I am now thinking of old American and European water towers and how that can be placed.<br /><br />The barns you posted would be ideal in that sense. I am wondering as to the placement of such structures and their co-existence with the wilderness.Chuang Shyue Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497292334309793651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888336917026597401.post-17380026224516693652010-08-20T10:25:55.869+08:002010-08-20T10:25:55.869+08:00Mitchell, ahhh...

I drew a Aichi D3A and a Hawker Sea Fury last night. I also drew a forest scene at TCC!Chuang Shyue Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497292334309793651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888336917026597401.post-81658462043205871362010-08-19T08:53:15.145+08:002010-08-19T08:53:15.145+08:00August 17, 2010 1:21 PM

I can surely relate to what you have just said. And I overdraw too.Chuang Shyue Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497292334309793651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888336917026597401.post-73374695603096474782010-08-17T12:26:11.476+08:002010-08-17T12:26:11.476+08:00Ah..

Thanks.<br /><br />You are right about being fastidious with one's own work. We all fret over our 'children' to the extent that we overdraw, overpaint and more.Chuang Shyue Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497292334309793651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888336917026597401.post-63949724008126233712010-08-17T02:33:27.603+08:002010-08-17T02:33:27.603+08:00Hmm...but I thought the sun and moons were distinc...Hmm...but I thought the sun and moons were distinctive that drew me the idea of olden times. But the way I look at it, it's good enough honestly and more work it's gonna make darker until it disappears.<br /><br />Artists are always fastidious with their own work. Know what, do a "MkII" version of it. Don't worry about it. That's what I do, sometimes if I find a piece that not up to mark and it's pointless to work I'll do another. You can imagine, I have damaged my own stuffs by overdoing and wished I have a "undo" button for my paper or canvas.Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888336917026597401.post-23002145549501560642010-08-16T14:17:55.795+08:002010-08-16T14:17:55.795+08:00An edge, a story within the narrative of the canva...An edge, a story within the narrative of the canvas.Chuang Shyue Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497292334309793651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888336917026597401.post-43745855991914554942010-08-16T14:17:34.782+08:002010-08-16T14:17:34.782+08:00I also think that this theme can be explored furth...I also think that this theme can be explored further though a different and more dramatic perspective.

I haven't the skill the bring out the sun and moon motifs that were inscribed on the cracked dome of the observatory in a small space and the shadows obscured more details but it is important for them to be obscured.Chuang Shyue Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497292334309793651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888336917026597401.post-71439046768736018602010-08-16T12:04:05.251+08:002010-08-16T12:04:05.251+08:00Thank you for your kind words, Helena and Graciela...Thank you for your kind words, Helena and Graciela.

Hm...His works tell stories and make one think deep. Hmm... secluded and dilapidated but deceptively quiet, dwelt the shunned and unspoken. The dome is good, he tells me that it's a time way before us? There was already great knowledge and discovery of the cosmo by the quiet knower. And secrets that we know not.
