Working on Some Guy - Day 2

Second day working on "Some Guy" the painting on the right being "Some Guy in the 70's" and the one on the left being "Some Guy at the Guggenheim". Lots of fun, both of them. Coffee consumed, sun up, time to get ready for The Day Job.

Working On Some Guy - Day 1

Day 1 working on a commission that could be called "Some Guy in the 70's". Working from a photo scanned into the computer, the image is drawn on the canvas with a rusty-colored conté crayon. Lots of coffee required when working prior to 5am.

There Is Nothing So Fulfilling

There is nothing so fulfilling

As having expressed oneself well.

In my Mind

Here in the woods of the northeast U.S., people live in a perpetual waiting mode. I lack their yankee talent for waiting and as always, am having difficulty with the winter as it leaches into spring. The woods around me will be barren well into May, six months or more each year. The deer do further damage by leaving a perpetually denuded understory. Frustrated at the lack of verdure, I dream of Oahu, Hanauma Bay, the trail above it. I hold the image of it in my mind, a calm focal point leading me through the despair.

This painting is 3 feet by 4 feet, acrylic on canvas.

These Shapes

Events are current

as in water,

flowing and turbulent.

Times moves not in a line

but as a flock of starlings

preparing for migration,

wheeling, turning,

expanding, contracting.

We are flotsam,

bits of life

tiny birds

moving in unison,

in our better moments.

Sunset Behind Kaena Point

As I remember it, the sun setting behind Kaena Point, Oahu, Hawaii in February, trade winds blowing and blowing and blowing. - Nancy Boudreau
