Old stuff

This is one of my favorite photos. But first a little about the history. It's me and my favorite uncle. But it's more than that. I'm on the left and when I was a wee lad he would play with me and show how the Indians rode bareback and so on. Someone took this photo of us at a family cook-out. I had on a solid black t-shirt. Once I saw the photo, I thought : "What if..." I found an old black and white photo of us some 55 years earlier. I looks pretty good on the shirt, don't you think? Oh, the magic of image processing software! Unfortunately, my uncle is now deceased and never saw this photo.

Images et al

I have been playing with pastels. I love the way the bright colors are blended on the paper. I have been using merely simple Wal-Mart pastels, no great quality here. All is done without the use of a drawing. The paper is from or rather is sketch book 60lb. paper with very little tooth. I've not been able to do much art due to visitors from out-of-town. however, that did precipitate finding a new Mexican restaurant. I like tamales. I'm continuing to edit video when converting from vhs to dvd.

I've rejoined "Wetcanvas" to add some comments and uploaded another video to YouTube. Check these out at www.youtube.com/ty2u

Great Balls o' Fire

The creation of paintings hasn't been going well. I've been wasting trees. But, not really. The failures will be recycled as collages. To create collage materials is not the reason paintings. I've been editing videos. I'm a glutton for punishment. I'm sticking in this bit of video just for fun.
There is a time and place everything or so they say. Did you ever ask who they are?

Been working with video. it's a creative endeavor also. This is one of my first experiments with "green screen" I ripped the hottie from the Ulead demo and the paintings are mine. The most difficult part was getting the motion synchronised. But it works. The next project is a tour through a virtual gallery led by the painter. Ulead software was used.
