snowed in, again

This is ridiculous!  You’d think we were still in Chicago!  I AM getting a lot of work done, but I would love to be able to drive to town when I want to.

I’ve tried paintingIcy DrivewayTree of Life my driveway, not in western perspective, but flat like African art.  However I’ve put the mountain in “correctly”.  To get all of the snow you’d think I’d just paint it titanium white, w/ a black ribbon for the road.  There was a lot of color in the River, so I tried it.  Now I have to wait for it to dry enuf to add in some white hightlights.  Also, the light is very different when it’s snowing, than when the sun comes out.  THAW!  I’ll make the rest up!  More on the Tree of Life.

killed it

I added a lot more paint to the top of the tree, with the painting upside down.  So there will be drip marks flowing “up”.  I also added a little space ship w/ a solar array.   When this dries enuf, I will highlight some areas.3-1-10

Tree of Life

I think I’m “just before” killing this painting.  I don’t know what’s bothering me.  Maybe I was foolish to try such and odd ratio.  This is not the golden mien!2-27-10

antenna

Hugh was trying to help get wi fi in my studio.  We went home for lunch.  His cell would only stay connected if he made himself a human antenna.  Ah, the joys of country living!Hugh, human antenna

The moon needs work

You may not believe this, but I can see things in these photos that I miss in the studio.  Since I’m using a flash it highlights things.  Instead of glowing, my moon looks like it’s having a solar flare.  So I know what this afternoons project it.  Tree of Life

Several

I work on several paintings at once.  Some need to dry and some need time to percolate in my mind.  “Vision” has monofilament running thru it.  The socket is not part of the art!  River is part of the spirals.Vision2-9-10River

tree

The tree is thrusting into space.  If birds evolved from dinosaurs, what will humans evolve into?  Will the trees evolve so they can grow into space?Tree of Life

Tree of Life

More spirals.  I need to emphasize the edge of the world at the bottom.  Would different colors make this more appealing?  Yeah, to who?  Am I once again relying more on color than structure?  Are my paintings skeletonless?Tree of Life

River

I’m stuck on spirals.  Besides DNA, they describe paths, like a rivers.River
