Last Hawaii post

Tomorrow I head back to the mainland, and to tell you the truth, even know I had a nice relaxing time and good visits with my friends, i am looking forward to getting back home [but not back to work]. This morning I had a watercolor art lesson from a local artist.

This picture doesn't do it justice as i took it with my phone, and it is not finished yet. However I did learn stuff about using water colors as well as the color paletes, which I am not that good at. We'll see how it turns out, but I think I am going to try another one too...see if I can improve on my serious art!

Another work done and others a work in progress

Another creature from my imagination, but this time on a smaller scale. It was a smaller cabinet door!
These are works in progress, more cabinet doors - panorama's of a sort

This is a design from what is called the 'arts and crafts' era - mission furniture, frank lloyld wright, etc. I saw the pattern on the web, copied it with some of my own twists and will put two brackets from World Market on it to make it a coat or really a hat rack.

pix later when they are done....

art for sale...

experiments in photoshop...soon to work on Illustrator, which believe me, is not an intuitive application. I like Freehand better, but that company was bought by Adobe, and they ceased to release improvements, esp to take advantage of MACs dual and quad intel chips in the the new computers. I don't understand why companies gravitate to the difficult and the simplistic?

Serious Art..again

Ok, once again trying my hand at serious art and expressing my soul...along with trying to find my style, instead of being heavily influenced by the artist I happen to be looking at...

I prob should have taken more time to work on this, a criticism I have had before. I just can't seem to continue to work on a piece and make it better, i just finish it and move on. LOL.

what do you all think....crap, good or work on it ?
