<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">D</span></b>aily I wake up and find myself asking how do I hold all that is dear to me, that which gives me hope, in the midst of my feelings of loss and grieving. So much of who I am is connected to what I have experienced with friends and family.<br />
<br />
I go through my routines and then settle in with my cup of coffee and begin painting. My painting time most often is prayer time. Considering my own loss and need to hold on to hope I find my thoughts directed to the book of Job.<br />
<br />
Please don't jump to conclusions - I am not claiming that my loss is on Jobs level, but the book of Job, given an open mind, shows a lot about loss and grieving and our human response to it. I get real excited when I remember <span style="font-size: x-large;">J</span>ob 38 when God says <span style="font-size: large;">"Why do you talk so much when you know so little."</span><br />
So I continue with my prayers for you and for me and I continue painting.<br />

This is when I created my first watercolor travel kit attached it to a canvas board and found my water brush and began painting each day on the bus.</span><br />

At least that is what it was like growing up. I always forgot my troubles and watched and painted my world in March April and May. <div>
Poppy Festival</div>
<div>
Events to raise money for important causes</div>
<div>
selling wholesale posters and prints and finding new businesses that want my art</div>
<div>
in-spite of all of this I still find myself wide eyed and painting this spring.</div>

An amazing lady and I am thankful she is in my life. Several years ago she purchased a notecard I had made and placed on consignment with Handcrafts Unlimited in Georgetown Texas. She loved the longhorn image and wanted to locate me to ask if I was interested in licensing the image for a counted cross stitch kit. She searched for me on the internet and found my contact information.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Keep the white space has continued to grow and
develop. I first envisioned KTWS when people on the bus would smile and say to
me “I always wanted to learn to paint in watercolor”, they said it as if it was
unattainable - outside of their reach. I wanted to be able to show each one of
them how, but we all had to go to our jobs as wait staff, janitors, and parking

Saturday morning I will be at The Monument Market at 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. demonstrating my Keep The White Space<span style="font-size: xx-small;">TM</span> Kits. Bluebonnets, Grape Clusters, Longhorns, a Terrier, Flowers in a Vase...come see what I have been working on, This will be my <u>First Coming Out Party</u>.<br />
<br />
At 9:00 to 12:00 Plein Air Austin Group will be painting landscapes at The Blue Hole, right down from the El Monumento. If you like to watch people do art - you have hit the jack-pot with Saturday.<br />
<br />
Both will be within a few blocks of each other and Saturday morning should be very nice. To get your juices running I'm posting a recent video I did of me painting.<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4hailAILjg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4hailAILjg</a><br />
You can leave your sound off if you watch this, I had a script but it seemed to not be anyplace in sight once I started painting. It is a nice little painting to watch, I hope you take a minute.<br />

My last post was the first part of October 8th 2014 with the picture of my Tronie with the words of how frazzled I felt. Take that and multiply it by days since that update and that is how I am today.</div>

I have created a product that will be sold by me on-line and in some of the stores that carry my art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is what the package design looks like right now....evolving is the name of the game.</div>

The first kits to be available in the stores will be a Longhorn and then a Bluebonnet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kit has everything you need. You can purchase it, fill your waterbrush, grab a paper towel and go to the park and sit and do a painting..Now that is what the Buspaintings artist always had in mind, just for you. So far everyone that has tested the product has been successful and taken home a painting they did that they were proud of, many frame and send me photos and tell me about who it is a gift for or where they hung it on their own wall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you are interested in testing images for me, I will be glad to bring you into the loop. Right now I have longhorns, bluebonnets, grape clusters, 2 different owls, lots of different flowers, a palm tree, a Christmas tree, cardinals - red birds, a robin, a St Bernard. Let me know your fancy. </div>

