random observations, thoughts on life, humorous stories....from the studio while I paint.

I guess a fishroom would be a great place to have one of your "glowing" pieces-to take advantage of the actinic lighting.Posted 03/08/2010 at 11:32 PM by alphaferret -

physical, schmisical. you'll be fine.
i like peeps to be able to touch the paintings...so that's what i came up with to protect them.Posted 03/08/2010 at 07:22 PM by superkat -
Welcome
after i had my open heart...my career in aerospace ended. It was very, very hard for me..because i loved my job so much. so i tapped into all the things i had ever wanted to do in my life and made them a career...do what you love, love what you do.Posted 03/08/2010 at 07:20 PM by superkat -

I was just at the drs the other day and he wants me in for a physical-hmmm? Luckily he didn't say right away-that would not be good.Posted 03/08/2010 at 06:53 PM by alphaferret -

that's awesome. touching...yeah...lots and lots and lots and lots of polyurethene....especially on the reefs.Posted 03/08/2010 at 12:48 PM by superkat -

very cool media-my father did a painting w/ a cigar as the brush. it hangs in my office. I used to do alot of 3-d art but found that people love to touch it and eventually the piece would get damaged.Posted 03/08/2010 at 12:29 PM by alphaferret -

hey there...good choices in music, for sure! um...sleep...yeah...i don't need it...i guess. i have ambien, but when i take it, i sometimes don't remember what i've done because i can blow through it...mostly...i just clean...sometimes rearrange furniture...we keep a lot of ice packs handy...lmao.
i use both acrylic and oil. i love acrylic because the clean up is awesome...and i mix all sorts of stuff in the paint. when i do my reefs (which i'll be painting/sculpting one at the classroom swap---yipee!), i mix in sand from the beach, or ashes from our fireplace. real flowers, twigs, bark..whatever gives me some good texture. i just started doing the sky without a brush...i smudge the paints in layer by layer with either my fingers or a cotton ball. mostly...i listen to really deep music, or classical music (love chopin and rachmoninoff) while i paint...and time flies by...it really is sometimes better painting than sleeping.
oh no...your a COD player? someone was teaching me that once...almost pulled the trigger on a PS3...i used to be a big gamer when Nintendo was around...not so much now...lol.
thanks for stopping by!Posted 03/08/2010 at 01:55 AM by superkat -
