Drawing from a few weeks ago



a mountain triptych

i am wanting to make a triptych out of these double exposures from my transparencies to submit to a number of juried shows i have been reading up on.  I'm just working through them all and expanding on that first one i posted a few weeks back that i thought worked so well.  To make it most exciting, i have been scanning these to print at 50 inches tall.  I was also thinking of them for the little exhibition that we have coming up with Cynthia in June, remember guys?

Cold Wax and Oil and a tall snowman named Steve



Fun day.

WEST!



you heard me!

Procrastination to the Max = BDS

I began the day with a huge overwhelming list of things to accomplish, all of which are jobs that have been on my list for weeks and weeks now.  I half-heartedly started a few, then quickly gave up out of frustration, lack of interest and general lethargy.  Then I decided it was time to have a day off from my to-do list and spent the next 3 hours idly doodling around on Illustrator designing a logo for my  yet-to-be-in-existence new club: the Backroad Design Syndicate.  Isn't it a beaut of a logo?  I am really pleased with my progress.

Original of failed painting...

...called my secret garden.....the tulip wasn't working and I tried to fix it several times....so I turned the painting upside down and made it into "the fishermans daughter"....it is romantic. ....the fisherman's daughter is Madame Butterfly (opera) and here she is singing "un bel di" (one fine day, my ship will come....and with it her lover)


I have lost the snail at the rim of the vase...see upper left in first painting...this is a pity, may have to reintroduce....
