It's a whole new year.

Happy new year! After a dull and medically horrific season I feel the new year has finally begun! I had some time to do some painting and just WENT CRAZY! There are canvases everywhere. Winter scenes, beach scenes, nude guys, portraits of friends... good lord I must be sublimating. Also, it is too damn cold to go out and hunt up some men (I think it was zero today).

Well, this past weekend was also a load of fun. Haven't had a group of guys come over to hang out and play around for hours in a while. One guy kept telling me he was going and then hanging around a little more (what did you tell them at work...)

Went around town to snap a few city photos, I think that they will sell as paintings - I hate to use commercial pictures and it's too damn cold out to work. Will anyone with a nice view invite me over!

Fun

OK, THAT was fun.

I really needed that. I hope that guy's butt will be OK, after a pounding like that, but really - I needed that. (PS, thank you)

Great winter pics with all this snow, so now it's back to painting for me. I seem interested in water lately. I got some great shots of snow, ice, water reflections... I wish I lived closer to the shore I would like to do some gray ocean stuff.

I wonder if I can make anything interesting out of the same old commercial stuff. If there is anything that comes out differently than what goes in, it would be those deep, deep colors - dark. I wonder what street scenes would look like with almost no light? And what is it with blue gray? everything comes out blue gray...

Also, I added a link to some of my paintings on my main page>> CLICK HERE...

Winter wonderland

A ton of snow can make a day beautiful and magical, unless you're horny - then it is a nightmare of NO SEX.

I was way too horny to paint this past weekend. Trapped inside the house with a population of men that only want a guy to just show up at the door when needed (me included).

So now this week I'm out to find a guy. I swear not to REST untill I get mine! Then I can settle down to my next project, which is a painting/construction with depth and three dimentional layers... with sculpy!

I just love to photograph in the autumn. It isn't simply the too-bright light and the crisp fall colors around you... sometimes It's just the monochromatic feel of the day. I think I was a bit too influenced by Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimangaro". That terse, clipped style coupled with his bleak alienated settings and unengaged characters is just too, too BERGMAN!

How youth wallows in self actualization!
