Looking back on my recent journal entries, they seem to consist mainly of pictures. Well, right now you're going to get another picture of a painting, since otherwise, I'm going to start ranting about how annoying confusing legalese is and how I've finally decided that I'm going to vote against every single incumbent politician in every single election for the rest of my life, since they're all clearly interchangeable little automatons or pod people or something.

So here's a painting I did in watered down acrylics, of my favorite amberine glass goblet and a pocket knife. I wanted to play with lighting, so naturally, I picked the hardest thing in my house. But, the more I look at it, the more I like it.

Here's a painting I did last night. I poked through a book of photos of Ireland until I found a promising one. I wanted to use a limited palette, so I used phthalo blue, phthalo green, burnt umber and white (since those are seriously the only colors in Ireland. That and whatever colors farmers spray paint their sheep.) I actually didn't end up using hardly any of the green (and added a few drops of yellow to that) The only place I used it was in a few spots on the rock and at the base of the beacon. The sea at lower right looks like a churning pot of poo, but it could be worse, and I like the rest of it.

So here you go: Baltimore Beacon, acrylic on paper plate.
