It was an interesting challenge for me…how to make a simple image of a hill work as both monumental and intimate without establishing a scale for the image. There is a specific reason that I put those constraints on it. The Caddo people were native to what is now East Texas. Just about all that remains of them in Texas are some place names. Like other tribes, they were treated harshly. The survivors of their encounters with white settlers were pushed to...]]></description><link>https://www.robertadyefineart.com/post/caddo</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a563502c4c6f18ae7c412de</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 13:10:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/275027_4eadbe4d76af48f4a1dc0b46cd6d1b22~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_640,h_421,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>robert1558</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The First Bardo, the Span of Life ]]></title><description><![CDATA[My thought was to paint a series of “death paintings”, that is to say, paintings that summed up all that I have tried to incorporate into my art up to this point in my life. If I die tomorrow, this is what I want to leave behind as an artistic statement. That isn’t really anything different from what I try to do with every painting, but the intention is focused and clear. According to Tibetan Buddhism there are four bardos. The first bardo is the span of this life, between birth and death,...]]></description><link>https://www.robertadyefineart.com/post/the-first-bardo-the-span-of-life</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5633a968b728cc93ff56da</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 13:05:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/275027_29d1a30879994e57875fbe37d564a928~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_640,h_442,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>robert1558</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The View Toward Galway Lighthouse ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Some years ago, when I was thinking about my watercolor technique, I bought some pencils made with water-soluble graphite, the kind that are designed to work with aqueous media. My idea was that the graphite lines would diffuse when I painted over them with colorful watercolor washes. This would give me some flexibility and range in how I combined watercolor with pencil lines. My ideas didn’t work so well in practice. The graphite lines were too dark and heavy looking for my watercolors at...]]></description><link>https://www.robertadyefineart.com/post/the-view-toward-galway-lighthouse</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5630aa419af4c003fe74a7</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 12:59:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/275027_7ba24229b9464245bcf594ef70929eb8~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_640,h_391,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>robert1558</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
