A quick check of email after getting some Real (Paying)(Web) work done (and before scurrying off to BTV to be support at a MIL's meeting with a lawyer) reveals some unsuspected and heartening art feedback:
OK, gotta run, just wanted to share.
a delightful talent you have. do nurture and love it. From a developing perspective, we all love colour, especially children, so rich reds, blues and greens, violets come singing to mind. Also contrast is very important, giving substance and depth to the work. This is where tonal range comes in and is very important in giving conviction and belief to the image. Not that your work does not have these elements mentioned but I just sense from an expanding talent point of view they need to be full exploited. Thank you for sharing your delightful art.This is from John Graham Inkson, who has recently posted some intense bird paintings over on ArtWanted.

There is an interesting series of comments on two of ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
ozarque's posts "Linguistics; verbal self-defense; kids... " and "Linguistics; verbal self-defense; kids; part two (final)..."
For those of you involved with kids at all, I recommend a read-through. Long, thought-provoking. It's not a cohesive "Here's what works/doesn't" (as some handouts from various programs might be), but conversational and somewhat rambly. Very approachable, fascinating.

If they weren't so long, I'd print them for my son's daycare (as FYI; I haven't seen anything that concerns me, and I tend to hang out a bit at both drop-off and pick-up), so now I'm off to see if I can track down their email).
(Now if only my son can survive me. He's got a scar that's my fault, and yesterday nearly got a concussion that is indirectly my fault also. Sigh...)

Another batch of images to Fantastic Portfolios, and 5 of 5 rejected...
I should work larger, because since I've been doing such smaller (and portable) things -- ACEOs, 4x4, that kind of thing, when they get scanned, although I don't have to stitch scans, I also get to show off (enlarge) any issues (inexperience, errors, overcautious use...) with media handling or whathaveyou.
I'm not excited about a lot of the actual images up there, but I can see -- and not quite reach, dammit!! -- the skill.

What I've learned in this round of work:
I like watercolors better than colored pencils.I should work larger, because since I've been doing such smaller (and portable) things -- ACEOs, 4x4, that kind of thing, when they get scanned, although I don't have to stitch scans, I also get to show off (enlarge) any issues (inexperience, errors, overcautious use...) with media handling or whathaveyou.
Really good advice I got:
work a little more slowly and carefully, with better attention to detail. Push your values; try incorporating darker darks and lighter lights. Really study pictures of trees and grass and such when painting the flora; the human brain cannot image all the nuances of nature all on its own. The base colors seem to be spot on, but I want to smile when I see the larger image, instead of distracted by the unadventurous paint handling.and
What is really lacking in my opinion is contrast and dynamic color. If you take these pieces and make them grayscale you will see very little color range. What you SHOULD see is the greatest contrast in your focal point. ... But please, concentrate on working up your dynamic shading and contrast!

So I got this item in the mail -- it was paper spam, you know, marketing.
Only it was paper with a nice feel and had Cthulu or a near-cousin on the cover.

Clover WIP 2: I know y'all said light, keep it light. I have made no changes on the original yet; these are just some test runs (photoshop to print several on one sheet on Avery watercolor texture photopaper). Click it to see it a tad larger, and again when you get there to see it usefully larger.
I was pleased with the orange one, until my friend suggested I had better not have orange if I wanted this 4-leaf clover dragon be at all a St. Patrick's Day illustration. So I added the Guinness and gave up that idea. (OK, so there's a certain ironic humor, and I'm not above that, but still.)
The blue was just too weak. Even in dark blue I'm not sure I'd like it. Not for this anyway (I'm very fond of dark blue. With sparkles. ... hmmm ...) And there's not enough room for a flag on the card anyway. (I forgot to mention this is an ACEO ATC, or will be when I'm done.)
The one on the right used to be pink. Right out. But a stout-colored layer over pink -- that has potential! Now if I only knew jack all about shading using paints, I might be getting somewhere.
Help WELCOME!

p.s. Thanks, lepi!
Here's something I told lepiI would do: put the black and white dragon gardener On Stuff. (I still want to color it... I still haven't' colored it ... it's quite definitely spring... )

