While driving home from shooting at an abandoned amusement park, my friend Don spotted this place from the road. I am not sure if it is an old mill, factory, or what. All I know is the one marking was a stone engraved with "1864".

Taken at Joshua Tree National Park.

These imposing trees share the lineage with the tallest living organism on Earth-Hyperion, a Coast Redwood that is 379.7 feet tall!!! These trees are among the oldest living organisms as well. The ones that I saw were not nearly as large, but as they are protected in this forest, will hopefully one day grow that big. It is estimated that 95% of old growth Coast Redwoods have been logged.

A giant Dicksonia antarctica tree fern.

I pass this tree on my way back from work. Today I had the big camera with me. And being a public holiday, there weren't many people around, so I was able to take 3 quick exposures from across the road.

A tranquil lakeside scene with lush green trees lining the shore and a clear blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The calm water reflects the vibrant colors of the sky, creating a peaceful and idyllic atmosphere

A FUN EXPERIMENT!

Done with Gesso, Tissue Paper, Watercolor & Acrylic.

For anyone who might be interested, this is the technique.

I used a heavy backing board from a sketch pad.

I Gessoed it completely using a palette knife to spread it thin but cover well.

I tore pieces of white tissue paper and applied it using more gesso as the glue, with an old stiff brush.(Keep brush wet and rinse occasionally).

Let the pieces form wrinkles and bumps...you are going for texture, but make sure there are no air pockets under the tissue. You can make the ridges and grooves as thick or thin as you desire.

Let it dry completely.

Now you can draw on it and/or just freely apply any medium.

Quite different than painting on paper however...:)

The Asian Occasion: Part 0

We start our long-awaited vacation by taking a plane to L.A., and celebrating the beginning in style with Steve's brother Jon and enjoying all that Southern California has to offer. It's crazy there, but I just might want to come back.
