A wing and a prayer…

Today has been nice to wake up to. All the local schools are closed. My wife still has to get to work in the snow-covered roads. So as I am about to drive her to work, that is the prayer part. Safety on the roads.
As for the wing, I just added […]

Working Title: Love is in the Air

Okay, maybe all this talk about love is getting to me. Maybe it’s just because my wife and I are celebrating our two year anniversary this coming week… whatever it is I’ve started a new painting.
Now since I’ve started Artist Hideout, I’ve done lots of abstract expressionism stuff. I’ve toyed with little […]

Playing with Google Sketch-Up

I’ve been playing with Google’s Sketch-Up program lately. It’s fairly easy to get a handle on and I think there is a great value in any artist working with this amazing free tool that Google is making available.
Here’s one of my fun little projects. It’s a random idea I had for a […]

Trading Art: Selling an Art Card

I’ve uploaded my artcard and posted it on the www.artcardswanted.com website. I like the fact that I can tell a little about the painting in the description. It makes it a personal experience. The payment page is set up using paypal which directs straight to me and I can send out the […]

Trading Art: Art in your pocket

While I anxiously was looking for a paycheck from someone today, I intentionally stayed close to home to wait for the mail lady to arrive. The paycheck didn’t come, but… my artcards did.
They came in an average tannish orange, bubble-wrapped lined envelope from ArtWanted.com. Pretty much they were everything I was expecting. […]

Spray Paint. Art.

I saw this guy awhile back on another site. I thought it was pretty amazing to watch what he does. Lots of airbrushing techniques used here.

Daily Paintings from Justin Clayton

Justin’s wife emailed me this morning with this.

My husband, Justin Clayton, is an oil painter. A few of years ago he started painting on a daily basis just to get some practice in. They were small studies and usually unfinished. But, for the past year he has been painting almost daily and finishes each painting. […]

June Dreams?

Okay, I felt a little bad for Cyndi this last showcase. Her link got misplaced somewhere along the way. So I thought I’d highlight her blog, Layers Upon Layers and one of her showcase entry here too.
She completed the mixed media painting in December and makes great use of found elements in her […]

A Little Thank You for ImageKind

When you are publishing something everyday, sometimes even twice or three times a day it’s good just to google yourself every now and then and see what pops up. Hence the William Lehman elementary school in Florida or the Mitsubishi dealership or the highway somewhere out in California where accidents happen frequently. But […]