A Dragon's Picnic: I've been working on a illo to submit to BookCrossing. I just don't work large enough. This was a ... challenge to get the scan even close to the original colors. Something about a heavily green image when the scanner (like many scanners) is not delighted by blues.
This one is a crop of the orginial -- these proportions works well enough, I suppose.
Watercolor underpainting (mostly Winsor&Newton), colored pencils (mostly Prismacolor), Staedler black ink, on 60 lb sketch paper (augh! What was I thinking?).
I so totally should've used that new projector to transfer this darn image to a heavy paper.
Still, I learned something about paints again, and about clouds. Not enough about the pencils.
I'm pretty happy about the dragon colors in the original (more rose and gold).
I think I desperately need to take me and paints OUTSIDE to work on shadows. I like this well enough but there's too flippin' much I don't know.

From ruthling's suggestion about the Compact Flourescent/Incandescent comparison paper (it's a PDF listed at the link), I wound up thinking about Wal-mart and Phillips, which reminded me I am reading (slowly) The Ecology of Commerce, so of course I googled it, and found more about Paul Hawken on wikipedia as well as a useful summary and application of the book at a Masonry heater trade journal site, and then the organization Wiser Earth, which
OK, good stuff to go to bed on. Why am I up so late again? Sheesh.
I should've been taking my bath and sleeping, or at least working on books and taxes.
But now, now I'm poking around my utilities site, seeing how maybe I can pay them less money...
Oh look, here's what I should've done when I broke the two CFLs I broke (in the decade-plus of using them, I've broken two, one was still in the package). Hm. Me and Monkeyboy are probably doomed now. Or not, given the limited exposure and that I did some of the clean up correctly and we show none of the symptoms associated. But you knew that.
Going to bed dammit! Sheesh!

Luna Fae: I did a series of three illustrations for a faerie tale (we'll do more if we get an interested publisher). This is a segment of one on the illustrations.
It's fairly zoomed in. I really like the colors here, although even since I did this (last summer), I can see how I've improved. Not much (but then, I haven't' been able to practice as much as I want), but some. Interesting to see what I'd do differently here next time.

Tried intalling some extension jambs this morning into our office/library casement window. Perhaps because ours have been sitting around for Far Too Long™, I couldn't (by myself) get the top one in. It's a bit bowed and I'm having trouble. Hopefully R and I together can finish it when he comes home ... but that would require not reassembling the office library from it's current interestingly disheveled state. And I want to finish cleaning it up. Hm.
I think I was inspired by Bruno the Carpenter -- MonkeyBoy and I read it at daycare the other day...
I did kinda go crazy in here. I put together an old oak table that (without the leaves) is 4' x 4' -- which is really darn large for a space only 8' (maybe) wide. Except it would just look wrong in the corner, and finally I have a surface deep enough to be a useful (and beautiful! Though old) desk. (Plus I have a sentimental attachment to it, mostly 'cause I like it better than any other desk or table in the house). Now if I can just figure out where to put the telescope, and swap the metal (skinny) table for the (silly prefab) computer desk, and put the table in the big basement (and more not-useful-right-now computer and telephony equipment on it in case we every really finish the hardwire networking), and get the old blond veneer bookshelves from the other basement (not so sentimental, despite having been were my grandmother's), then I could put these other papers and crates and boxes away, or sort of...
In other news, thank youturbocat for a serendipitous and delightful evening yesterday! I did wind up going to Best Buy, where I successfully resisted replacing my 2004 Dell Inspiron 1100 (reliable, slowing down, 20GB drive with perhaps 2 GB left open, a bunch of apps I don't know whether I could delete and more stuff that just is bigger than the comp was meant for) with money I don't have anyway. It was hard, though. Good thing they didn't have an opened/returned/floor model available. And REALLY good they didn't have such with Creative Suite any-version on it (I have CS1, and it just makes me wonder with the software I want to use costs more than the hardware to run it on).
I digress (from what?). Back to work!
