Through this practice, we begin to realize a deeper communion with the world we live in and new ways of seeing. This 2 -day workshop is geared toward beginner/intermediate and intermediate painters, working in oil. We will discuss the importance of thumbnail sketching as an important tool for developing composition and ideas for paintings.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Lucida Grande', serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Lucida Grande', serif; font-size: 12px;">The primary focus will be on how to convey the sense of strong directional light in your paintings by clarifying and pushing the values. We will also work on value patterns and shapes to help in developing successful compositions. There will be discussions on materials, scene selection and brushwork. I will do a demonstration painting each day, and work with students individually on their paintings throughout the day as we paint outdoors. The workshop will be held at the historic China Camp Park in San Rafael. This small fishing village, consisting of several rustic buildings, is nestled on the edge of the bay with a backdrop of Marin's golden hills. Additional motifs include views of the bay and a small island.

I remember reading this years ago and have since tried to apply it to continuing my daily practice of painting. I try to paint each day either on location or in the studio. I live near an area called "horse hill" and have been taking walks there regularly for years. There is a stable for horses below the hill and these beautiful animals roam around on the ridges all day, eating and doing horse things.<br />
I've posted a recent horse painting and some of my new landscape paintings. Hope you enjoy them.<br />

As I watch them, I am reminded of mans' continuing fascination with flight and the early drawings of Leonardo and others. Some years ago I did a painting entitled "Night Flying". the painting pictured here is a split plane showing an image of a man in flight under an atmospheric sky at dusk. Below, in the split plane you see references to early Leonardo drawings and the musings of the master; a reference to art history.<br />

<br />
Closing out 2010 with some new work I want to share with you. I have sent four new works to the Julie Nester Gallery in Park City. Two of the paintings shown here are 60x60 and reflect movement toward a slightly lighter pallet. Additionally, I have been increasingly aware of color as a factor in my compositions and how squeezing value can help create mood and distance. <br />
<br />

The dynamics of color use can be a daunting experience at times. For this reason I have scaled back my range of colors at different times to see what I can glean from the a limited pallet. After doing this for awhile I may find that the incremental introduction of new hues creates and alters the range of color relationships for the entire work, thereby adding more atmosphere and or brilliance.<br />
<br />
I had the good fortune recently to view a number of works by Seurat at the DeYoung museum in San Francisco. This was part of a larger show of impressionist and post impressionist work currently on display at the museum. While Seurat's paintings demonstrate a deep analytical understanding of color and hue relationships, it is his conte or charcoal renderings on paper that present a masterful view of value and modulation of value to the viewer. In my painting entitled "Beyond the Margins" I have explored a more subtle ;use of value and tone to create mood, atmosphere and distance. The same study was explored in the painting "Near the Estero" (seen below)<br />

I have worked with Lisa for ten years and she presents my work well. For this show I did twelve new paintings. The work represented a slight shift in terms of color use and motif. For several years my work has focused on wetlands and intimate settings in nature. In the paintings, seen below, I have shifted to a larger more panoramic view. "Above the Valley" puts the viewer in an elevated position and suggests a strong light moving across the picture plane. The brush handling moves up the picture plane starting with a more naturalistic rendering technique in the lower third and culminating at the top of the canvas with a loose burst of light, the brush strokes in the upper third, revealing process, paint handling and a flattening of space, as opposed to image making. This in turn presents the viewer with different levels of focus and a juxtaposition of visual language.<br />

This venue in west Marin has been an annual favorite for over twenty years. The show features the work of several local artists. Each work is no larger than 6x6 inches. This year I submitted two small paintings. One was a study for a larger painting and the other was a new motif featuring the ever present distant hills in the area.<br />

The two paintings featured above are both commission pieces I recently completed. Each painting is 36x72 inches. The clients were both residents of the wine country area near Napa and Sonoma California, and the paintings reflect the light and feel of the area. </div>John McCormickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15514781658905256419noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321666427043043588.post-13677436644843514192010-07-10T11:21:00.000-07:002010-12-05T11:22:42.796-08:00Environmental Portraits<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHIUD3uA_wN63BWW2BYL1n8NzEGT_D0dea9oNZt9IhHP0H8cyAXw1dRyOZlfAhB2jzMWrnlYIPah6C2VXdMpPRN8GTADvLmaViLIRHYovucfNzJkRUUdIz5BgWkNS7nbEznk3S1jBRzRw/s1600/David-Brower.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHIUD3uA_wN63BWW2BYL1n8NzEGT_D0dea9oNZt9IhHP0H8cyAXw1dRyOZlfAhB2jzMWrnlYIPah6C2VXdMpPRN8GTADvLmaViLIRHYovucfNzJkRUUdIz5BgWkNS7nbEznk3S1jBRzRw/s320/David-Brower.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The painting shown above will be part of a one-man exhibition of paintings to be shown at the Elins Eagle Smith Gallery in San Francisco. This is the first one man show of my work in the Bay Area in three years and I am looking forward to the opening on Saturday March 20th from 2 to 4pm. I have been working for the past year on this new body of work and am thrilled at the prospect of finally seeing it on the walls. Included in the show will be several new landscapes and a number of portraits. Most of you may be familiar with my landscapes, but for this, my first show of the new decade, I decided to hang portraits of those people who have informed and inspired my thinking regarding the landscape and our environment. It is a project that will be ongoing, paying homage to and recognizing the efforts and contributions of everyone from Thoreau, and Muir, to David Brower and Robert Redford.<br />

