Just six days to go until episode 4 of this series of Landscape Artist Of…
Applying To Landscape Artist Of The Year
I won’t be completing my three landscapes in three days challenge. One of the painful lessons I’ve learned over the years is that if I’m not “feeling it” then I shouldn’t be painting. And after staying up until 2am last night watching the chess, going for my daily four mile walk this morning and then walking the dog afterwards, I’m definitely not feeling it.
So instead, I’ve finished my Landscape Artist Of The Year application, twelve days before the deadline. My main submission is The Mukurob (Finger Of God) as it’s my favourite of all the landscapes I’ve painted over the last year or so. My second submission is Church Of San Pedro De Atacama, Chile as I know the judges will want to see some paintings of buildings. This one narrowly edged out Torre Nubia as I wanted to show off how I can make white buildings reflect a whole spectrum of colours. And for my third painting I wanted something a bit off the wall and picked Kingsferry Bridge Under Three Different Skies just ahead of Lewes Castle.
I’ve also added a link in the labels along the top of the page for LAOTY judges to click on to see my better watercolour landscapes. Not only my very best ones but all of the half decent ones.
Now I just have to wait. Don’t be expecting any news before the end of the year because I’ll probably be told to keep things quiet if I’m offered a pod or a wildcard place.
And now that’s all done, I’m putting my feet up to read a book and may well snooze off for a couple of hours at some point. With tonight being another chess night and Monday being a busy day, it will probably be Tuesday before I get back to painting.
