Project Fantasy

This is a very personal Artistic statement. Two cars that are pictured in this work. A 1948 Cadillac I've been working on for over 30 years and a 1933 Chevy around 10 years. These are restoration projects I've enjoyed working on when I have had the time etc. They will probably never get finished because of time and money. At 70 my skills and abilities are not what they use to be. Also a retirement income limits the amount of work I can do at one time. So the hopes of finishing these projects and driving them get less each day. However I really enjoy working on them, so the joy is found in the work not the product. It is my feeling that this Photoshop work depicts the above statement.

Still Life

I've been doing a lot of computer generated art in the last several years. So I decided to include some in my art blog. These examples are Still Lives in Glass, Stone and Aluminum. Still Life is a very traditional style of art and I thought it would be fun to try it in this medium.

San Maguel de Allende courtyard

This courtyard was in the town on the high plateau. It has great architecture and at the time I was there was a true Mexican village. A splendid place with splendid people. Their celebration of Easter was amazing.

The Land, the Water, the Air, where they all meet is the stuff of Life.
