I wanted to get back into the swing of painting again after all the weeks of packing and moving and unpacking, so I started with just a fun abstract. Here it is framed and matted:
It’s also available on fun stuff in my gift shop – click on any of the images below to see all the products:
It’s always fun to play with color!
I’ve got a few new photographs to share. First, a dragonfly that just loved hanging out on the end of this flagpole. In fact, he would chase smaller bugs away and then come back and rest again – guess he was comfy there.
And the second photo is just a simple picture of a local river here called Rondout Creek, which is a tributary of the Hudson River:

(Warning – a number of obvious and overdone bungee jokes litter this post! Apologies – I couldn’t stop myself.)
Don’t you just love bungee cords? And bungee cords like to express their love for you as well, if you let them!
Click on the image above for a print of this photo – available framed or unframed… a modern and masculine image of a love that will really hold things together in your life. *evil grin*
Of course, it’s no where near St. Valentine’s Day, but love springs eternal, especially when there is so much elastic involved. What the heck does that mean? It means you can buy the bungee heart on things like t-shirts, sweatshirts, greeting cards, and SIGG water bottles, etc. – just click any of the links below to bungee jump to all the cool stuff:
Go on, click an image – you’ll be hooked! (again – sorry)
Instead of short, grey, ground squirrels like we had in California, the trees in our yard here seem to be the domain of smaller red squirrels! They’re almost the same color as our dog – hope we don’t get them confused – HAH!
And here’s a little collage of snapshots – the one in the nook of the tree might be a juvenile – it’s a bit greyer than the other one and seemed smaller.
Of course, these might be sports model red squirrels, since they come with that cool dark stripe down the side!
I found a post on the Imagekind blog about how to make those cool ‘little planet’ photo manipulations, also called polar panorama effects, and so I had to try it out. I chose a photo I’d created a number of years ago, during a dry, hot, California summer:
Then, I trimmed it down to more of a panorama proportion, then followed the instructions to make it into it’s own ‘little planet’ and came out with this:
It came out pretty cool, I think! 🙂 I’ll have to see what other photos I have that I can use this technique on. (As usual, click the image to get a framed or unframed fine art print of the Gold World Tree image.)
