Quote of the Week

"Christmas comes but once a year, and when it comes, it brings good cheer..."

Are you still feeling it?

Alex sez: Merry Christmas!

Here is my artistic little table-top tree decorated with watercolor ornaments.

I made the ornaments years ago for a much bigger tree, so I had to resize some of them to fit.

It's amazing what can be done with some paper & paint.

A personality bigger than life.

Day of the Dead

I had no specific design in mind when I decided to make this altar. I had the paper mache skulls (more about those later) & the thrift store painting to start with. I moved in some plants & lawn ornaments, flower pots & bottles & it just came together.

You can see it in person today at 1817 Southview Ave. It's in the car port. I'm not serving hot chocolate.

Happy Halloween

Halloween paintings decorate the BART Center.

Pretty with a Twist

I found these recently at a student art show.

Here are two pretty girls who became part of an art class assignment.

The top girl shows a regular assignment of drawing patterns. Using them to produce shadows and form as well as decoration.

The bottom girl is a study of adding interest to the subject with color.

They both are subjects well-drawn.
