I'm ready to pack my bags and go to the Mojave Oasis RIGHT NOW - before "Winter Storm 2010, Number 1" comes rolling through the Pacific Northwest today! Nice work Dawn. Never seen you do people before - they're GREAT!

Ive been completely art stuck for the last month. I was on a pretty good roll, when too much left brain activity squashed it for me.
SO I put the watercolors away and got the studio set up for the acrylics and am going to work on this beach lair Istarted in Aug. Maybe by the time I finish I'll be re-motivated and inspired.
Im still in the middle of the Mojave Oasis project and I've got commissions to finish.

I'm totally excited about those this one will turn out. I like that mountain in the background - will you keep it a bit hazy? It has that mysterious feel to it.
Any progress on the siding or is the weather just too crappy to do it? I would go with the crappy weather excuse - works for me regarding the yard!

Yeah Dawn! I like the colors, the blur, the dreaminess. Makes me feel like I'm under the influence.

now that you two looked AND commented I feel more motivated.
the background has ben deliberatly hazed, I want the house and the foreground tiki to realy pop. Im also digging my first attempt at a black sand beach.
heh under the influence, yea story of my life....
Ive has a couple of days where I could have drug out the compressor and nail gun to do the siding, but I was doing a total shop overhaul, EVERY thing had to be moved and reorganized. endless hours of sorting nails ans scews, and catagorizing and stacking lumber, hanging lights over the work benches, building shelves. I hung mygiant game fish in there since the ceilings are 15 ft,. and of course I hAD TO MAKE A WELL DECORATED seating area complete with 6 band rattan furniture, fake tropical foliage, and some art. I like to have the option of sitting in the middle of the power tools and projects. its calming not unlike laying on the ground under your car. I find that to be one of the most peaceful places Ive ever been.

Love the black sand Dawn, this is gonna be ANOTHER masterpiece!
Laying under the car is not always relaxing, like if it slips off the jack and comes hurtling down towards you. I had always hoped that my dying words would be "Father, forgive me of my sins and recieve me into Your kingdom" instead of "OH SHIT!!!!". Fortunately the car still had the wheels on and it stopped a fraction of an inch above my face.
