Painting @ MindSay 
art
I was going to title this blog Owl City, but then I wrote Owl Jolson and I decided to talk about that cartoon. Every time I am in this library I feel like someone is going to come up behind me and tell me I have to leave because I'm not doing schoolwork, but this is college and shit doesn't work like that anymore. i also think about getting on neopets but then I know I would never go to class and i can do that at home.
Speaking of home, I wonder whats for dinner? I've had Pepsi and sunflower seeds today, that's all. I'm going to be ridiculously tired when drawing comes around, but we start drawing with pen today! mmmmmm. I love pen. Pen and ink is better, but ink pen is fine.
I've actually been painting a little bit lately and that's nice. Right now I just have backgrounds and stuff down but that's ok. I made my sister a painting for her birthday and that kind of got me on a roll, so yeah. I need to price my stuff so that I can take it to stockbridge with Maddi soon. I wanted to go to the broadway show on friday, but I have no money. :[
I should probably go to class now.

"Okay - So What's The Cost For This Incredible Resource?"
Frankly, I thought long and hard about releasing this exclusive information as part of a 2 week intensive artist’s retreat where they charge at least $800 per person. But, instead of making all of those arrangements and taking time out of my schedule, a friend suggested an ebook as a perfect and convenient way to deliver this information (for you and me). This way, we can both stay home and paint!
That's why the entire ebook package (including the bonuses I’ll tell you about below) is only $37. (Don't worry downloading the .pdf file is a snap and it works for both PC and MAC users plus you still get the bonus listed below.)

Needless to say, this information is jam packed with the secrets to painting beautiful watercolors. Truth is, you'll never find this in-depth information in any other manual. But even with that said, just to sweeten the pot a bit I'm also going to hand you a special bonus to reward you for taking action immediately.

This step-by-step guide gives you detailed instruction on how to draw a man's face, a woman's face, a woman's face from the side, a woman's lips and one of the hardest things to master - drawing eyes.

It's all very heartsy and pink and fuschia-y, don't you think? It's the only image so far that I've scanned in using a big map-size scanner that left scrapes, scratches, and lines on the image that weren't originally there that somehow makes the drawing look retro. Like a poster for an exploitation grindhouse kind of film. That was the intention all along. I don't know if it's my most successful drawing of this kind. I'll let you be the judge. I don't even know what I'm going to do with it. The line "Love Letters Straight from my Heart" comes from an old song and was used in the movie Blue Velvet (one of my favorite films of all time).
Oh, and the shoes! Those are based on REAL shoes by Chanel based on real guns used for heels. Don't you just love 'em?
I really like to paint old forgotten or haunted buildings. I like a painting with a "story".
My daughter in law Lili and I drive around the country taking pictures of the strange, unusual, and sometimes just plain weird to turn into art.
Yesterday we had a great day over around Southwest City. Lots of old barns and such and a really cool cow!
We meet lots of great people while we're out there and the photo ops seem endless.
Anyway, Lili has started a website for me if you would like to see my paintings. (oldfartartstudios.com)
Right now I'm working a piece I call "Lucas". It is a picture of my friends funny little grandson outside her house (yes, I know, I suck at people) but I keep trying anyway.
As for politics , let's just say for now that Limbaugh, Beck, Dobbs are major league holes and worthy of "stoning". I'll talk more about this later...but for now...It's going to be a sunny, beautiful day and I'm going to go ride my bike and take pictures!
Later boys and girls......
I am not a painter, I am a poet.
Why? I think I would rather be
a painter, but I am not. Well,
for instance, Mike Goldberg
is starting a painting. I drop in.
"Sit down and have a drink" he
says. I drink; we drink. I look
up. "You have SARDINES in it."
"Yes, it needed something there."
"Oh." I go and the days go by
and I drop in again. The painting
is going on, and I go, and the days
go by. I drop in. The painting is
finished. "Where's SARDINES?"
All that's left is just
letters, "It was too much," Mike says.
But me? One day I am thinking of
a color: orange. I write a line
about orange. Pretty soon it is a
whole page of words, not lines.
Then another page. There should be
so much more, not of orange, of
words, of how terrible orange is
and life. Days go by. It is even in
prose, I am a real poet. My poem
is finished and I haven't mentioned
orange yet. It's twelve poems, I call
it ORANGES.
And one day in a gallery
I see Mike's painting, called SARDINES.