The shapes themselves are reminiscent of the heart and its chambers, but more evocative than these is the energetic conversation that takes place between these balanced figures, a rhythm of pure color and abstract shapes. This looks like a throwback to Abstract Expressionism, but the freshness of the images and the direct application of the paint are refreshing and particularly appealing on a smaller scale.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span></span><br />

For those of us who are local Bay Area residents, who know well and love the intricacies and small beauties of the landscape along the coast near Stinson Beach and the Bolinas Lagoon, McCormick’s paintings are in fact a delightful return and visit to these locales that make such a lasting impression on our memories and sensibilities. He succeeds unequivocally in capturing the “essence of place” in each of these engaging atmospheric paintings, with sepia light aglow on the waters and in the sky, the familiar trees in stately importance, the grasses and waters lighted by the high blue sky showing in the distance. </span></span><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">These are, of course, squarely in the tradition of American, and in particular, California landscape painting, with intimate and familiar views of local landscapes, not necessarily famous and monumental, but regional and domestic, like Albert Bierstadt’s </span></span><i style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">California Spring </span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">(1875) and his elegant and serene views of Yosemite, which do not glorify and idealize these natural beauties, but keep them accessible on an intimate human scale.

<div class="productDescriptionWrapper" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Who wouldn't want a studio in the sun and by the sea? For those of us who have always dreamed of having a wonderful studio space, this book is a treasure of eclectic studios informed by the spirit, energy, and creativity of their owners. Featured here are thirty-six historical and contemporary studios that have emerged from a unique studio tradition. Ranging from serene, contemplative spaces to busy workshops, all provide inspiration and ideas for creative work spaces. Many of the studios shown have been designed by great architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, Charles and Ray Eames, Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan, and A. Quincy Jones; and <b>John McCormick</b>, while we are not all able to call on the talents of such luminaries in the design of our own personal spaces, we are sure to benefit from the wonderfully creative studios here on display.<br />

These four paintings will be in the annual Bolinas Museum Mini Show. This is the 21st year the museum has had this show, and this year over 85 artists created small works for the show. This is a wonderful Holiday benefit for the museum as fifty percent of all sales go to the museums' general fund. There will be artists' reception on Saturday, November 21st from 3-5pm. For more information call the museum at 415-868-0330<br />
<br />
Each of the above paintings measures 6x6 inches. Along with two of my landscapes, I've included two portraits from my "Tree Hugger" series. The idea behind these paintings is to highlight and bring attention to those individuals who have been important in shaping our national consciousness with regard to the natural environment. <br />
<br />
In this day of polarized political thought, too many people see the environmentalist movement as a recent development that began on the first earth day in 1970. Of course this event helped to calvenize people around ideas and concerns we all share regarding the health of the planet, but concern for the environment has long been part of our national character. The writings of Jefferson, Thoreau and Emerson shaped our thinking early on, and the development of our National Parks was part of an idea that continues to inspire and grow today in communities across the country.<br />
<br />
The portrait of Teddy Roosevelt celebrates the President and the man who gave a big boost to the development of our National Park system. The portrait of FDR highlights the effort this President put forward in rebuilding the National Parks (Civilian Conservation Corps) and advancing new thought regarding land use.<br />
<br />
I will continue to post new portraits has I finish them so stay tuned.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I am happy to announce the publication of Mitchell Albalas' new book, "Landscape Painting, Essential Concepts and Techniques." Mitchell is a Seattle based artist and educator whose artwork can be seen at the Lisa Harris Gallery in Seattle. My paintings are represented by Lisa Harris as well and Mitchell asked me if he could use one of my paintings in the section of the book that deals with composition. The book is instructional for all levels from beginning to advanced students and has beautiful color reproductions.<br />
<br />
The book can be ordered on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Landscape-Painting-Essential-Concepts-Techniques/dp/0823032205/ref=sr_gnr_fkmr?ie=UTF8&qid=1258934871">Amazon</a> <br />

Essays by Susan Hillhouse, the Chief Curator of Art at The Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, California and Ron Glowen, an independent and nationally published art critic based in Seattle, Washington, add to the rich visual dialogue of McCormick’s work.</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">McCormick is a Bay area artist who has lived in California since 1971. He is part of a group of contemporary landscape painters who combine elements of modernism with those of traditional landscape painting. McCormick creates images from his immediate environment and from childhood memories of lakes and waterways to create works that are evocative of the mysterious and the fragile in nature. His art demonstrates a deep involvement with the craft of painting, the alchemy of rendering form, and the modulation of tone and hue.</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">His work is collected nationally and he is represented by galleries in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Montreal and Park City. His home and studio is in Marin County, California.</span><br />
