playing with water

so. it is late. i played a bit with water tonight. this looks encouraging. i was playing with pigments that "enhance"color separation. won't show them all here. getting the turkey tomorrow! yay for the Holidays. Thank God for the rain...

nicholas simmons

this painting "fresh sushi" was painted by the artist nicholas simmons. (i have reproduced this here without his permission). it won a major prize this year at the NWS. it is one of the most exciting pieces of art i have ever seen.
let me say this about nicholas. not only is he a brilliant artist - but he gives of himself to help and encourage other artists.
the fact that he likes my work literally blows me away! thanks nicholas!
