NEW HORIZONS, OLD MEMORIES

I've been busy working on new ways to create images. With the use of the computer I have been combining computer printing with painted pieces. I have been applying heat transfers over acrylic paint on paper. This can be used to strengthen a weak painting with heavy graphic images. Stencils are used to let the printer print through the stencil and the use of origami pieces as well. Reasonable successful have been my efforts to print on substrates other than paper.
A recent trip to Texas was the imputus to create some new sketches and the photos were put together in a slide show with narration and music. I used Windows Movie Maker. We also saw some great art work in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Kimbell Museum in the same city. We missed one museum we had wanted to visit in order to go to Billy Bob's Texas, the largest honky-tonk in the world.
Now, I'm back to creating art work and would be a lot faster if I could figure out my new mp3 player!

And, by the way, the above painting is of a swamp buck, buckus swampus. One of the lesser know creatures of cryptozoology, it lives in the swamp and marshlands of the southeaster United States.
