My drawing spot on the sidewalk across Calle Hostas from Meson de Bari. The sun was encroaching--time to finish up. July 15, 2012
Half completed items waiting for attention.
I had intended to spend the morning in the garden but a continuation of the recent heavy rain has caused a change of plan.
Stage three.
I've coated part of the canvas with gesso, mixed with some tea.
Thankfully the sun is still out, although there are ominous clouds.
I love the way that the shadows of the flower stems stand out against the background.
Caithness and Orkney are rich in Neolithic sites and the thing that struck me whilst looking at the rings and burial chambers is that these people were the ultimate mark makers.
One site, Maeshowe, which is the finest chambered tomb in North West Europe is just mind blowing. It is dated to around 5,000 years old and so it is older than the pyramids and Stonehenge.
The awesome thing about it is that later settlers, the Vikings, have covered the walls with runes which date from 1100, so you have evidence of two cultures of mark makers in one place.
This piece which is made from modelling paste on to hand made paper, with the addition of beach detritus, is my first tentative attempt at making marks.
For my next series of sampling I'm using unusual surfaces for stitch.
This is a foil crisp packet which has been ironed ( between two sheets of paper) and then overpainted with shimmering gold interference paint.
Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.
This is a closer look at the device that is on the other end of the system - it has a receiver radio and translates the signals from the buttons into something that the conputer recognizes as a usb keyboard. It is made using hardware and software from the VUSB toolkit.
it currently uses two arduinos as a sort of brute-force solution to a timing issue where both the keyboard software and the radio software expect to be the 300-pound gorilla. I talked to someone at MFNY this past weekend who might have a solution for this problem!
Here's where the painting was when I stopped working on it last night. Hoping to finish it today...that is if Aiden will let me ;)
It's a 6"x6" linen canvas. I'm really liking the feel of the linen as opposed to the cotton...plus it's less prep since I just put one layer of gesso on these as opposed to several on the cotton canvases to get a smoother base.

Close-up of new elbow layout. I like this change a LOT, it allows for full range of motion without looking too gangly.

In 2010 i think Im gonna focus on a new set of work, continuing from my college work of paintings and digital prints, but making it exclusively paintings. I like trying my hand at digital, but its painting that really moves me.
So Im going to do less photography and more paintings in 2010. Im hoping to exhibit them, so I may, may not (?) post them all on here, but show you glimpses of them instead. College isnt going too well mentally, so I need to find a focus to work.
Im also nearly at the end of a 4 year project of painting 3 sets of Buddhist Statues for a local Buddhist Centre's very large shrine, which will be the main focus of the whole community. This has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.
My B.A is looking less likely to be finished as Im no longer enjoying it.......
Thank you to all the artists and photographers on here, who really inspire me to carry on working. xox
For TR, because he inspired it...I just don't have the inspiration or drive to finish it.
The idea was to create a submarine with the ability to deploy an aquatic-capable mobile suit. It more or less can do this, and has the rough shape I want, but I kind of lost interest and want to build something else. Maybe I will return to it one day...
