Oy!!!
I have to change the car's angle. Back to the drawing board. The vehicle image is history.
It didn't quite match the street scene background I drew.
(It's for an animation-- my fault, not the director's fault.)
Easier to change the car than background-- which is pretty detailed.
Oh well, patience and humility is learned... Ha

First comes the digital painting

Tomorrow I paint on my watercolor paper print-out with acrylics--
Wish me luck...

The New Collosus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she

With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Emma Lazarus

Too Close to Home

2/15/2018

About a year ago, my 6 year old grandson told me, “ When I get bigger I’m going to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. It’s good school, Papa.” (He lives about a half mile away.)

How horrible to hear about the shooting and how nightmarish to continue hearing about how “now is not the time to talk about gun control.”

Gov. Scott, Senator Rubio, Donald Trump and all the other disingenuous politicians keep shedding crocodile tears. They're in the pocket of the NRA and are worthless.

Don’t forget when it is time to vote.

Hard at Work

It's been a while since my last post.
I've been working on paintings for The Tattooed Torah animation. A dozen done and dozens and dozens and dozens more to go.
Much satisfaction from painting.
Below you'll find the storyboard direction and the final image.
Hope you like it.

Thanksgiving Fun!
