I get ideas and then when I actually get to work on a particular painting, it’s usually around midnight or something. So yesterday evening I bought a 36″x48″ canvas and began work.
Most of my work lacks a really warm feel, so I started with a green field and incorporated a copper metallic and a […]
Cave Paintings have always fascinated me. Most art books start out with talking about cave paintings as the origin of art. I figured it would be fun to do as a first vodcast. This one is a little short, but if all works well (second time posting this) I’ll do a longer (this one […]
So I am finally back from my week of rest and just got through my 80+ emails that had piled up in my gmail account. Thanks for putting up with the Flickr updates via cell phone for the week and the one actual post.
The other news is that I am in the process of […]
Sometimes you catch things reading local news that just throws you for a loop. A Baltimore, Ohio woman named Nancy Crow has made quilts that she has sold for $8,000 - $75,000
While studying fine arts at Ohio State in the late 1960s, she says she wanted to be a potter but became allergic to […]
I recently hit on the idea to make a digital artwork that was the same width and posting requirements for my blog. One that was rendered specifically for the space but you had to scroll to get the full image. I hadn’t seen anything like this anywhere else. With that in mind, I am opening […]
Realizing that many poem and literary works have fallen into the public domain over the years, I have contrived an addition to the blog that may become a permanent fixture if there seems to be response to it.
I love to read poetry. From Poe to Scott, and many in between, there is a […]
I was feeling slightly ambitious today (common Monday trait for me) and decided to start this painting this morning. I found the above image on www.sxc.hu
My camera seems to be acting up and is giving everything a pinkish hue so here is the best I could do in terms of showing you the current […]
I have run across a free tool by Google called Google Sketch-Up (well, I did awhile ago and even used it in a recent post ) but I’ve recently realized that this is a great tool for us bloggers too. Here’s why?
Now not all of us are 3d graphical experts. Apparently Google knows that too. […]
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 […]
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 […]
