Sometimes I get back to painting for a creative release. Especially when I'm asked to do a painting demonstration at a local art guild. For my subject mater I naturally chose the southwest. There is something about the landscape representing huge geometric shapes that I like. Watercolor is the medium of choice here. It is the most magic of mediums. I seems to have it's own mind and never ceases to surprise.
This center piece is of course computer generated. I was to be part of a video short. Unfortunately the copy did not show up very well on the screen. There were resolution problems and it was delegated to the scrap heap. This has added to the problem---THE HUGE SCRAP HEAP. In this case: a storage problem. The storage problem for digital is not as critical as hard copy problems. Rarely to I destroy a drawing, painting, or sketch. When you look at over 40 years of stuff the amount is intimidating. But it could be worse. I was not so proliferate in my earlier years.

The photograph is simply that of a space capsule. No more no less.
