I started creating art again just over 2 years ago, so, I have been practicing painting, pastels and sketching, I am happy with my progress, I don't do a lot of art work just during my leisure time.

      I am getting ready to create another painting, it's been a while since I have painted, yes, since end of June, 2016 was my last time I created any art work. The reason is because I am subject to a number of distractions, difficult to paint on a regular basis. In fact, today I bought a few paint brushes and been doing research on painting city and or street scenes, yes, my next painting will be a city street scene. It's been almost 2 years, off and on, creating art.

 Below is a painting of a land scape of Montour Trail I finished today 6/22/16 ,Montour Trail in Pennsylvania, in my old age I like to hike as I did the trail that day and garden.

    What I discovered about creating art is that there are a number of people who like to see people begin or in my case re-begin creating art, maybe they want to compare progress or explore the art process. Yes, one of America's biggest businesses is story telling, from Programming "Software", to Fiction to the Arts, Americans enjoy story telling. In fact the United States of America began based on our Forefathers stories, they came to this land with stories, then they created the stories as found in the Declaration of Independence  and the United States Constitution, yes, there were artists who created images for those original American stories. Blogging is a means to tell stories, so, yes, I tell my story, hey it's American to tell stories.

    Again, I started painting again just over a year ago, it's been a long time since I crated art, so, I took a few Art Classes, one class was in water color painting, this tulip is my third water color painting after I took the class, Yellow Tulip by Phillip Bianco.

2015 Water Color painting on paper by Phillip Bianco. This was the first water color painting I had done since 1969 after I took a painting class.

 

Way back during my youth when I created art often I had done a series of parallelisms, that's what the Art Community in Europe use to call this recent painting I created back in the 1960's early 1970's. I did exhibit a series of parallelisms, of course my skills were much better because I painted often. Yes, this painting is what the Art Community in Europe use to call a parallelism, I completed the painting today April 21, 2016, acrylic by Phillip Bianco.

   As I had said in prior posts I re-began creating art work just over a year ago, people liked some of the art work, so, I decided to take a few art classes, it was suggested that I take a sketching/drawing class, so, I did, I did three sketches after I took the class, below I post my third sketch, a self-portrait of Phillip Bianco, yes, my skills are getting better, a good thing.
