Neil! This is great! You - one piece - everyone passes the next something. You are- the creative mood. And your son - the peace. :)) (He seems like you) And the result - very beautiful. I love how you portrayed the details. Depth and penumbra... Neil, I looked up word "Mylar" not found. Can you tell? What paper or material you use.
Hi Ti-igra Thank you very much for your very kind comments. About mylar - it's a nylon material that is wonderful to draw and paint on. It was used for many years in the architectural industry because you can erase completely on it and not damage the surface. this is where i normally purchase my rolls of it: http://www.nycentralartsupply.com/ or http://pearlpaint.com/shop_search.htm?keywords=mylar&Submit=Go it's really amazing stuff to work on. I use it when I travel for pleine air painting as it's so light. it's translucent like vellum but much more durable. i hope that this helps.
Hello, Neil! You told me very interesting fact about nylon material - Mylar! Thank you very much! I am interested in different techniques to paint, searching for myself and thanks to you, I have learned so interesting things. This material translucent and I like very much how you it us! May be I find analogues in Ukraine!
I know that you celebrate Christmas now. And I wish you the best! We shall celebrate Christmas from 6-th to 7-th January :-)
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
I wonder what prompted the blob administrator to delete the comment, rude, subversive, offensive? the mind boggles. By the way, are you the blog administrator or is it soem faceless character in the ether?
Hello Neil, I'm an artist currently living in Nebraska, {yes we have electricity, indoor plumbing, and cars , not cowboys on horseback}. I've never "blogged" before but I feel that since you have had such an intensely positive effect on me I need to thank you. Artistically, I was pretty much withering and sinking; you pulled me right up out of the goop. Don't know how else to describe it and you weren't doing anything on purpose, just being who you are and doing what you do. If I get any more specific it might ruin it and I'm sure you have this affect on more people than you'd ever guess. Please keep blogging, painting, and loving your wife and your beatiful child. I have 3 children & 9 grandchildren: [my credentials to give advice]. I REALLY wish someone would have told me this; we feed the baby, we burp the baby. All done,yes? No. Every time there's another little bubble he'll cry until he's held upright so he can burp again. This can continue right up until the next time he eats. If only I'd known! Thank you for all you've done for me, I hope I've given something back to you. Kathleen
Hello, Neil! Thank you for your comment on my blog! Wish you success in your creative work! And so nice for me that I reminded you of your old friend! I answered you! :-)
Hi Kathleen, Tomorrow is my birthday and I can think of nothing better than to have received such a wonderful posting from you as a birthday gift. I've been in that art trough as well and was pulled out by someone and am very grateful to have had another chance at this. I don't want to ruin your good feelings so I will leave it at I am very honored to have helped you in anyway. I think that is the very best that we can do as artists.
btw I'm from the midwest and have been through Nebraska and didn't see a single cowboy on horseback. And thanks for the advice on my son. Very best to you and thank you!
This blog contains the latest news, paintings and articles about and by Neil Plotkin, as he pursues his career as a fine artist in New York, with occasional detours to London, England, Detroit, Michigan and the Loir Valley in France (and yes that's spelled correctly as it's le Loir valley as opposed to the larger La Loire valley.)

It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it's always possible to find something new. :)
