More terry Miura -tonal and Impressionist painting

I'm sorry for the week delay in my posts. I was still working on marketing aspects which need the computer and being frustrated, Finally I called graphic artist and tech  guru Jeremy Mullens www.jeremymullens.com who sat down with me and patiently taught me and advised me. Worth the drive to Grandville and the time. I also met his wife Liz Mullens who is a fantastic artist and is on Facebook.
Art prize-I only got to Frederik Meijer Gardens to see the Japanese Ceramics. Just a small part of the huge event, but a very nice part. How did they get their pieces so huge and perfect? How did they get those magnificent glazes? How did they get them all over here without breaking any of them? Such a variety of techniques and ideas. A favorite-especially among the children were the dog couple whose bodies were made up of smaller dogs by Naoto Nakata. I was there to also see the West Michigan Bonsai Club's show-no, I wasn't, I was a day early.....................
The next post will be about my exhibit sponsored by ACTion Art showing at Keller Willaims RiverTown in Grandville so I want to include in this post two paintings by Terry Miura www.terrymiura.com.the first a cityscape and the second a landscape. The first one is titled  "Late Return No. 2 ",


and the second  is titled "Working Day".
 Miura is primarily a tonalist. Tonalists change value by lightening or darkening colors and impressionists change value by using warmer or cooler colors. Impressionists have more color in shadows and are  usually in a high key (lighter  values). Tonalists are more low key, have little color in the shadows and use mostly browns or greys. Although you might have some of one or the other in either kind of painting, the artist must decide if the painting is to be done tonally or in an impressionist manner.
