It seems my woosh “broadband” is not fast enough for this. A set-top box (HD) is NZD 480 so is this freeview thing worth it? is now the time?

I am keen to see how these two look in the “viewer”. I completed the Green and then changed the hue. I think they might go well as a pair.
I was inspired to do these when I used a small 10×15 print of this one as a bookmark: Pattern (#0926 in Thousand Sketches)
Both digital images.
Later: Tuesday, 13 May, 2008 – added a few more.

I have completed my first painting in acrylics. There are pleny of
half finished or failed ones lying about but this one I’ll consider
done. It is the first of a series.
It is on gessoed canvas, unframed, the image is 600 x 600 mm
just under 24 inches square.
It has taken a while to get to this point. I have tried a few oils,
some and line & washes – but this one is the first result – that is
not digital.
Digital is clean & quick. Just how quick comes home when I need
to re-arrange the office into a studio. Paints, water, table floor
coverings, easle. Surfaces to prepare and techniques to try out.
And the waiting for things to dry. The cleaning up.
On Sunday (13 April) I was productive. I had about four Earth
Crosses in acrylic on the go. I also prepared some more canvas &
a board. Paintings come on and off the easel as I add something &
then wait for it to dry.
It is based on an earth cross from a few weeks back, see it here.
The photography is patchy but it gives the idea,

It is late, I am tired. I start on one more image before bed, and now there are three. More earth crosses. They satisfy me. They are a meditation. They a full of stories and moods, about the biggest things in life.
They truly are sketches as I am doing acrylic 600×600 earth crosses on canvas.
