a bit of nauti cal ness

for those of you that think eurovison is tacky & kitch ... well it is ... but if that upsets you look away now



i know this didn't score well but the nauticalness appeals to me

Being busy is no excuse

I got mysef a great CD , Little Eve by Kate_Miller-Heidke... and I'm chalking up some serious Ipod hours with it ... the tune "Don't Let Go" is a bit of anthem for little moi at the moment

"First of all I apologise for this long period of silence.
Being busy is no excuse to pull away and lose touch with my friends."

2 minute (& a bit) torso

i was waiting for a big weather event ...yes a true cyclone ...thought it would be a great opportunity to paint ... and it was ...but my inexperience with acrylics is clear so i did need to "finish" off with pastels


The music is In my garage by EST

Honesty about art and nudity

I do get a bit sad at how the USA-based self absorption about the moral high ground (which they certainly don't occupy) dominance in the politically correct self appointed web 2.0 police tend to categories my humble efforts as UNSAFE on Flickr, pornographic or even worse being called tasteless ...but heck I see beauty in nudity and something to be celebrated, no appologise there ...(just look away if you are easily offended) ...so I was pleased to see this BBC report.

back to the 2 minute torso

No better way to get the creative juices flowing again than to tackle a 2 minute torso and a good coffee (at the same time) ...happiness!

Has it been that long?

Sorry it has been so long since I posted ...

... but its hard to post when i haven't had a pencil or brush in my hand. Must be time to fix that

still flickr'ing

perhaps i am admin for too many groups ;)
