I want to try to make the work (and mistakes) I'm undertaking relatable to my students, so I thought I'd share a recent change of plan I exacted on a painting.<br />
<br />
I last wrote about painting along Runnemede Avenue in Lansdowne. I'm still painting there, and had planned to do another canvas to go along with this piece to create a diptych:<br />

<br />
So I got as far as what you see above, but two things happened. <br />
<br />
One was that I wanted to include the entire building (a duplex) as opposed to cropping it, in part because the architecture fascinates me, as well as the two different shades of green in which the building is painted. I also noticed that the forsythias had begun to bloom and was imagining that I would like their yellow color agains the green structure.<br />
<br />
The second thing that happened was that I heard the weather forecast: we were due for snow. Possibly a lot of snow. If there is one thing that I love (and don't often get to paint) it's snow. So I let go of the idea of creating a diptych and decided to make an independent canvas. I've noticed that <span style="text-align: center;">I have a default scale that I tend to use for buildings, so it really forced me to concentrate to get everything small enough to fit on my canvas. </span><br />

The more I think about it, though, this info probably makes the most sense on my <a href="http://www.alycegrunt.com/">www.alycegrunt.com</a> blog, so here it is, after visiting all of my blogs and being slightly edited. <br />

Currently I am on a sabbatical working on a painting project. My proposal aims to model the AP studio art exam by developing a body of work similar to what AP students are required to do. In addition to painting, I have been rebuilding my teaching website (msgrunt.com) and my artwork website (alycegrunt.com). This has required extensive reorganizing of my photo library (over 12,000 images), most of which had been organized by albums in the old iphoto program, only to loose all of the albums when iphoto was phased out and ‘photos’ became the new program available. If I have any wisdom to share at this point it is to save all groups (whether by album, keyword, whatever) in folders on a separate drive. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
I have also been looking at a lot of art books I've also been reading about art on line, especially enjoying artist interviews posted on <a href="http://paintingperceptions.com/" target="_blank">Painting Perceptions</a>, and listening to artist interviews on the <a href="https://savvypainter.com/" target="_blank">Savvy Painter</a> podcast. I mention this because one artist interviewed, John Cosby, said he doesn’t like to post his work on social media as he finishes it because he needs time to sit with the work and process it free from others’ opinions. I relate to needing time to absorb the work and look at it for a long time before putting it out there. That said, I’ll post a few images of some of my sabbatical work in the early stages. The pieces are complete now but I’m going to hold off on a complete unveiling until I have more time studying them.</div>

<br />
I've been focusing on both built and natural environments, especially trying to find views where they overlap. In some work this means I'm focusing on older buildings that appear in some way surrounded or engulfed by natural elements. In other pieces this means I'm finding fragments of past industry along the creek itself. I like including elements from the past into my work; it gets me imaging what a place used to be like and how it has changed. I have been attracted to older buildings in my work for a long time. I think this is because I like something about the proportions and details that are often present in the roof shapes, facades and dormer windows, for example. I love the Darby Creek because of its intimate scale, variety of land it runs through- woods, suburban, urban- and ultimately the wildlife it supports, but I've also been learning about the textile mill industry it used to support. Today fragments of mills and bridges can still be found along the creek.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking about a thread that connects this interest in architecture with creek-settings. Using a creek as a focal as a point of orientation is giving me direction as I move along its route, sometimes painting right along the creek, and sometimes painting in nearby neighborhoods. I am also planning to paint the creek as it passes through the John Heinz Refuge, a place that is extremely important migratory bird habitat.<br />

While I feel like I've been problem solving how to fit these two elements- natural and built habitats- together, I've also come to realize how a sizable amount of my work actually fits into a larger puzzle. In addition to painting along Darby Creek, I have been painting along Cobbs Creek, Wissahickon Creek, and, Riddly Creek, and also painting some of the older homes near these places. I am starting to see how I've spent a good deal of time painting the habitat of several tributaries of the Delaware River. Since this is where I live, it makes sense, but I had never really thought about it quite like that. <br />
<br />
With this larger framework in mind, I'm especially excited to be focusing on Darby Creek, the creek that I come into contact with most, due to where I live, work and spend recreation time. As a birder, the John Heinz Refuge, also known as Tinicum, plays a crucial role in my observations. I've gotten familiar with many different bird species that either live year-round or migrate through the refuge, and it expands my notion of habitat. I've also been watching the building of a beaver dam and marveling at yet another form of habitat taking shape along the Darby Creek. This seems like the fitting culmination of this body of work, but we'll see what happens!<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A day in early November that would have been impossible not to paint: sparkling blue skies, crisp shadows and sunlight warming my back. On days like this it can be hard to decide what to paint because everything looks so beautiful. Here, the shadows along the white fence, orange holly berries, and the geometry of the stone house against the blue sky all appealed to me.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I must be on a figure kick, because I started this painting, thinking 'if only there was something pink or red in the composition'. I had a hunch a cardinal would show up, and sure enough, a male flew overhead. Then, to my surprise, a woman from the house shuffled out in a pink blouse! She took the leaf bag with her, but later returned it and I was able to paint them both into the painting. </span></div>
