Prolly difficult to see

The metallic sienna in centre circle. Has both just fuzz and "YNEOS" Which is hybrid yes/no

I thimk just cool off and lighten centre circle, steel wool some shinies, and mount

Or at least lay mat board on it and lookit it a while to decide

all those people, and seemingly none of them thunk "the beach is too crowded today, i might go do something else instead"

I don’t think you would survive here doff, there’s people on the beach @5AM.

Rossum is right, it’s a crowded place. Streets are crowded all day and towards dusk it’s a sea of people. Quite crowded.

at least one of my sons live here and drives Uber. Much easier to get around that way and we have seen some of the best hot spots on the cheap.

… still not cheap!

lots of pics but we’ve been having a lot of fun and MSW isn’t cutting me much slack either.

… and I’m a slacker!

I'm so glad you're having a great time!

Not today. But while days are short, I want to go photograph the sun setting over the bay

You might be standing on Australian sand. They developed too closely to shore, which affects tidal movements of sand. So we export desert sand to keep it pretty

I was about to say, "nice sunset, Dan" . . .. but then it popped back up!!

Anyway, it was nice; and I'm thinkin' . . . . we should get some of those for us here too. (sunsets, I mean)

K so here's #2
"Lost & Found", 11x20"
All ink this time (mixed everything from 5 bottles: red, yellow, blue, black, white).

This is an actual real world thing that I painted as accurately as I could (again from an "art" photo I'd snapped).

Can you guess what it is? .. . . is it obvious? (I think it's pretty easy to tell; but then I know what it is.)

2 pics because I can't decide whether black background is better, or hangin' on the wall.

I stand firmly behind my previous assessment! AMAZING!
Black......black.....definitely black.

I don't know what it is

But the second bg will gel with a space better. Black is nice on screen, but for 3 dimensional space the second

reminds me of james gleeson

aussie, was last surviving signed up member of surrealist movement, i think. Just passed recently

 

[pdib]

I don't know what it is

so, we have telephone poles here, made of tree trunks treated with, like, kreosote, or something.
you guys have those?
this was the place to post flyers, announcements, etc (before the modern era).
this, then, is one such, with decades of flyers stacked deep and mostly torn away (many staples)

Is there any particular reason why you mix from primaries?

 

[pdib]

nothing fancy, just, when I decided to try working with the inks, I wasn't about to run out and buy every color they had available.
So, I just bought what I thought were the 3 closest to true primaries, and set about to see what all colors I'd still need to buy eventually.
I started mixing to see, "can I make something that looks like their Teal? .... their VanDyke Brown?" .... Tangerine? . .. . etc.
Turned out I could mix pretty much anything I thought to try, so no need to buy other colors.
I'm guessing that they probably mix all their ink colors from the same 3 that I selected as a starter set.
