This is for the Flying Mokeskin Project. Please click on over to that Blog HERE to read about this image.

This was for Adebanji Alade's book. Please take a look at this very talented artist's work HERE.

I'm back....

No, I wasn't stuck under a large piece of furniture, just needed a little time to regroup and re-energize!

The top piece is for the Flying Moleskin project. You can get more info on it by going to that BLOG.

The second piece, you'll recognize is that daggone University piece. I think I'm finally happy with the shadow color on the bridge. What do you think?

International Women's Day

My blogger pal Narayahan wished me a Happy Women's Day last night around 10PM. I told him I didn't know what he was refering to and he told me March 8 is International Women's Day.

So I Googled and found the website for International Women's Day and was enlightened that this is a national holiday for several countries and started way back in 1911. So 'Thank you' Narayahan for letting me know about this.

Now this painting has nothing to do with celebrating Women's Day but I thought I would post it because it features a woman. It is a painting for the Flying Moleskin Project. Vern Schwarz left the subject for his book up to us. I've always admired the glamor of the 40's. This is loosely based on a photo of Gene Tierney. It is oil on gessoed paper about 10x8.

Debut of the Flying Moleskins

I was honored when asked by fellow artist and blogger Dominique Eichi to join in the inaugural launch of the Flying Moleskins project. Thirteen artists from all over the world are participating in a unique format.

The usual method of passing art books for people to contribute some are is to have one single book which goes back to the original owner.

Dominique thought of letting everyone have their own book with their own collection of works from all artists. Some chose to have themes (like me) and some chose to allow us creative freedom. Please visit this new blog to see all the artists participating in this unique project HERE.
