Hank's Painting 'The Cocoon' in Acrylics
Image: While looking for an appropriate title my
grandson Norman remarked 'this looks like a cocoon'
It is so titled. This was drawn late last year
To day PPF having its blogoversary
It also invites for sketches and paintings
New blog Hank discovered recently
Different from others very challenging
To qualify as a member and stay attuned
One needs to make at least 3 submissions
In goes the first one entitled 'The Cocoon'
to total for three Fridays to gain acceptance
(55 words)
Note: One has to include 'PPF' on the image
using photoshop or other means
Submitted for PPF (Paint Party Friday)
and G-Man's Friday Flash 55
I'd never make it there, can't draw a thing at my lair lol does look like a cocoon, nicely done
ReplyDeleteYou will, of course, make it there. You do not need luck. You have the skill to be there, just as a matter of time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pakcik. There's a big crowd all having their own art blogs. Never thought I would see this.

Neat way to get the word out about this new blogsite.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, to call what you do "toying" greatly underestimates your talent, Hank. I love that picture, so vibrant... so YOU?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kerry about presenting the new site in a poem, and within the 55. BRILL! Amelita
PS I went to PPF and commented that you steered me there. Hey, it can't hurt!! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Amelita! Welcome to the club. There is a large following so much like d'Verse. Lots of talents in just one blog. And just as in d'Verse I'm sure it's going to be fun!

ReplyDeleteluv your word 'blogoversary' (◕‿◕。) have a nice weekend
ReplyDeletemuch love...
nice...i like your art hank..the flow and the lines....
ReplyDeletewhat is your inspiration for these pieces?
Hank gets worked up seeing objects and shapes ordinarily. It may be pencils,apples capsicum or even fence railings. When Hank gets inspired he'll immediately sketch an outline in a pocket sketch book that's always with him. He has also to capture a mental pic of colors by writing 'red', 'blue' etc in spaces within the sketch.
DeleteWhile drawing later, in the mind the pic is seen as a complete image with colors. It is just then a matter of transferring what is in the mind to the canvas. If Hank cannot see an image in the mind despite the sketch in the book, then the canvas will be blank. And it is something that cannot be forced..It cannot start with zero. There has to be a mental pic first. This is true in all instances whether still life, portraits, scenery, abstracts, any thing at all. Often times though, there are adjustments midway in the mental pic. The painting may remain unfinished for some while to be done later or not at all. Wonder if others do the same thing! Thanks Brian

Welcome to Paint Party Friday Hank.
ReplyDeleteNice vibrant colours….the title fits.
Annabelle : )
Lovely vibrant piece!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to PPF. You mentioned something about figuring out membership - there really is no such thing. PPF is open to anyone who would like to link to their painting. You need a blog but other than that, what you have already done is all you need to do! Some people watermark their artwork, others don't - up to you.
Great to have you join us, Hank!
Best of luck Hank....Thats really vibrant...
