    Better idea... Gun cat needs hammock in Tahiti with Scully on shoulder and bowl of vanilla ice cream w/ Raspberry brandy drizzled on top. Followed by massage from Russell Crowe in a knight outfit of course...

    yeah, i use neon paint...and glow in the dark paint, which is invisible until it's around a tank.

    and yes, not only does she have a great voice...she is an awesome pianist.

    I guess a fishroom would be a great place to have one of your "glowing" pieces-to take advantage of the actinic lighting.

    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.

    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!
