Welcome to M.E. BAILEY ART . . . .

Here you will find adventures in painting. . . . Victories, absolute defeats, frustrations, highs, lows, lessons learned, commentary and thoughts from me and other artists.

As an art instructor, I don't wish to hide the fact that I crash and burn often. I will always be learning. So, it all gets shown here . . .good and bad. Every painting we do counts in the learning and experience process. The failures actually are much better teachers than successes. Every piece made is a teacher. That's the fun of it: the challenge to learn.

SEARCH FOR A WORD IN THE BOX TO THE RIGHT: COLOR, VALUE, PERSPECTIVE, IDEAS, MUSE, PLEIN AIR. . .ETC . . . .YOU'LL FIND PLENTY OF PAINTINGS AND IDEAS AS A RESULT. hAVE FUN!

Another Day in Sunshine

"Tree Study"
oil on linen panel, 8" x 10"
Here is a piece done yesterday en plein air. This tree has appeared before in this blog . . .very early on. This tree is very unique and beautiful with silvery bark and twisted arms. I like visiting her and watching the light bounce around inside of her. The dappled light on the ground is still a bit mysterious to me. Am going to have to study it more and paint it more before I fully grasp what is going on there.
Heavy, dense fog today prohibited any painting out side. Maybe I better start playing with that a little bit, since it is so common here.
Until tomorrow. . . . .

Very nice. Gorgeous colors in the shadows and reflections. Trees are so full of life. Tree have such character, I never tire of them.
