    Recent art that you liked

    Yeah I'm surprised that that was not more common. The bands mostly had just lights. Pink Floyd had a inflatable pig. Others were theatrical with their performances. The Philip Glass ensemble performed his sound track of Koyansquatsie sp? with video behind. For this new thing of DJ'd...

    Recent art that you liked

    My daughter and her friends are going to these outdoor EDM/Raves/DJ'd concerts. No actual bands. Behind the DJ are these huge screens or props. I was watching one and this caught my eye. This is just a screenshot of the video. I think it's great art. The whole thing. A far cry from the...

    What are you up to?

    That's very interesting Terri. It just occurred to me that this was probably the pinhole camera effect? At any rate your pic of this is the first I've heard of this phenomena which is surprising. Found this article about it...

    What are you up to?

    Visited a local nature preserve. The skunk cabbage was bursting out of the ground as Spring arrives. This caught my eye. "The skunk cabbage is a flowering perennial plant and is one of the first plants to emerge in the spring. The flowers appear before the leaves and are characterized by a...

    WIP Waves rolling in - Boat or no boat?

    Beautiful painting Murray. I agree with the opinions above. As much as I like boats I like this as is. It has a calm natural emptiness about it that I feel would be lost with a sign of mankind. I think sometimes we want to keep "improving" things but sometimes less is more. An idea for...

    Whirlygigs

    Now that I think about it, we've had a problem with moles. I think we need some whirlygigs! Even if they don't work they will look cool and confuse/amuse our dog. Or he will just pee on them like everything else that sticks up. Oh and they are spelled "whirligig" But does anyone care? LOL...

    Whirlygigs

    I think this is great Terri. The blending of the printed and painted is very interesting. They are different but together. And it makes me wonder. What's a whirlygig again? Oh yeah..... :) "A whirligig is a toy that spins or has at least one part that spins, such as a pinwheel, spinning...

    What are your painting plans for spring?

    Thanks for that Bart. You're right. No need to make it like being in the army. I blame this new motivational book I bought telling me to just get to work. I need to stop reading these things. :) Consistent but adaptive effort ie. do it when we feel like it because there's golf also.

    What are your painting plans for spring?

    Yes. For me it's also a reckoning about just how important my art is to me. Will I make time for it or do something else. This can lead to the uncomfortable realization that maybe it's not as important as I hype it up to be.
