one for the road





11"x14" oil


Today went well. I have made progress towards the weekend show. I managed to squeak out a finale of the snow scenes. Had paint already mixed. Used it. I changed cds. I put in Michael Hedges' Oracle and took out Vivaldi. Not my favourite Hedges cd but can't find my fave at the moment. Michael Hedges was an incredible guitarist who drove off a cliff several years(maybe 10) ago to his peril on the California coastline. I saw him perform one week previous to his unfortunate demise. He wore a copper helmet and did some form of meditation throughout the show. I'm sorry, but that guy was interesting!

I changed this one a bit today. The post was yesterday. Big storm predicted for this weekend. Heavy snow and high winds on the coast. Guess where the show is? Jersey near the coast. Could be interesting.....We picked up a nifty little 4 inches this morning, they predicted a dusting for here. Maybe it's time I paint sunshine...

Nice cold feel.

I didn't know any of that about Michael Hedges! I had a CD of his at one time and really liked it. (It got stolen, along with a bunch of others...back when CDs were worth something and people bothered stealing them.)

Thanks,Jala. Yeah, I'm still old school...playing cds. Hedges was one of those artists that if you wanted info you had to look it up.At least around here.I was lucky to have seen him perform live. Off to Jersey............

Hi,
I stumbled upon your blog. I dig it. I think you are doing the right thing!!

As far as being old school, I just got a portable record player that runs on batteries, and my car plays tapes.

hey kyle, that is old school. A battery powered record player! Good luck with the tapes. I've added your blog to my links, I like where you're going. I'm stuck in a blizzard enjoying free wifi. The question is "why am I here!" We shall see.......
