Recently I came across an innovated form of art called Zentangle.
Among other things Zentangle is a meditative practice recommended for relaxation and for stress relief . Rather like a doodle the emphasis is on relaxing and allowing the patterns to form with out too much contrivance. Usually rendered in black ink after a while I tended to prefer the addition of coloured pencils. Here is one of my attempts at Zantangles or art work inspired by Zentangles.
Today's artwork is from my current show, it's title is Deep Healing and it's acrylic on paper. This one is the favorite in the show. I wish you could see it in person because it is actually very vibrant.
Last night was another fun night in the gallery, Dean Estes was sculpting and I was talking to people about my art and in the coffee house there was a wonderful singer Gayle Chapman who we really enjoyed a lot. ( You can hear her on that link) Paul and Tanner hung out in the coffee house the whole time and enjoyed the music.
Last night I came down with a cold, bleh. It's so strange that I felt great all day and even got the house clean and then came down with it, oh well, it will pass.
Tanner is going to spend time with some friends today and I'm off to see my little mom and do some shopping.
This wash drawing is from a set of designs for a Ladies and Animals sideboard depicting them in various relations with one another, which was Edward Burne-Jones' gift to his bride on 9th June 1860.
The particular drawing shows one of the nicer relations between lady and animal, where the 'kind and attentive lady' is feeding some pigs.

6B pencil. I realized I drew her thumb on the wrong side (!) but I 'fixed' it when I painted it : )

Hanging the wealthy in the chimney
Rotterdam, Boijmans van Beuningen
collectie.boijmans.nl/en/object/90660/Hanging-the-Wealthy...
The title is not convincing in respect to the hung person;
he is rather slim and therefore most certainly not a rich or wealthy man. Yet it is evidently a strange execution scene, we see on the right of the chimney the sword of the hangman, in the chimney hangs already another delinquent.
But I never saw an execution within a chimney !
Perhaps another proverb fits better:
The big thieves hang the little ones.

I mostly used black gel pens/ ink pens and pencils (HB) on office/printer paper A4 sheets - cheap but effective :P
I won't be able to do origami for a while now, so I thought I'd post these drawings here...The shittier the drawing, the younger I was XD.
Hope you all like it.
C.S. French Residence, East Orange, NJ
W. Halsey Wood, Architect
Drawn from a picture in American Country Houses of the Gilded Age by Arnold Lewis
Lewis writes:
"this was a most unusual and striking house, a distinctive manifestation of the design tendencies of the early 1880s. "
He also notes that some of the woodwork and trim gives the impression of interior trim that has mistakenly been placed on the outside. What is curious to me is the brick work. The bricks were lain rather haphazardly, some in arbitrary patterns, others in neat courses. It almost looks as though two masons were working right next to each other but paying absolutely no attention to what the other one was doing.
Lewis further writes that the house, which stood at Arlington and Park Avenues has been razed. It was built for French, a dealer in coal and wood.
It's one of my many favorites from the book. And apparently it had some contemporary fans as well, as there is a house in Cincinnati, Ohio that is clearly a copy of this plan and elevation. The designer (plagiarizer?) of the Cincinnati house however, toned down some of the starkness and razor-sharp edges of the original house and did the details in a more "traditional" Colonial Revival-esque mode.
It does not make quite as bold an artistic statement as Wood's original concept, but I'm very glad to see a derivative of his fantastic work still standing as an homage to the original.
