Since this post is really just a huge content update, I’ll stick to content descriptions only. A New Song... this Time, a Collaboration: (C-001) 'SpaceBards - The Wyrmhole Tour' I'll admit, working with another musician’s material freaked me out a bit at first, but it was also a lot of fun. Sect-ion (Arto, a fellow musician on SoundCloud) provided the guitar elements. A huge thanks to him for putting this piece out there, and allowing a bizarre fellow like myself a chance to goof around with it. I hope I’ve done it justice.

All 4 of these paintings are acrylic on masonite, done in a Landscape Class I took at the University of Utah back in 2007. This is everything I'll be posting from my two art classes that semester because: (a) they are the only paintings I was happy with from the Landscape class (I struggle with acrylics), and (b) the other pieces are nudes from a Life Drawing class (I like the idea of my website being appropriate for all ages, and nudes can be iffy). :D This first painting was done from a third story window looking out on the University Campus. The instructor (a brilliant artist and dear friend) was teaching us pointillism techniques in the style of Georges Pierre Seurat (French Painter 1859-1891). It was really quite cool, and I wish I could remember it better. I'll have to ask him for a refresher some day. I hope you like: (009) ‘Out the Window’. The second painting was done in the same style on the lawns of the University Campus. Nothing is quite as intimidating for a fledgling artist as painting out in the open where anyone can stop and look over your shoulder. ;) I call this: (010) ‘On the Grounds’. The third was painted at City Cemetery overlooking the Salt Lake valley; just a basic acrylic done by a guy who forgets he sunburns easily. o.O I offer you: (011) ‘Bug in City Cemetery 01’. And the fourth was done in the same cemetery, but this time while wisely sitting in the shade during early morning sunlight.
I wrap up the set with: (012) ‘Bug in City Cemetery 02’. Much love to all of you. I hope you’re all enjoying the sights and smells of springtime. Take care for now.
