OH MY... ooops... perhaps i should try to refix this refix:

it was a tiny photo :)
his fur looked very light in this one... :)

LASTLY--IT IS done and packed, now:
hope this is good... tobia, is so kind, he LIKES all of them:
(wanted it to look more like bamboozal's pic, tobia--hoped this

hey there say, tobia! ... say, i was all ready to mail them today, and well:

i decided to add a tad of dark to bamboozal's face, so he'd look more like him... and i did one of my 'best tricks':

i ruined the face... i been here about SIX hours now and have not fixed it...
so, will have to stay up all night and fix it...

if it is not freezing, i will mail THEM BOTH tomorrow...

sorry--i am very very famous in my house, here, for ruining everything i touch... :)
but--alas, i HAVE to, or i do not get the likeness ... i should settled for less, but i that i not good for portraits...

i am very thankful, though, that i did not have to 'touch up your mom', or
she would be in 'ruined limbo' too, for a few days, :))


it will be okay, before i send it, though, not to worry...
:)

i reckon i should have left it alone... but who'd have thought, ONE tiny DAB would have ruined it... :))

hey there say, all...


this one is NOT done, i need to DO the rail, but,
i've waited sooooooo LONG to get to this and get done, i just
want to 'help myself' feel encouraged, :))

the photo was another 'not very good one and very tiny' :)
but i love the sentiments and love in it...
and WANTED to see it painted...
plus, wanted to make it a surprise gift...

it is A RENEWAL of vows, and the really neat gal is pregnant and her
really neat husband is a really neat guy!
they were italy... :)

i could not find a clear photo of the buildings so they look a
bit 'like a fakey backdrop' :)...but in this case, that's okay,
folks can keep couple more in mind, i reckon...





THIS one, is for mouse's neice (i reckon i ruined the surprise)
... but it will be a surprise, for her, though...
there is something special about having uncles...
i never got to have places to go with my uncles, or even
see them... hope it will be a precious memory of that day:
i think? he said that they went climbing...

am going to send it this week (in case mouse, you are here--so you will know it is on the way, soon)...




:)


"happy neice day" hmmm, is there such a thing?
"happy nice day"

I've just started exploring my new "local" museums in southern California. So far we've made two visits to the Norton Simon. What a great collection they have!

Last visit I was entranced by this Picasso:

http://images.nortonsimon.org/viewer/index.php?id=F.1969.38.10.P

Sorry I can't just post the photo but it's copyright protected.

I just find this painting "Woman with a Book" (1932) wonderful on so many levels. Of course one cannot know what the artist was thinking but I'm imagining Picasso saying "OK, this is how it's done NOW". And getting a kick out of showing off his prowess. He incorporates so many basic, first art class lessons into this piece that it's surely deliberate - e.g. he uses EVERY primary, ROYGBIV, but places them in perfect complements and harmonies so that they are effortlessly showcased around the canvas. Same "lessons" to the viewer on composition.

I also had a chance to spend a few wonderful hours viewing at the Palm Springs Art Museum. They also have a terrific collection.

Great Henry Moore sculptures, a terrific art glass collection, and two excellent current exhibits...

And yesterday we went to LACMA. I haven't really warmed up to LACMA yet, but I'm sure I will.

They have a special exhibit going on about the dresses of Diane Von Furstenberg. That was fun for 10 minutes of psychedelic browsing at the end of our visit:

(Sigh... photo upload not working right now...)

There are some great art walks all along the California coast


Santa Barbara has a great one with a brunch at the Biltmore

Phylp

hey there say, fishfinder... wow, hope you can post the stuff soon...
would love to see it...


i am so much hoping to get to master the portraits, for me, they can be hard, as, no matter what i do, i get 'face warp' as to the OUTTER edges... ONCE i get the that, it goes better...

many times i use tiny photos that have 'caught my fancy'... the last pic of mouse and his niece, was a very nice photo, to start with... :)

i have just finished two more, but one has NOT gotten to its NEW HOME yet, as, i had (yet again) a wrong address..., so far, folks twice, have moved--i usually go by this: christmas cards do not come back, so they have not moved, ;))



here is one of the new ones...



edit:
it's darker, though, like this:
had to use photo shop here for the darkness:



thanks for sharing, fish finder... i'm sure trying with faces... i liked my deer shed painting, and my horse and birds, very much!
im' getting the faces, closer, each time, i try! :)

some get though, but i learn so much... i really enjoy it! though!

Anyone in San Francisco next weekend, Alex Grey will be painting a live show at bicycle day. Wish I could make it, but will be camping. Hopefully someone can go. Nate?
