It's almost midnight, the winds are heavy around 40-50mph... all my windows are taped up with duc tape
While I have time and the computer has power and internet connection I am creating some digital images. This is one that reminds me of water cascading over rocks... appropraite given the water that will be flowing during IKE.
This is the house today at 5pm
This is the house this morning at 8am.
I created some IKE art from the weather.com satellite photo of the hurricane that is preparing to hit Houston.
Will be interesting to see what other photos and art get created this week. Just hope one of those items isn't a handmade sign for me to hold while I am on the roof of the house!
I spent the weekend in the studio working. I finished the commission piece, that you see here. It is called "watermelon catalyst". 
These are photographs were taken the night of August 7th around Midnight. I know this because I Twittered about it.
The lights, the wet streets because of rain. Something was happening down the street.
Makes you realize how life can change in an instant.
Tonight I watched the DNC on PBS and am reminded of the reasons why I am a Democrat. 
This is how the commission piece is progressing. When I walked into the studio today this is the way I last left it, three weeks ago.
piece is called "Celebration", while it still needs to be varnished, I think it is finished. 
Happy Birthday, Dad!
I took the digital doodle and played with it in photoshop....and this is what came out. I think I prefer the original more simple drawing.
Houston was visited by my Dallas Friends Tim, Stephen (aka PH), Steve and Rob. We spent the evening visiting the art studio at Winter Street.
Where we were treated to a wonderful sunset from the roof top.
Which reflected on the buildings of the Houston skyline.
I created this abstract from the cover design that I did for a brochure that will be used for my 30th High School Reunion. This summer my class of 1978 of Williamsville North High School will celebrate along with the class of 1978 of Willamsville East High School. Our two classes entered Williamsville North in the ninth grade, only to be split in two when they build the new "east" high school.

I created my first digital portrait today. This is using a new electronic gadget. I am such a geek. It records the drawing as well as the sound. Thus this is a drawing that also captures the voice, story and spirit of my artist friend, Robert Derr, who agreed to be my first model.

I took a photo

A check arrived in the mail, another sold painting ! Yeah, we like that.
Happy Fathers Day!
I have had an interesting few evenings with artist friends who I have randomly, and quite spontaneously ran into. Each person has their own stories. I like stories. I remember Robert speaking about the comfort of sitting in this chair. "Wow, this is a deep chair" he said. I created this drawing from memory of him sitting in the chair and we swapped stories. Another artist friend, Alex, dropped by yesterday evening. Alex is deaf... but he sure can talk alot, anything but silent. My evening have gotten me away from the lonely routine I have found myself retreating. Re-energizing my creative thought processes, re-energizing my social skills and making plans with other artists and friends. 
Created this new digital piece... it needs a title... leave a comment with your suggestions.
more to come...
Created these images from photos taken today as I walked the streets of downtown Houston. One was of a mirrored sculpture piece on a wall that was exposed building. The final was that of my windows going through the car wash. In filtering the images (the B&W is my personal favorite)... and then combining them to create new works. Not sure what they say as they remain abstract.
