Just some of the street art from Brighton. Love the mural on the wall of The Prince Albert Pub. Great day out with dear old friends
While stopping for gas in the Inwood section of Manhattan I came across this cool bit of street art.
I had just checked in to my birthday bungalow and within 20 minutes created my own culinary magnificence.

So here's my drawing lined up on the horizontal and vertical reference lines. Its a pencil sketch with wide, somewhat fuzzy outlines. I used the rudder-hinge as a vertical datum and the airframe / spinner gap as the second vertical datum. The bottom of the fuselage and the top of the canopy are my horizontal datums.
There are countless errors in my original drawing but a common element that stands out, even after the wing in my drawing has been moved forward, (see leading edge fairing) is that pretty much everything is too far aft, because I made the engine too long and the bay directly behind it too long. I've started to draw-in the canopy and windscreen using hard lines here, but its still too far aft.
You can also see the defect in using .jpg images - the reference lines flare into fuzzy, shapes, rather than crisp lines of pixels. Lesson learned. You can also see that I've got too many vertical lines, in red, AND besides getting rid of those that serve no good purpose, I need to use more than one color for vertical lines. After some experimentation, I found four colors that did the job: Red, orange (tangerine), bright green (spring), magenta, which you can see in the previous photo.

By hand or by machine, Lana adds that homespun touch to all your folk art and country wool projects… Marianne Byrne-Goarin is a "bit and pieces & quilter”, a lover of penny rugs and all things homespun. Her designs mix simple folk art style appliqué with hand embroidery. Soft and sweet like a taste of honey, warm and colorful with a touch of originality, Marianne Byrne-Goarin invites us to take a stroll in her artistic garden.
Coming sooner than you feel. Which isn't always appropriate, but this time it is.

This old school near Seattle's Garfield High School had a whole string of these mini-murals wrapped around its base. This is one of my personal favorites with its swooping balance of angles and curves!

Overcome by a sui generis malaise - I was anxious, frustrated, raging, and bored. I could not make this page look right... The Vodka Collins I was sipping did not assist the piece and I threw her in the garbage.
I woke up the next day with a hangover and a guilt trip and went to dig her out. After all, my lack of creativity and inspiration wasn't her fault. I did not reach her before the full, wet coffee filter, leftover takeout Mexican food, or the dead fly.
I unburied her, placed her on the counter to dry, and went back to working on her. Resurrection!
She is a reminder that I do ART for fun, not because I have the expectation of it being GOOD.
Art is a process, a constant interaction between my heart, my mind and the divine. Sometimes it isn't pretty. Sometimes we can't find the beauty in it.
