Pause

Due to the worst case of gout I ever had, in my right knee, I'm currently in Wilmington Hospital, Without many art supplies, except for these colored pencils my friend just brought me. So don't expect too much right away.

Untitled Mixed Media 1

 18" X 24" mixed media

Glued on cut pieces with acrylic paint

on canvas board

Rooster

 This was painted with acrylics on a 6" X 3" canvas board, which was why I had such difficulty with it 

Old collage pieces made years ago

 These are old pieces I recently rediscovered. I made them by applying some metal gears and some wooden cutouts I ordered. All work done with acrylic paints on 8" X 10" canvas boards.

Ducklings In Sun

Ducks are wooden cutouts

Sun is a metal gear

Gears

The gears in Gears are made of wooden and metal pieces I ordered 

My Rothko 1

This image was painted with acrylic paints on a 18" X 24"  canvas board.

It was shot badly with too much light in one corner.

I never liked Rothko because,  toward the end of his life, he was so depressed that he killed himself and you can see this depression in his later work, but there's no denying his genius

City At Sunset

Acrylic paints on six inch square canvas board

 

Exhausted

 Would you believe that at 3am Monday morning, I just had to get up and paint my Tree With Birds? I wanted to try a different technique. I just made a few strokes of color, using these miserable acrylic pens I finally figured out how to use. They are put together terribly. The wrong end of the pens comes off!

So, by 5, I put that in this blog, and Yellow Circle, and City At Sunset, while I was at it.

Hand Pencil Sketch

 Pencil sketch on 3" X 6" canvas

I found these small canvases I bought a long time ago and thought I'd try something I haven't done in a long time. I pencil sketched my hand.

Lines

 I covered a 9" X 12" canvas board with masking tape, then applied black and white acrylic paint. I then removed the tape and filled the tape space with lines from Prang Classic Markers. For the record, I'm no big fan of Prang or their markers. They just happened to be handy.

Dirty

 Acrylic paint and green Crayola marker on 8" X 10" canvas board 

This one was really easy. The day before, I decided to make a few backgrounds, just backgrounds, for future use. 

This morning I looked at this and just pulled out my green Crayola marker. My only problem was keeping the marker from smudging.

July Text Writing

     This is something new for this blog. Usually I just display my latest art pieces on this blog, but I was reading that it would be good for any art fans and viewers of this blog to know what I've been doing lately, so, as far as my art goes, this is what I've done lately
      I've decided to submit more pieces to contests run by the Light, Space & Time online art gallery. While I have never outright won any of their contests or even came close, several times they saw fit to display my work with other great entries and theirvwere even a few times when they said my work had special merit or deserved special recognition, so I decided to enter all three of their current contests.
     For their Primary Colors contest, I entered two copies of my Dog With Glasses prints, one in red and the other in blue.

     For their Animal contest, I again entered my red Dog With Glasses, but this time added my photographic collage, my Dog Nosed Washington.

     Their third contest was honoring their tenth anniversary, so I could enter ten pieces for $10.
      They include:
Demon Eye
