About Me
- Larry Seiler
- Enculturation imbued with print media & tv means we live in a 2nd reality, one the lens sees. Lifeless shadows, static detail rank accurate to life. My renaissance from 20 years in studio came after taking my paints outdoors. Several things happened- I saw color as only an artist can see, (painting being the deeper way of seeing); I was overwhelmed with all to be worked out in short order; thirdly, that taunt of a feeling I knew nothing of painting! Such would send many back to the pretense of the familiar, but I’m not good hiding from myself that which I’m not able to succeed. By right…I should be able to paint outdoors, and was going to do this were it to kill me. Kill me it did! So complete was that death, I could no longer aspire to paint as artists I had admired. Their works now lifeless, labored, detailed, realistic, yes...but no sense of REAL'ness. I wish I had started nature’s schooling much younger, but lives are like books. Not one chapter stuck to one narrative. Life can be filled with many chapters. It can have interesting twists and new directions, and I say go for it! *See my book on landscape painting, and new DVDs available thru “Books & Videos” at larryseiler.com

There's a gentleness to this that exudes calm and a feeling that summer is with us.
Larry, I really like this. Wonderful use of color and brushwork!
Thanks Mick...Helen...it had "paint me!" all over the spot as I pulled over to park.. 8^)
Beautiful work----looks like home here!
thanks Ida...
Very nice Larry. I have some canvas paper for watercolor use. Thought I'd glue to some card board panel and gesso the canvas. How can you attach the canvas to some cardboard panel. Just using them for practice and thought of using the backboard of 9x12 paper pads like watercolor pads and drawing paper pads as my material to use for the canvas. I thought it would be useful someday.
Love your scene there, nice colors and overall appeal.
I ordered Lineco adhesive, Kirby...which is a really nice gluing for canvas, linen...paper, etc., Thanks much...appreciated
