Art on art…

I am calling this self-portrait done. I mean, I am done with it, I suppose. ‘Done’ would be a stupid name for a painting. They are never really done, are they?

And the rose one is coming along.

Sky stuff: Sunsets, missile farts, short, fat rainbows, and a clouds with a smiley face… (or); The sky is burning, I believe my soul’s on fire… (Paul Rogers/Bad Company)…

Is that a hole in the sky???

Uhhhh… does that cloud have a smiley face???

Gotta love those missile test-firings.

An osprey, currently not in the sky, but still sky stuff, more or less.

What a poser!

Lawyers of the sea.

Hi Myrtle.

A sea of trees?

I should have Photoshopped some bubbles in that one.

I’m too sexy for my rock… too sexy for my rock… too sexy…

Stop, you’re making me blush!

Look Ma, no hands!

It’s like flying, only wetter. Also, little cousins may have been present at this time.

First time he was quiet all day. HA!

Basking in glory.

That bird knows a good photo-op spot.

No human or animals were harmed in the making of this blog post.

I swam with a sea turtle once, off Maui. Best day ever.

I feel pretty… oh so pretty…

Lunch time!!!

I am sensing an aquatic theme?

Maybe?

My favorite Italian meal? Turtle-ini.

Well, I thought it was funny.

That guy isn’t smiling.

Tough crowd.

Completely unruffled.

In my defense, I never said all the photos were of live animals. Also, if you held a goldfish in a glass bowl over that, they would probably just die from fright.

See, more nonliving animals.

Well, the gorilla and rose watercolors are coming along.

As are the watercolors of me and and the one of my mother, napping in the sun.

The one of my wife and I is still problematic.

And I have made progress on the acrylic paintings of another rose and my daughter, Mollie.

I have been using that digital image projector to do the sketching part of these paintings. Turns out that drawing the image isn’t the only hard part. Painting is hard too. Above, you see two of the pictures I am working on. They are both roses. One is an acrylic painting, and one is a watercolor.

That one is from a photo I took of my mom, falling asleep in a chair in her backyard. Remember, she was 99-years-old when I took it.

A watercolor of my wife and I, from a photo I took on our anniversary. She does not like to appear on the blog… and, to bee honest, the painting of her isn’t that good… yet.

Using the digital images means that I can not only use it to trace an object or person, but then I can put the image up on my laptop, and use that as a reference. I know, the rose in the photo is blue, but I used real wine to get that reddish color!

See, real wine! It has been mentioned that maybe I should warm up my rusty art skillz by doing something easier than roses and faces of real people. When do I ever listen?

The acrylic-painted rose is not any easier. Roses have deceptively difficult curls.

But the watercolors of me and my soul-brother are coming along.

So, I got a digital art projector for Christmas… part 2… (or); Painting is hard…

I swear, I used to be good at art. But my first attempt at painting a real person- my daughter, Mollie, is not going so well.

Oh yeah… lokks just like her…

I know I just started, but…

Well, that is a little better. I will just keep working on it.

So, I got a digital art projector for Christmas… part 1…

So far, I have figured out the easiest way to use it is to tape my future masterpieces to the sliding door, and then sketch the image that I am projecting.

I started off with a couple of watercolors. A gorilla from a photo I took at the zoo…

And this image of myself. Because… ME!

Now comes the easy part???

I love watching art come to life.

I mean, sometimes I get confused as to which picture is of which of us…

More to follow…
