Easter Morning

The easiest thing in the world is to say, "you can do this," or "I can do that!"
One of the hardest things is to get started doing whatever we say we can do.
Still, the hardest of all?
Following through and continuing to do things days, months and even years after. 
I hope I can do a little better then I have been with this blog.
I think the key here is simply the "KISS" ... keeping it simple silly!
I had to work Easter Sunday morning, but there was an amazing sunrise which I 
was able to photograph from the top of the condo where I work. Enjoy!

Website Changes & New Focus Part 2

Beach Romance, 16x20 Pointillist Painting This is the second part of a short 2 part post.

I thought I should also explain why I no longer planned on painting as a Pointillist painter. As a result, my Pointillist art will no longer be a focus on my website at, https://edmccarthyart.com.   For many years, prior to painting as a Romantic Realist, I painted using a post-impressionist style called, Pointillism.

Pointillism, was the first style to come about after Impressionist. It is a technique whereby paint is applied closely together using tiny dots, daubs and/or dashes. Mixing dots of specific colors can create a new color. These new colors are not produced physically o...

What's In A Name Part II

I was asked by several friends if that really was a painting or a photograph that I posted on Facebook and on my website. Well, the following images are a sequence of shots that basically amount to a demonstration of the construction of how this painting was put together. OK. This is just a peek at me working at the easel, but not on the painting under discussion.  I work with acrylics on canvas, or hardboard panels. I'm also sorta anal about keeping a fairly neat studio.   This is the painting I'm discussing. I prefer to work in layers.  My feeling is that this is how the world we see, really exists. I start with the sky way in the distance, and just like reality,  I add the next closest layer, distant clouds, mist, etc.  and move  progressively closer to the viewer.  No clouds in the piece, but a very definite haze surrounding the sun. Here  I begin building up thin layers of haziness in the atmosphere...
