revolver being cocked. The cylinder of the forty-four magnum

This image is completely computer generated. To me is is sometimes to play with the image altering programs and try to produce abstract art. I believe that the computer can be used as a medium like paint or collage or photograph or whatever. I have seen the photographic images manipulated by image processing programs. Why use an image to begin with? Why not create your own? Is that not what creativity is all about?


Today was a non-painting day. I moved files to my computer dedicated to art and print production. It was a good day though windy. The leaves moved in swirls and waves and attacked the house with force. The power that could not be seen, only the results thereof...

As Juanita left the jukebox, I thought I heard the sound of a


Just another day of paint and stuff. Heard some good jazz yesterday and had some bad food at Applebee's. Maybe I should rephrase. I didn't like it. Why is food always spicy now? I don't like it. And don't eat it unless I don't have a choice. I will be happy when the fad is over. What causes the heat anyway? Is it acid or what? I don't know.

The painting is acrylic. It is aptly names 105 Church

Argh-gh-gh!!

Yesterday was a bummer. Worked at the co-op gallery all day. I was late leaving home and had to shave on the freeway. Ate very little. I must lose weight due to my heart condition. Today I have been busy designing and printing a new brochure of my work. Hewlett-Packard makes a great pre-scored product for use in producing your own brochures. Like anything else the design, lay out and photo prep take a lot of time. I'm sure it will do it's job and create mor awareness of my work and generate sales.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday I tried to coax the image from the canvas but it would not happen. I've recently started working with acrylic paints as opposed to my usual watercolors. Right now the learning curve is quite steep. And I am under the gun. i need twenty pieces pinished by Feb. 28 for a show. Here is a recent acrylic on paper. It was painted on the reverse of a dicarded injet print and is only 7 x 5. These small pieces are great fun to do.
