Linda, Vincent, John, A Camera and Pencil


This witch didn't make it out of the house Halloween.
She had a pain management side effect. Why she looks happy, I have no idea.
It was a big disappointment. The reason the photo is blurry is
 most likely the web cam. It's always kind to old broads, but she could have moved?


Consequently, my Halloween loot was pitifully meager, but a favorite, so no tricks.

The complete works of Vincent arrived Friday morning.  It's gigantic!
Weighs four and a half pounds. Hard to hold on your lap,
but oh so inspiring. You can feel  and smell the paint. I still
couldn't find the back lighted women sitting on a bench
It's a big book, bigger than George Washington, but then he didn't paint.

Breakfast on Saturday with Vincent and Sargent doing a little "After Sargent"doodle.


Miss Borgatti didn't come out too shabby and made me feel better after Wednesday's flop in oils.

A restaurant scene found on the Minolta's chip. Nice darks. Dramatic lights.
Painting material?  I don't know yet. It's one of the photos I found seeing
if the camera stiill works. It so light weight and better than a cell phone.

I like this one better for painting. VG has me thinking shapes and  dark values.

And this interior interests me a lot.  It's the box office at the Purple Rose Theater, Jeff Daniel's pet project in Chelsea, MI
We went last summer.  We're going again Christmas week.  Good stuff.


Blur is what happens when you've had too much wine at lunch catching
up with old friends till the early birds starts drifting in for dinner--or from
a digital camera with a dying battery?  I have to check that out.

The photographer wasn't credited. Honey told me there was a good story
behind it too.  I haven't read it yet. I had to get down the positioning and the curious facial expressions.
