Reactivated

So I've been gone awhile. For those who have been wondering what I've been doing: painting, writing, painting, working, painting, traveling...the usual. Just not posting or keeping this up. But painting up a storm, which has been the important bit. Give me a few days to shoot some pics of the new work and update my online galleries.

Female praying mantis on my front porch today. Note to all other stick insects nearby: sexual cannibalism anyone?

A picture I like and a word about procrastinating

I do alot of procrastinating before I begin...trying to get my mind around what it is I want to do. The toughest part is starting, second only to stopping.

Slow down. Step away from that electronic device.

The physical world still matters. But if I step away from the electronic device, let's say my iPhone and this computer, and take a break from the less physical worlds--you know to slow down or do something quaint like that: Would it still be okay if I use my camera? Can I still take pictures in a slowed down, touchy feel-ly, unprogressive life break??? Because if not, I don't want to slow down. My camera is not so electronic really; it's an extension of my eye that canon lens. My sketchbook: now that's really low-tech. I think I get brownie points for that, don't I?

Here's a quick sketch of Philip. Hear no evil (that would the parental voices in his young head).
