PING!

Ping. Ping. Ping is a Chinese name and this corresponds with the sound of a dozen or more Chinese guns and pellets that my brother carted over to grandma's this weekend. He had some good ones mixed in too and brought some of his knife creations--when I get those pics, I'll post. Perhaps I'm stretching it here, but we'll say shooting is an art form!
Targets: Paintballs set on golf tees or long darts. (Shhh. and birds. junk birds.)

Trial and Error?

Every once in a while, when I get in the mood to try something 'new', I have a trial go at it. This week I printed out a 6-valued, posterized image and painted right on top of it with every bright, glitzy, and glittery color I could find. Uhhh. Errr. Hmmm. Kitschy Klimt. I'm not sure what to think. I did sell a kitschy painting for $650.00 though... and people seem to like this one!
People actually do this and sell their 'work'. Isn't that cheating? It's just like 'paint-by-number', except the underlying printer's ink bleeds up and discolors everything and not in a good way!
Makes me want to finish an oil painting that I started of Bailey a long time ago...or do the whole thing over only with REAL paint this time....
