Its offshore but flat today, which is good cos i had a balmy bbq, music & lotsa beer eve yesterday.
The art component is a review of doing a coupla murals for my sons kinder.
Ive just finished them, 99.9% anyway, though I still have to put them up. Used exterior house paint on cement sheeting.
Mez helped with the dinosaur theme piece. Sometimes I was just embellishing the shapes he created. It wouldn't have occurred to me to have a giant wave hitting his T-Rex on the nose.
We were painting and I left him in the studio for five mins while on the blower, only to come back to 'lava' sprayed/spewed/dripping all over the land.
The piece was turning abstract expressionist which looked great, however I made the decision to restrict the lava to a trickle with some fast rubbing/wiping off of the rampant red.
The dinosaurs and landscape are derived from a child's view, so its devoid of scientific credibility, and this only made the pleasure of painting increase.
The scene is looking east of Warrnambool and the river is the Hopkins.
I also did a second similar size mural in a Faery theme.
Wow, the rant component of my last post, it appears, has generated a response. Cheers, Pat. Um, I suppose I now respond with a comment to the comment on the subjects raised, in a comment box, so its there.
I've just deleted another long rant and decided not to, except that from now on my blog is about surfing and art and any political, sexual or religious views are in the context of art and surfing.
