As I fill in the background things start to come a live and I transport myself to an Italian piazza at dusk. I really try to put myself into my works and hope the moment, the sounds the, the smells, the feeling comes alive for the viewer as well.

on the drawing board: that's amoré
Here is the state of things from a couple days ago. I got a lot of work done yesterday and will post another update soon.
After the layout in pencil on white paper I transfer the outline in white pastel pencil onto a suitable colored pastel paper. From then on its pastel chalks and pencils and fingers. I also keep a few erasers handy to clean up edges and of course to fix mis-steps along the way.

CA Keeps Existing Same-Sex Marriages, Will Civilization Crumble?
When the California Supreme court ruled on Tuesday to uphold Propostion 8 banning same-sex marriages, they also ruled that the 18,000 gay and lesbian unions that took place while it was legal will remain valid.
So apparently these same-sex marriages have been deemed harmless to the State and the institution of marriage, prevent no threat to opposite sex marriages and will not bring about the collapse of Chrisianity and all of civilization.
By keeping valid these existing marriages, the court has clearly illustrated that Prop 8 is purely an act of sexual discrimination. Perhaps this will actually be fuel for overturning this heinous ammendment.
on the drawing board: dancing duo
Spending so much time lately on framing for my show, getting ready for Creative Block and working on a commission (that I had to keep under wraps), it seems like forever since I've posted in progress pics of what I am working on. I'm looking forward to escaping into this one. I guess my paintings are my way of leaving the real world behind and taking a little journey.
