Christmas card coming

Getting organized for making my Christmas card this time around. Planning a grouping of holly leaves and putting an Indonesian (Javanese) spin on it. Hope I can make something I like well enough to produce- taht can be a stumbling block.

Will post when I've got it.

Too busy to paint

Taking a course and working full time are taking their toll on the free time quotient these days. Paintings that I thought were finished last spring seem to need a little something - a few more hours it looks like. Even the darn 8 x 10 size torture me with the work required. I wish I could manage the slap dash but alas.

Looking forward to the next Indonesia trip which will include a side trip to Bali and hopefully to Tokyo. Notwithstanding that it might be the most expensive place on the planet- still how much can be spent in only a day or two - I'm willing to find out.

will post a recent 8 x 10 completed for the Little Art Show in Toronto shortly.

How do you put depth in painting? In my mind I try to build from the ground up but of course that is a spectacular illusion given that the next swatch of paint covers the last so is it still there.

Enjoying a moment of painting again but want to embark on series on the atomic bomb again. Unfortunately not a big seller!

RSS

O.K. I got the RSS done and did the photo manipulator although didn't post any to the blog . Maybe later. Churning through all the mashups and so on - especially responding to Facebook and building something there - man it all takes time. When am I going to get piano practicing done.

Photobucket Album

More art and pictures of paintings.

Here are the pictures as requested from Photobucket. Another of a number of images about the salmon on the way to the spawn. I've had a great deal of fun with these fish!




The bathing beauty series I called Maximum tan based on pinup images from the 1950's

Another of the bomb series showing the beauty and trying to point to the craziness of the human response - great day to get a tan.

Monday and I need to save some pics today or at least this week. What I'd really like to get done is to add a photo to my profile- that might have to wait until I can find one I like - or forever.

Waiting for the comments to pour in. Sigh
