Daily Painting | Alameda Dahlias - Emily Weil Art Sidewalk blooms flourish outside urban maker farm near my marina (these dahlias are from a summertime photo). spent better part of weekend slopping drippy wet paint around, using my kitchen counter as an artboard; i have new paint spatters decorating my laptop. "when i prep a large canvas for a painting with acrylics — or when i tack a blank sheet of arches watercolor paper up — i welcome the nervous excitement of expressing myself with paint, charcoal, pastels, india ink, or maybe a mix of red dirt from the berkeley hills.

These plate sized dahlias were a knock out, and frankly hard to capture with watercolor (at least for me); they are so full and blowsy and i mean that in a good way. I have been painting away — red rock state park near sedona, cute, spiky barrel cacti, glorious crimson rocky peaks. for all my slopping cadmium reds around in my watercolor sketchbooks, i’ve produced nothing i want to post. ah, well. such is art. having a getaway was the best, though. Coax my neck muscles to soften a bit. the bullhorn is my new visual image. i employ it to out yell my dad’s critical voice that is in my head. he was a dyed in the wool, old school, abusive and contemptuous misogynist. females had little value; males ruled the world and deserved respect.

I wanted to play with paint as opposed to creating a nice watercolor. art students often feel pressure to create something that proves they have some worthy skills. the highest compliment, i once thought, was, “ooh, that looks exactly like a pink flower against a fence!”. Tooling around alameda on my bike going to the market i saw this house on the corner. it was a kind of faded brown but i wanted to make it all about color. 7″ x 10″ watercolor, pen on paper = $90. I can let go of worries and heartache at least for the afternoon. this painting started as a sheet of yellow/ochre paint. as it dried in the sun, a leaf floated down and landed on it, so i kept it on the paper and painted over it. then i did it again and it didn’t work, but the heart shape happened. the magic of watercolors thrills me.
