Under the Influence of the Ol'Alvaro

---

There is so much fuss about the big two in the cyber-waterworld that a person (namely me) can't help but be influenced. I like Castagnet's ideas about deep, rich colour. But I also like some of the traditional breeziness that is possible with watercolour. Who knows? This is a full sheet of Arches cold press and W/N paints. Oh and I painted this with some kind of synthetic no. 36 brush that is huge...

Once Upon A Time * * *

Painting While on Drugs

---

Okay, fine, not hallucinogenics or however you spell that, but painkillers for kidnoid stones. I woke up in the middle of the night with cultured stones in inconvenient locations and my computer also crashed at the same time. They gave me some totally useless pills at the hospital after giving me a useful shot in the...I painted this while on the good stuff.

I doodled up the ridiculous house, another logger production with Gothic Victorian influences and bushwacker finishing touches.

I was actually exploring the concept of shadows changing the shapes of objects and how this affects composition...before it all went down the drain...

Here It Is...Again

Endsville Expanded

See Ya in the Funny Papers

It occurs to me that I probably wanted to be a cartoonist. "See ya in the funny papers!" was a favourite parting comment in my family. Seemed like a grand objective to a child. I also "interviewed" a famous cartoonist as a kid (I was the kid). I also have loved all things automotive since childhood, especially the designs of American cars. And of course watercolour. So I guess painting dopey car pics is natural. I am after the entertainment factor. No mask, little reference material just draw and paint. I am avoiding the inevitable, which is plein air landscraping.

Crayola Bollard Fencing

Don't blame me, I only record the facts as I make them up. The loon who built this shack way back in the day fancied himself an artiste who specialized in using ordinary building materials to whimsical effect. So he decided to build a fence using cast iron pipe and concrete with chain connectors. He then painted the "bollards" to look like crayons and used the same colours to highlite the house. You can only see traces of colour on the house...if you squint, but there is still paint on the posts.

All Busted Up
