"ATL"

Photograph taken during July 4th trip to Atlanta of a building damaged by the tornadoes a few months ago.

What a lazy bum!

I am totally and completely ashamed at my lack of painting a day commitment. I hope that you all note that I did qualify my blog with the title "lay about artist" and it's true.

I've been spending most of my free time researching and stressing about my Punk Rock Plates project. The original plan was to have my designs manufactured preferably in the states but possibly overseas. That plan didn't pan out. My backup plan has been to get a kiln and hand paint pre-fired bisqueware. That plan is working out better.

I test fired the kiln on Sunday. I'm still tweaking the glazes but I should have samples and some sets available for sale in the next 2 weeks.

I do have some ideas for paintings rattling around in my noggin so I'll be getting to work soon and you can again be amazed at my artistic genius. (or something like that)

Today was spent running a bunch of errands so no painting time. Here is a failed water series crop.

Contrast tweaked in Photoshop CS3


It was a busy day today. I worked on yesterday's painting some more and started the underpainting for the next in the series. Both are still in progress.

Messed with in Photoshop CS3.

I did actually do some painting today. Shocking... I know. I didn't finish my painting but the progress can be seen below.

"Orange Trees" 16x20 Acrylic on canvas board

From the Plein Air Workshop with John Kilduff from Let's Paint TV. This was the first time I've taken this sort of approach to a painting and worked with so much paint so quickly. It was a lot of fun.

Thanks to DFAC and Kelli for hosting such a cool event!
