While I was in the garden this morning I noticed that some of the shiny baubles I had placed in a container were missing. It’s not the first time this has happened and the culprit is usually a crow.
Later when I went to take the garbage out, there was a crow with his “beak in [...]

It’s been one of those days where there’s so many ideas buzzing around in my head and just too many other distractions going on to really focus on them.
Hopefully I will have a chance to work on some of these tomorrow.

Later I played around with a couple of new ideas I wanted to try. As with all things, especially related to art, there are no guarantees.

Life is a Journey, and the experience of being immobile for a few days, really makes one appreciate the little things we take for granted everyday. It taught me patience with my own body, something that can be very difficult to do these days, with everything needing to be done yesterday.

The Lady of the Lake painting is finally finished. I used Painter IX, the only program on the market that can simulate what traditional painting mediums can do.
First I used a customized pencil to draw the woman and sword with scabbard. Then I created a new layer and began laying in color, working on [...]
