Monday Smorgasbord

Transfered this photo to computer this morning. It isn't the picture I intended to take last night, but  I like the murkiness. I really am not too swift when it comes to taking pictures with my Smart Phone. You can own one, it doesn't make you brilliant. I didn't have it set to auto and the flash bounced off the windshield obliterating the sky which was to be my focal point.   


Sunday was a day of devices. I downloaded Infinity
on my iPad . I discovered I could freeze the action in movies 


By freezing the frame, I discovered a new source for a lot of fast drawing action.
My quicky this morning.

Then there's laundry  come around hell or high water. Looks like there's going
to be some ironing to do too. Yuk.  A day of art interruptus.

Watercolor set up as I left it. Saturday. I gave all painting a rest .  Today, I
noticed it really is time to cook those peppers. I'll cut out the black spots.


IN THE STUDIO STEVE AND ZAC WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT.

This is where I left off to go play in the water last week. I marked where Zac's left eye should be, now I just have to get it there. I have improved  the lighting on Steve. Taken at noon, his skin tone on the left  has been brought up to nearly white. I'm still working on the values of Steve's left side and Zac's more shaded skin tones.  Zac's highlights wouldn't be as bright as Steve's; Steve is blocking him from the sun.  Do you see why I turned to peppers last week? Nothing but hard work her.


AND THEN A TUNE FROM A TV COMMERCIAL MADE ME FORGET TODAY'S SMORGASBORD OF ACTIVITIES : It reminded me of Zorba's (Anthony Quinn) Dance on the Beach in Zorba The Greek, a great movie, great actor, and great painter. Quinn is inspiring.


Anthony Guinn's painting of Zorba. Aren't multi-talented people disgusting. Don't you wish...
Quinn's own style..  The colors of Mexico, his origin of birth; a Cubic double portrait.
