In this work of art, Kees Verkade has nicely depicted the dynamics and shaky mobility of a cycling lesson. The power of the pushing father speaks from his stooped posture and big step. The small child barely holds the handlebars of the bicycle with the big wheels. The traces of the sculpturing by Verkade are still clearly visible in the cast bronze, which contributes to the dynamic character of the work.
It is a fragile and vulnerable image, with a history of disappearance and destruction.

Kees Verkade heeft in dit kunstwerk de dynamiek en wankele beweeglijkheid van een fietsles goed verbeeld. De kracht van de duwende vader spreekt uit zijn voorovergebogen houding en grote stap. Het kleine kind houdt het stuur van de fiets met de grote wielen maar nauwelijks in bedwang. In het gegoten brons zijn de sporen van de boetserende Verkade nog duidelijk te zien, wat bijdraagt aan het dynamische karakter van het werk.
Het is een fragiel en kwetsbaar beeld, dat een geschiedenis van verdwijning en vernieling kent.

Early Sunday morning... patiently waiting for the bus in the very cold weather...you can hear the foot stamping from a block away......

Curiosity just isn't a quick study when it comes to correlating his biting his and the subsequent pain. That's okay, he still blames his food for biting his tongue at meals. . .

Apparently.. one should not mock another regarding what 'switches' are capable of.. Thanks Paul for the awesome rp looking forward to continuing!
Was really confused and frustrated at the time I drew these this morning. But time between drawing times helped settle some concepts.
Reggio Emilia (Italy), Istituto Musicale "A. Peri", organ lesson with Maestro Renato Negri

I actually had this one in mind for the trees & rocks, looks like it could apply to part of lesson 3 with painting water as well.
I hated Chemistry.
These boys look very studious but then there were was a camera around!
Probably 1960s.
In the movie Under The Tuscan Sun, Katherine tells the story of a girl desperately searching for ladybugs who only finds them when she finally relaxes, takes a nap and awakes covered by the beautiful little insects. A great life lesson, I always thought.
Today, an unseasonably warm day brought hundreds of ladybugs crawling on my house and flying in the woods. Such a lovely seen....just a lovely reminder of a wonderful lesson.
Formerly called "Blue-crowned Motmot", which is now regarded as a complex involving five species and numerous subspecies.
Surprisingly the Cuckmere River opens out a little here (it is tidal to this point) and it is perfectly reasonable to kayak down to the sea (indeed I have done it many moons ago)
Late one night a friend decided they wanted to know how I transform my pictures into custom art creations, like the ones posted in my mental leakage set. The idea was to watch me work through one from start to finish and learn enough to create their own. (it happens every few months, I gave up trying to talk people out of it a long time ago....)
I took a deep mental breath and started playing around while trying to talk them through what I was doing. Where we ran into problems (as almost always happens) was when I could tell them what I was doing, but not why. When I am free-flow playing I tend to go from step to step on instinct and curiosity. I will keep building layers, turning them on/off, rearranging the stacking order, changing opacity, etc etc as my mind wanders. I just go with the flow, rarely do I ever start with an idea and end with that product, it always evolves and changes as I go along.
This time they hung in til the end with me (instead of giving up from overload part way through), and want to do it again. They decided to get a copy of photoshop and play around a bit for a while, then once they understand more of the basics come back for more. That's fine, I'm game whenever they're ready.... I'll use the time as a lesson in patience for me. Lord knows I could use more patience... :)
It's almost 50 years ago, but I think this must de the day that it all started.....
This photo's, made by my dad who had his own darkroom to develop the photo's, I found in my child album. My mom wrote October 1963 near the pictures.
No strobes, No rolfilm, No Zoom, No AV, No TV, but only the basics in that time.
Enjoy!
This reproduction pictures were shot with a Canon 24-105 F4 lens, direct out of the album.
I was to lazy to use a tripod, that declares the lens aberration.
This Moorhen was swimming around in one of the ponds with two young chicks. Probably teaching some well needed lessons at this early stage of life.
I remember coming across this scene and couldn't wait to share it as it was an unusual sight for me and I thought it was so cool and here I am just getting to it 10 months later. Daah!

Printer paper, HB, 2B, 5B pencils
I realise I messed up in a few places, such as the cat's chin. It was to fat at first, and when I tried to make it skinnier, I left the original lines because they were too dark and I didn't want to ruin my eraser... Shame on me I suppose. :P
The eyes are too big, as well, I think. I need to work on drawing more realistically, I know that much.
Any other critical comments help and are appreciated. :)
