Images

I am quietly making images, persisting. I find it hard to post them as they seem not to be part of a project. They are floaters, play things and they don’t fully grab me. But this blog is not my gallery, not an exhibition, more like a studio. I want to play, learn experiment. Images follow.

Brilliant Bloggers! Some fine images.

Thank you Jan for putting me on your Brilliante Weblog list. Much appreciated. What I like about it is firstly that it gets me to look at the others you nominated! Some brilliant people indeed, honoured to be on the same list. Secondly it motivates me to evaluate some blogs I like, have another look, revise my Blogroll.

 

The rules of accepting are as follows:
1) Put the logo on your blog
2) Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4) Add links to those blogs on yours.
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.

So here are mine…

Two from Jared Shear who is a prolific and talented painter. His one-a-day paintings of Cougar Peak for a whole year, blogged on Cougar peak-a-Boo are an incredible testament to the environment.

His more general Blog Terra Peer is worth a good look.

Next is Janey’s Journey because she can do super simple sketches with fantastic flair. I am always inspired.

PrashArt is a master of line & wash. Open this full size image for example.
Simplicity and serenity.

I have been watching Helen Nehill‘s creative stuff on flickr – sort of a blogger, and a creator of Zines.

Elizabeth Love, New Zealand Colour, texture and composition. And a friend of the Agantighe.

Seventh: Lisa Rivas, Flying Colours. I am mentioning Lisa even though she already has the BW award. She is a great blogger, and does digital work – there is the connection.

I am following on with images from the blogs all of the blogs mentioned. Click on the images to go to their blogs. I hope that is ok by the bloggers, let me know if not & I will remove.

Gallery Update

I have tweaked the Gallery considerably. It now has my current draft Bio and My Art statement. (comments on that welcome as I am about to use those more in various places!)

I am working on adding links from the images ion the gallery to their original appearance in a blog post. It is in the blog post that there is more info about the context and where there may be discussion about the image.

I use a flash plugin: SimpleViewer. Great for ease of use. I think I may need to get the pro version… anyone familiar with that? I’ve manually entered what I want in the first three images in the Flax page in the Gallery.
