  • James and Jeanette Gurney visit the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome for a plein-air painting (plane-air?) session around a World War 1 biplane with the American Society of Aviation Artists. Gurney sketches Don Meadows standing at his easel, with a Fokker D VII in the background.

    Who knew the Association of Aviation Artists was a thing? Now we do! I love that arm and elbow plus the folds in the tee shirt. I find it amusing that you chose to paint the painters rather than the planes. You are king of romancing the ordinary!

    I love the sculpting of that t-shirt with light and shadow and colour. If you know it, you can see the classical example of a ball lit by one light source, on a refecting surface. The difficulty is applying that knowledge loosely.

  • @brianwong4175
    @brianwong4175 Před 2 lety +5

    It seems that artists make the best models of form for art, since they always return to the same pose. I think James and Jeanette have created a new sub-field in art: Meta-Art. The art of those who create art. :-)

  • @wastelandtourguide5956
    @wastelandtourguide5956 Před 2 lety +1

    I absolutely LOVE how both Jeannette and James used the same phrase of 'the artist always returns to the same pose', like they are so telepathically and artistically in tune with each other. It's likely James used those words afterwards, in the editing of the video after Jeanette said it when asked about her painting, but the fact that they both painted an artist painting a plane without the other knowing (notice the surprise in James' voice when he sees her artwork) confirms my theory.

I am an artist, and normally, love landscapes and people......but this popped up, today.....and I said to myself.....hmmmmmm. I might WANT to try this......in homage to my father, who flew, and knew those astronauts from way back in Melbourne, Fla in the 60's. Exciting times.......and perhaps and old DC3, too.

It was family day so every hanger was open with many historic biplanes both posing and or flying. a I was soaked up the atmosphere and painted a Taylorcraft and a Stearman 1942. Beautiful planes and a gourgeous September day!)
