what the heck is going on with this wall?

and breathe out slowly...

so yesterday was the 1st time in ages that I drove anywhere & didn't yell at any other drivers the whole time. It's progress.

No Excuses

So here it is, 1 year after I started this blog. I've made a little progress with painting but not what I had hoped for.
2 weeks ago I was laid off from the job I'd held for about 9 1/2 years.
It is official, I have no more excuses as far as making time to work on my art.
Unfortunately the change from working full time at full speed to days of doing laundry and cleaning the house has shocked my brain into a strange lull and lack of inspiration and creativity. Let's hope it is not a sign of things to come.

5 photos

Here are 5 photos that I submitted to a photo competion in Philadelphia.

new painting

Here is a new painting. It's called "skinny dogs".

They are watching you

I am amazed at these new spy drones.

This one really reminds me of the big white security ball (Rover) in "The Prisoner"

Click on this link to read more & see a really cool video of the drone in action:

This next one is video of a hummingbird shaped drone & it is amazing. I know I wouldn't think twice about a small hummingbird in my backyard unless it followed me into my house.

Be seeing you!

New Orleans

Went to New Orleans for a few days. I love New Orleans & can't wait to go back. I could take photos all day long for days. I also love Abita beer & all the food.
Here are some of my favorite photos I took with my Holga:

You can see lots of other photos from New Orleans below on my Flickr page:
