I created this from some pictures I took of the Japanese Maple that was in front of the family home in Getzville before we moved. The red leaves reminded me of the change of seasons up north and the leaves are falling, cool crisp breezes signally the beginning of Fall.
This is the house across the street. Historic in it's own right, a work in progress that I get to watch daily progress.
At first it was just playing with the lines and the shades of gray. It is interesting to see the vitality of the lines now that they intertwine with each other.
I created this piece of digital art using the picture of my legs in the hospital bed (see previous blog entry). I thought it was appropraite that two months later I am recovered and getting back to my old self.
Spent today in the studio working on a few paintings. This is the latest version of "Angel", you may recall it was orginally "Angel Wings", and it is being reworked. 
Today was about listening to your inner voice. We have lots of them. When you listen to them they will transform you. They can transfix you. They can translate for you.
In many ways each of these art are family related by common transferred to the child canvas that is was created from.
You can look at these pieces individually and each stand on there own, or you can transverse the transcribed abstracted emotions and transfer those emotions into your own psyche.
Well the Doctor and Surgeon have given the ok for me to return to my corporate job on Monday. I have been building my strength up by getting up early and staying awake all day (no more afternoon naps, darn). I worked some more on "wings" today.
I also took a picture of this painting that I have been trying to decide if it is done.
My artist friend, Jim Frederick loves and I usually disagree when it comes to full color. Jim usually stains and watermarks his paintigs and they then have a more muted feel to them.
In an effort to keep myself entertained I resorted to my old comforts. I got the new version of Jewel Quest II (jealous Jim & maFred?) and I watched the Wizard of Oz. 
Both let me pass the time, and reflect.
Today I ventured into the studio. I lasted the full 5 hours and the studio tour. The traffic was sparse but I met a few very nice individuals and that is all you ever need.
This is a scan of a painting done by my mother. I have also enjoyed looking at this painting of water lilies.
Today I took my attitude and said get out of the house and see what life has to offer today. So I went to a local diner for breakfast. I brought my camera along becuase you never know when either inspiration will strike or you'll be in the right place at the right time to capture a moment.
Just another version... this will be another digital sketch for a painting.
This is a digital painting that I did. I think this is one that I may try to recreate on canvas. It will be interesting to see if I can achieve the same brightness and if I can blend the colors as well as I did here.
Seattle artist Phil Hanson painted 30 different people that influenced him one on top of another on his torso, then he trimmed a little off of the edges, took that strip and rolled it up.
This is a piece that I created using several photos that I took of some nightlights in my home. I was reminded of Matisse's cutouts when I was working on this image.
Today I spent time working on updating my website, or at least tried to. I had some problem when I went to save it so I might have to work on it some more.