For the last 3 months I have dedicated myself to working on long term art/business goals, an exciting time because I am very close to my efforts coming into fruition. During this time I have had very little time to dedicate to my income producing business such as teaching and art supplies sells. The times in my art career when this happens, when I need money, I begin to look at the ways artist in history have made a living from their art. My favorite is the story about Rembrandt and his fellow artist. The story goes this way. Rembrandt would think of a painting he wanted to paint and it would have lots of important looking people in it and lots of unimportant people in it as well.<br />
<br />
Knowing that the community would want to hang his painting in a prominent place in the community he would take his idea to an important leader in the community such as the mayor. My imagination can conjure up a picture in my mind of Rembrandt standing in the presence of Mayor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelis_de_Graeff" title="Cornelis de Graeff">Cornelis de Graeff</a> and telling him all about the painting he was envisioning.<br />
<br />
And then ask, "Would you pay me $$ to paint you in the most prominent place in my next painting?" <br />
<br />
Of course the mayor was willing, so the mayor would become a patron. Then Rembrandt would be off to the banker with the same offer and the banker would become a patron. With each offer the most prominent figure would move according to the highest bidder , but everyone that was willing to pay were given important places in the painting. As many important figures in the town that would pay, this equaled the number of important people in his painting.<br />
Rembrandt's paintings have much less desirable figures, such as the cadaver in <u>The Anatomy Lesson</u> painting. But Rembrandt still needed a model so he had a name for these people in his paintings. They were called Tronies, because they were a patron with out the pay.<br />
<br />
I often imagine what the response would be if I tried to raise money the way Rembrandt did. Mayor Ross are you interested in being in a prominent place in one of my paintings? <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This Years Foals, by Kathleen McElwaine</div>
<br />
I developed <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/201805243/step-by-step-guide-to-painting-a-8x10?ref=shop_home_active_10" target="_blank">"Keep The White Space"</a> with the hope that I could teach painting in a way that is easy to follow and with each painting you are successful.<br />
<br />
What I find is when I'm interested in learning something, I might go to the local library or to the internet. On the internet I can watch video's, read blogs. We learn from the videos and the reading but still want to learn application.<br />
<br />
Then I am told by my students they go to a store to purchase the needed art supplies. At the store they find themselves standing in the isle at the Art Supply Store pondering which colors, which paper, which paint brush. They might seek help from others in the isle or a store employee, they make decisions and they purchase. They go home all ready to paint, logically set the materials out and begin to paint. Most often you are feeling creative, assured of the ability to paint something you have watched being painted and might expect some degree of success. But what you get is muddy, wet paper, void of color or design.<br />
<br />
People often ask me How long did it take you to paint that, as they point to a painting I am showing. I'm not sure exactly what they are asking me, but what I tell them is the truth that I understand.<br />
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">That painting took me 40 years. </span>Because, I could not have painted the last one I painted without painting all the previous ones. People sometimes call it talent. I call it a gift and I give God Thanks daily for that gift. I also give Him Thanks for the patience and dedication and desire to practice that gift.<br />
<br />
So back to the muddy wet paper. I want to suggest at this point that you have too much to learn to expect success.<br />
Your materials are unfamiliar, often you were not directed to purchase the correct materials.<br />
Keep The White Space, teaches painting the way I learned to paint. I was 9 years old. My publication teaches how to paint at any age. The building blocks of learning that may be applied methodically and will lead to success.<br />
<br />
When I learned...I was taught to learn from <b><span style="font-size: large;">one teacher at a time</span></b>, <b><span style="font-size: large;">with quality materials.</span></b><br />
I am suggesting that each decision that needs to be made when you are learning to paint is a teacher. Because as you paint you will always be making decisions, each of which will change with each new painting, so I am suggesting that you learn from one teacher at a time as I did as a 9 year old child.<br />
The teacher today is ORIENTATION - look at your subject and consider the orientation of your paper. Is the painting going to work best as a -<br />

I am not suggesting that you paint <u>This Years Foals</u>, but if you want to learn to paint I would like you to consider<span style="font-family: Arial;"> purchasing my signature Watercolor LapTop Easel, a portable painting kit that allows you freedom to paint anywhere and anytime your schedule allows. The Watercolor LapTop Easel includes all of the ARTIST QUALITY PAINT, BRUSH, and PAPER. Colors are held by a box with pallet adhered to a board. The board becomes the easel. Board sitting on top of your lap when you are in a sitting position enables the user to paint with a loose, sketchy motion, because the board is at arm's length. I enjoy painting in this manner in the car, on a plane, on a train or sitting in a chair.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I find it important to talk about my art. What, why and how. Can you
imagine how if artist were required to write a statement answering what,
why and how - just how much better the art around us would be. Artist
should be accustom to this step.</span>buspaintings.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05130907598684157240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6144215122288523391.post-22864252416368804482014-03-08T05:11:00.000-06:002014-03-08T05:11:02.233-06:00 <br />

When I give an art class to a child I also want an adult taking the class. Since I teach private sessions this happens easily, first an adult takes a class or workshop from me and they see the value of offering the same thing to a child in their life. Teaching in this manner, child and interested adult, I find, I am able to direct the artistic future in the household. I teach ways to encourage the child as well as teach methods to play and practice art. The adult is often a Grandma, an aunt or a parent and they also participate
in the class. During the class I ask questions and learn interest and art habits. I use vocabulary that encourages creative thought, words of discovery about the interest and direction the
child shows. I provide child and adult watercolor paint, paint brushes, and paper and we all begin to dabble in color. I start and this always seems to be enough... and then I begin to explain how to care for a paint brush and why. I talk about primary colors and secondary colors and a lot of other fundamentals that everyone may know but when I offer the discussion they become building blocks. </div>

Light
and dark, values, primary colors, design are a few words that I’m not likely to
use with children. But if I show them examples giving definitions, this gives understanding they can begin to build. I introduce the fact that the art they are working on “is only a piece of paper”. I want the goal to become
learning, self-teaching rather than accomplishment of a masterpiece. </div>

With each class I teach, adults and children, I am listening
for the students to tell me where they are in their art interest – I translate this
into individual goals. I want to show how to plan and build a
painting. I show them a finished painting and I talk about the layers that make
up the end result that you now visually see. The goal is to build towards the masterpiece with each painting.</div>

It was always a rare instance when I found myself sitting in the front seat of the car with my mother at the wheel and no siblings to take her attention. These were the times that she would share with me her love of trees and tree lined streets. As she drove past or under the canopy of the trees I could see the effects of light and shadow in my view. As I was being entertained by the view she would describe the trees as if they were her friend, someone that she knew well.<br />
This tree is a a country road tree that now stands proud in a neighborhood and each time I pass it I think about what a good friend it has become to me.<br />
