Have been feeling photographically uninspired of late. More attracted to pencil and pen, beads and wire, cloth and thread. Maybe it's the change of season...
I'm hoping to feel some film-related inspiration soon!
This is an artist's impression of the new kitchen. We placed the order yesterday (1/24), and requested delivery no earlier than April 1 (so it'll be a bit warmer and it won't interfere with some March plans). Professionals will install, but we'll do most of the demo work ourselves as well as re-tile the floor.
I went back to Bampot today with my grrls Ariel and Kasia for my second life drawing class. I found I had a bit more flow for the most part today so that was good to see.
any ideas about tattoo ? A friend of mine requested me to draw a tattoo for him( long long time ago, sorry Oscar I am such a lazy bone!!), as a "Phoenix rising from fire", what a tattoo should be?

This architectural drawing was prepared for D. Logan Esq. by John W. Pender. The plan consists of the front elevation and ground plan of the brick residence, located on the corner of Westbourne and Belmore Rds, Bolwarra, north of Maitland. This is not the plan of the residence that was built- minor changes were made and the rooms were rearanged before the constraction contract was signed. The tender notice was put out on the 10/10/1908 and the constuction was contracted to W. Taylor & Sons on the 2/11/1908. It is thought that the residence was completed during 1909.

Our Lady of Lanikai (rendered in colored pencils)
This unique representation of the Blessed Virgin was inspired by a profound personal experience that I had in 2004 involving a tiny pebble. Back then I had a health crisis during which I was undergoing severe abdominal pains for several weeks - my doctor had scheduled medical testing to determine the cause of my pains, and as I awaited the results, I have to admit that I was a bit anxious.
I went to a nearby beach - Lanikai Beach (see the Comments Section of this photo) - with a few friends to relax and pray, but despite my best efforts, I couldn't rid myself completely of my anxiety. I remember silently asking the Lord and the Blessed Mother to help me and that's when I happened to glance up at the sky above the ocean. I was surprised to see a perfectly round cloud with a letter "V" hollowed into the center of it. I quickly drew my friends' attention to the cloud and we watched it for almost a minute as the sky-blue "V" slowly expanded into a clear shape of a Heart, while the cloud itself retained it's circular form.
After a few more minutes the cloud eventually dissipated, leaving all of us deeply impressed. My friends and I discussed the unusual formations and we all concluded that the blue "V" stood for "Virgin Mary" and the Heart was obviously the symbol for Love; taken all together, the whole event was interpreted as a personal sign from the Blessed Mother that she would take care of me... but the matter didn't end there.
I continued to pray, and as I did so, I absent-mindedly picked up clumps of sand and threw them into the ocean. I noticed that a single sand pebble remained sticking to one of my fingers, and when I took a closer look at it, I was amazed by its appearance - the pebble bore an uncanny resemblance to a classic Madonna-and-Child figure, almost like a tiny 1/2 inch statue of the Holy Virgin carrying the infant Jesus (see the Comments Section)! As I pondered this additional grace my heart was further eased and I was filled with immense peace. Needless to say, my test results were favorable as they brought to light a minor intestinal condition that was easily treated with medication.
This drawing depicts the unusual cloud formations that I witnessed on that fateful day in 2004, and in the center, I drew a stylized representation of the Madonna-and-Child image that I believe to be present in the pebble that I found on the beach. Behind the Virgin is beautiful Lanikai Beach with it's blue waters and world-famous famous "twin islands".
