Morro Bay
Recently, I went on an overnight trip to Los Ossos State Park and caught this scene. That is The Rock in the distance. I did not bother to paint anything human made except the scars on the land.
Transcended Master
A rather pompous title, huh? I amuse myself that way sometimes. This painting is a tattoo. There is a before and after forever after in my style, and it has a timestamp right here, right now, with this painting. In the old days, a “Master Piece” was your submission to the guild to show you … Continue reading “Transcended Master”
The Invoker
Not even a half mile from Camp Lockett on the PCT, I plonked down in the shade on the left side of the trail where there was a good rock to sit on while I messed with my waistbelt’s pack buckle that insisted on riding down my butt under the big pack, most annoyingly; it … Continue reading “The Invoker”
Bika, A Tibetan Terrier
Beloved companion of my beloved cousin. He paid a vet bill for me; I made for him this portrait. Gone now from this world, and missed, oh, a cheerful soul.
Pacific Crest Trail, Camp Lockett, View East
I am re-upping this piece because I reworked it a bit, sharpening the wall and adding some foreground details. Also, I never told the story of how I came to be standing there, and where was that? When? So, here you go. I was a bit faint when I stood here that Saturday on the … Continue reading “Pacific Crest Trail, Camp Lockett, View East”
Purpose
I went out on that trail with the tablet I did this art on with the intent of going on that trail and doing art on the very same tablet. That counts as victory. I did this art on the trail. I did it on my new tablet. Boom. Back at Camp Lockett recuperating from … Continue reading “Purpose”
Off The PCT
As I said on the post when I tried to turn comments back on but did not, er, sorry, I could not get enough oxygen under exertion again on this second essay of the Pacific Crest Trail. Extreme exertion, to be sure, but for this old frame, extreme exertion occurs at three thousand feet, in … Continue reading “Off The PCT”
Comment Testing
OK. Now they are working. A quirk of WordPress is, evidently, when you start writing a post, that post has a hard-coded date stamp that has nothing to do with your settings. So the post where I announce that I’ve turned comments back on, does not allow comments because I changed that setting after I … Continue reading “Comment Testing”
Comments Back On, Anyone Can Post
Which means all sorts of Russian domain names will show up in comments as grifters try to get in their repulsive links to scams and rip-offs. That was why I turned them off. We put this time and effort into good, clean posts, and along come these guys who splatter diarrhea all over everything. I … Continue reading “Comments Back On, Anyone Can Post”
Contact
It does not look like I will have my contact form sorted out before I hit the trail. I am simply too busy with life to sit at a computer and debug stuff. I will look into seeing if I can get an admin to help me. I do not even know how to login … Continue reading “Contact”
