He’s having numbers for his dinner tonight.

WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA! SPONGEBOB SQUARE PANTS!

Dont judge me its not the best.

It’s true!

Shes very shy.

her face is scary and i think its a good pic.

Like the other peacock but cuter?

Upon reflection, it seems last weekend proved good for the creative juices!

Umm the oil pastel is a little messy but ok.

Shes pretty calm.

feel the flow

Thar she blows, as they say :-P

It's all about gastropods and the changing of seasons in my world right now. :-)

Finding edges is a conversation between values. That sounds political. Like Ruskin's observation that drawing is soiling the paper delicately.

I want the composition to be thoughtful but on the sad side. My skill practice was brush strokes and blending (but not overdoing the blending) as I try to figure out how I stylize as an artist. Still working in the realm of realism and proportions as I am a newbie, but wanna flex into stylization a bit more. I did this through Rebelle 5, which is absolutely amazing, IMO.

My dietary preferences/inclinations in a nutshell, as the title implies!

Title: Never Forget. A quick piece I made today. I wanted to go abstract so the viewer can put their own meaning into the piece, but each paint stroke I made I had September 11th in mind. Digitally painted with watercolor in Rebelle 5 on a simple white canvas and sent over to PS.

Moon and whale combo time!

My first try of lino cut

Another day? Another drawing, of course. :-)

A value study sample for students. Grey out the paper. Erase light areas. Darken shaded areas. Refine. Lots of success on this one.

Tidbits of things overheard in the pub earlier this week when I was short of inspiration = this.

Zahra Sedighi-Hamedani sits in prison in Iran, sentenced to death for being a lesbian. Digitally painted with pencil brushes and textured overlays to produce a watercolor-type image. Shading tones and background are meant to represent the Kurdish flag.

Yesterday’s Magnetic Fields gig and current affairs fuelled the flames for this one, as did pink dolphins.

I wanted to capture an introspective feeling and show the Detroit River's expansiveness. I went with a late summer sunset vibe with lots of warm pinks and cool blues.
