Hi everyone, thanks Ralph for asking the question about enlarging your images here on the blog. It's very easy to do. Next time you post an image , do the following:
-go to your dashboard
-click on 'create post' or 'new post'
-when the window pops up fill in the info and click on the image icon in the toolbar
-another window will open with the parameters and file download buttons
-on the right, you will notice 'image sizes' with 3 possible options
-select 'large'
-you may also want to check the box that says "use every time"
-submit your info and publish and your done!
Any more questions or 'how to's with the blog, please let me know.
Cheers, Brian

Comments welcome. Brian

THE TREK HOME
Did this little one last night (16x20" acrylic/canvas). It started out being just another snow scene which I'm getting a little tired of and probably you are too. Anyways, the painting just wasn't working and I kept visualizing a red house in the background, but kept insisting it not be there, cause I wanted just raw nature. Anyways, after a bit of a frustrating evening, I thought what the heck and put the house in there and the figure walking up the drive just for fun. that turned it into a romantic little painting that I'm quite fond of the more I look at it. Hope you like it too. Comments welcome. Brian

MY STREET
Here's a little 16x20" done this afternoon. This was the view down my street a few days ago after a big snowfall. I wanted to try a little something other than just snow and trees. Not sure how I am about it, but will live with it for a bit. Comments welcome. Brian
Hi there, I have recently done Brian's workshop. This is one of the images I was working with during the workshop. I am experimenting with color with this version, it is small, 10x14. I did this one to see what happens with colors and how to get specific colors before I get to the big one ( which is still in its value stage). I did not do much with the faces or the hands, other than remove some of the paint to give the impression of the shapes and features.I would appreciate any comments anyone may have.
I have enjoyed seeing what people are doing and posting to the blog. - Joy

River Bank
Here's one I did today, from a walk last weekend. I will post them seperately, but they go together. They don't post so well. Encaustic 6"X42"
18x24" acrylic. Even though I am a Christian, I never in a million years would have thought I'd even consider trying this... but a local church sponsored an unusual contest and for some reason it caught my attention. Partly, I was curious to see how this style would translate. Partly, I don't know that I've ever seen a contemporary painting depticting Jesus that I didn't find ridiculous. In the end, it was a fun exercise and I like the result. This is the baptism of Christ by John the Baptist. I'm sure there's room for improvement. C&C welcome.
