains, rivers, plants and trees- 

should be your teacher."

-Morihei Ueshiba

BIG NEWS!

It has been advised to me that I try auctioning my paintings online.  Paintings will be posted on Daily Paintworks weekly.  You can bid starting at the shockingly low price of $100.  This way the market can set the price for paintings instead of me or galleries guessing what the patrons want.  

Today marks the first auction.  You can bid on the 3 paintings on the site for just one week.

I have also created a new formal website:  www.azhirfineart.com.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Camp Washington Carver

Oil on Canvas

I created this painting on site at Camp Washington Carver in West Virginia while attending the Clifftop Music Festival this year.  It was a hot day... one section of this hill hadn't been mowed so it was rich with tall grasses and wildflowers.  The small pond at the right was dark muddy purple and tucked between the trees.  Bugs bit at my ankles the whole time I painted this but it was worth it to capture this scene!  I took a photo of the scene as well and it was amazing to see how much more color variation I could see on site than in the photo.  This is why, if you can, painting on site creates a richer painting.  You can smell the wind and feel the heat!  Summer.

"It was a splendid summer morning and it seemed as if nothing could go wrong."

-John Cheever
