Georgia, Peyton, Harmony, Ruddy, Dan, Julia and Paul, some of the 13 member activist climb team on the ground after the action in Cathedral Park in Portland, Oregon, July 30, 2015. The team stayed under the St. Johns Bridge, rear, for 39 hours and 35 minutes attempting to prevent the Shell-leased icebreaker MSV Fennica from passing under the bridge to join Shell's Arctic drilling fleet.
Drove the loop Santa Barbara - Ojai - Carrizo Plain - Morro Bay - Santa Barbara yesterday. Certainly no "superbloom" at Carrizo Plain this year - the condition is best be described as "no bloom at all". Shell Creek Road was the only notable display of wildflowers we encountered.
Nouvelle histoire du monde. Histoire du New World Disorder écrite sur coquillage. Histoire de belge bouffeur de moule. Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais beaucoup d'artistes belges sont obsédés par ces coquilles vides.
Second floor mantel. Even though the house was started about 1790, much of the interior was not finished until the early 1800's. That's how it got it's name. They said they were living in a shell of a house. This mantel is in one of the rooms that was finished later. It looks to be more Federal than Georgian.

You would think there were plenty of photos to take on a beach, without having to manufacture them :))

I found a lot of shells with starfish holes on them - brought a bunch home and made a simple wind chime. Most likely it will tangle, but that is okay - I will just have to try to untangle it.
Balanus amphitrite (little on on the side of the biggest barnacle) and probably is Megabalanus californicus. The pinkest shells in front are from off the coast of southern California. The big one in back (with the little barnacle on its side) is another megabalanus and is from Australia. The little barnacle (sideways) is Balanus amphitrite.
I had not managed to take a Project 365 photograph during the day. I found these shells at home in the evening and decided to see if I could make a photograph out of them.

Today I walked Ruby in the two woods and turf fields as Jackie has sprained her ankle again. Then I walked from Southease north along the river to Lewes and back so about14 miles in all. It was breezy but still hot up to about 28 degrees still the wildlife was out and about so lots of images.

Getting better. This is for the Strathmore watercolor sketching workshop I'm taking.
I'm trying two new things today. First I tried a technique called the double transfer. It's used by scientific illustrators to make an exact drawing. I photographed the shells on a white background remembering to overexposed the image by +1 E.V. (stop) in order to get a good white. I then transferred the file to my iPad, cropped it in Photogene, sized it in Pages, and printed it to plain paper using my Epson NX430 wireless printer. I then traced the shells onto thin tracing paper using a soft pencil. Here's where the double transfer comes in. You fold the tracing paper so that more tracing paper covers the original tracing. You then burnish the tracing with your fingernail or the edge of a spoon to transfer the graphite to the back of the folded piece. You then transfer that image to your art material by placing the tracing paper with the graphite down and burnishing again. By transferring the graphite twice you don't get a mirror image. If you do it right, you get a very faint pencil outline of your subject that is photo accurate. It's an interesting process to try, but I don't think I'll use it very often. It's more suitable for a finished illustration than for sketching. I'd rather just do a quick drawing.
The other new thing I tried today was to use my iPad to scan and upload my sketch to Flickr. In the past I used my desktop computer to scan, edit and upload. The Epson NX430 printer is also a wireless scanner. So, I scanned the sketch directly to my iPad, rotated, straightened, cropped, and resized the image in Photogene, and used FlickStackr to upload it to my Flickr photos.
