My current favorite painting

Ok so here is a close up of that painting I revived that I started early last year, and didn't know what to do with.

I have this Kleenex box I have been carrying around for, honestly 15 or 17 years or so. You can see it in this picture -- it is the scrap you can see directly above the horsehead. You can't really make out what is going on, though....




So, yeah, whatever -- this kleenex box has bad painting of flowers all over it, and I just love it. So I am going to paint the kleenex box flowers all over my horsehead painting.


Yeah, so queen of blurry photos here. This is a rose, in case you couldn't tell.















This is a study I did of a tulip for the painting. I was afraid to paint the tulip, actually--I have never done a tulip. But I just knocked it out in like two hours, super easy.

The rose, on the other hand took about six hours. And I have painted a million roses. I think I may switch to tulips.

This is currently my favorite painting. I am just enjoying working on it. But the one I am working on is always the favorite.

Ok, this is a little insight into my psyche -- this is my Internet Alphabet. Here's how you can generate your own alphabet:

Type the letter 'a' into your location bar, copy the first URL that your browser autosuggests as a completion; repeat for letters 'b' through 'z'. Enjoy the horror.

(I mean really. "E on line? Jesus is Savior? When the heck did I go there? UPN??? I am so embarrased.)

What I've been up to

Ok, I know these are sort of blurry, but if I waited for a perfect photo, I'd never post anything. This is very small, about 4 x 6"















This one is 18 x 22" and still has a long way to go. I started it back in March 05, and finally figured out what to do with it, so picked it up again.

Ceilings are great

Ok, So Scott put the ceiling up in the living room the other day. It makes such a huge difference. I always thought the ceiling was sort of low in there, but it is probably 12 feet. Maybe.











So here is a view of the sink area, you can see how much counter space there is now, and also see the red pendant lamp over the sink. I think it looks great.








This is the view of the fridge and stove, and you can see the little ufo track lighting.
