FAST PAINTING


I'm searching in the net about painting today, and looking for  some niceblog  I discovered at the top of the list:
1) Carol Marine's painting a day (http://carolmarine.blogspot.nl/)
two) A painting today (http://karinjurick.blogspot.nl/)
3)  A painting a day  (http://duanekeiser.blogspot.nl/http://)

 Duane  Keiser seems to be the inventor of this every - day - painting-style.. Many of his works are amazing, as well as Carol Marine's and Jurick's ones. I am impressed by the use of colours and light in their canvas.The way they work with light reminds me of the clean line between light and shadow in Hopper, and the whiteness of his light. My mind also goes to Georgia O'Keeffe's, a woman who's work seems to influence a great number of contemporary painters .
 Well, I like the approach of Duan Keiser at this job (see his interview: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-seed/duane-keiser-a-painting-a_b_2776043.html  ) and I really admire his work - even if I still can't 
 be in tune with this fast fast way to paint...
 I like to work by layers , on and on with small amounts of colour, letting it dry and  then receive the folowing one until they seem to find their balance, or the contrast that seems to exalt each other.
