first walter getting creative dunedin fine arts center.

good morning everybody. walter allen in for charley belcher this morning. we're at the dunedin fine arts? with lorraine. lorraine, you are instructor of, this had a whole big giant

student abstract acrylic expressionism. i also teach intro to pastels reason we're talk to you tomorrow they have big open house which starts at 10 o'clock. that's where you can buy all pottery by way. here, is one the demos that will be going on. this where people can come and see everything that the dunedin fine arts center has to offer. and you will be given a demo about this. so what are you agoing to be telling folks tomorrow? basically the way i teach my classes, and i have some of my students here, and it's all about painting abstractly. and there's two different kinds of abstract. there is figure active which basically it looks like something. and then there is this, which is nonobjective. which is basically composition color, shapes and value. and each week in our class, we talk about a different way to start a painting. how do you start? you have blank canvas what do you do. so tomorrow in the demo aring

blank canvas how do you get started. big tip the cap to photo journalist tiptoeing around land mines trying to not knock over this hard work in here. how do you get started? i mean do you have to have a picture right there? >> you don't. you don't have a picture. but this particular picture here is a photo shopped version of a still life that we worked from a week ago. and this shows you that you can work from a painting within a pa much. it was probably a corn stalk in the still life. and photo shopped it just makes an interesting abstract. so i work from that as the class did. and just look for shapes and values and invent the colors that you happen to like that work in your composition. beautiful thing about this is, you use all sorts of things. one artist over here she was using credit cards to make sure you have straight lines. you were using your fingers you

what we do each week i'll demonstrate again tomorrow is you can use pallet knife a brush, your fingers, it's really trying to loosen up your technique. if anybody comes in and says i think too tight. that's the class they want to take. and they can see a little bit of that demo tomorrow. and i think also you don't have to be married to the picture if you start making something like you were mentioning off camera earlier something that was supposed to be i don't know, starting to look leak tree or turn it sideways it looks like something else you can make absolutely. absolutely. you start it one way. and it's just the basic elements of composition and shape and value. and all of sudden, something may appear or by turning it, it looks like something else. and you work on it that way for a while. and then the class is very instructive as well. everybody will look and say i really like it better that way. did you think about maybe lighter here or darker here. so it's really a collaborative effort. and we do positive critiques which means we talk about what's

versus saying something negative. and there's always something working in painting always something gelling that will turn into a great painting. i wish we had positive critiques. i can help out with that. okay. thank you we'll bring you on do positive critiques thank you so much. so for the demos that will start same time pottery 10 o'clock but only go until 2 >> that's right. here dunedin fine arts center we will go back ove things they are going to have this weekend on top of the pottery that includes jewelry as well also glass blowing and all of this other interesting stuff. if you're market to do to get some christmas gifts out to friends or family, this is the place to be, guys. >> all right. looks good. thanks, walter. see you later on. >> it is a moment that changed america. the bombing of pearl harbor. 75 years later. a man who survived it is going back. alcides is going to share his story. plus a barbie for everyone.

he was about ten feet from that anger. hang around arkansas. he spoke with him earlier this morning i had, i just i figured that the bond that they would have would be something that would just be unexplainable. but what he told me was a complete opposite. listen in. >> if you're exposed to battles you don't want to have friends you have because when they die, if they are friends it is tough to handle it where if they are just another person in the group you can handle that. wow. remarkable. two years ago by the way, there were 12 survivors that actually went to pearl harbor. again only a few are expected this year. 94 years old. still very active. he says he goes to the ymca six days a week that's why he's able

way. and you'll probably notice some surface moisture starts to get higher as well. whooim saying is next two and a half days, great. dry, beautiful, gorgeous. then humidity from the southwest is slowly going to start to kind of sneak back in. so mostly sunny. much drier today then yesterday. boy, it's a huge difference. 76 for a high temperature. mostly clear. 57 tonight. and tomorrow, we're going 78. partly cloudy. lovely conditions. boating but we do have mod ray chop any time we get in moderate chop i urge you to keep checking back in to see if that changes over weekend. next high tide 4:56 p.m. and seven-day forecast brings humidity back in. but it also brings in some rain chances. which we really do need. so next tuesday looking a 50 percent rain chances. time to give away another fox 13 good day mug. #we live here. you got to go to my facebook

caution heading that way we have minor slow downs you can sear here southbound use 19 crashes reported with single lane blocked here. good day garden with our friend david widwam inspect good to see you hope your holidays are going well. they are going greet. about a month or so ago. we were out in good day garden we had to kind of redo it. because of some seeds got mixed in wit just got pulled up. we decided to put pollution in and now we've made lot of progress. we put pollution in and then we put carrot seeds in we do do some of this by seeds. and really we have haven't number garden for about four weeks. other than some mild weddings. so now it's time to do housekeeping. >> looks good. yeah. all right. where do we start? we'll start over here. this is broccoli. it's doing okay. it really doesn't look like it needs much other than the

here to the kale. the kale when we put the plugs they were still pretty tight. if you look down here you can actually see that there's one and a one plant growing out of this hole. see how there's two plants. nice thing about this we call a gleaning you're going to get a little bit of harvest outdoing this. first thing we will do come through and thin out plants. here's another bunch of kale right here. that as you can see is just too tightly packed. because i'm gleaning i'm going to actually going to take bigger one and have a little bit of more of harvest. 's. that's ready to eat in smooth sympathy or stir 42 i. we can thin the rest of these out. i want wanted to move over here to lettuce. romaine lettuce also when we planned it you can see their more than one plant.

eat. so we can just come in here, again when i'm gleaning i like to take bigger plants. that way i'm getting more for the table. so as you can see we got two little lettuce plants here romaine. we want to go down the radio and do that with every single one of lettuce. >> okay. the cilantro we will leaf it when we glean later on we get a little bit more of a harvest. move over here to the carrots. so with the carrots, as you can see when we put seeds in, they are still a little bit tightly pack. make with carrots. is they don't come back and then them out. carrots are pretty easy aget them to germ nate. key is making sure you come back in and thin them out. you want carrots to be about 1 to two inches apart each. i like to just, yeah they are too close. but we just wanted to make assure you this want them too far apart either or you're wasting space we will pull all of these carrots up and leave them so they are one to two inches apart. we don't is lot of time left.

after we thin everything out we're going to come back and do our feeding. like i said everything has in for about four weeks. this will give everybody a little push and make sure they have minerals they need micro nutrients which like vitamins and compost plus. which is the food what they use to actually build with. time to give them some of that. that's right. good, david. looks good. thank you, man. moving along. good to see you. good to see you too. oh ever changing holiday season.
