Live Painting III

Here is my third live painting.

What is interesting about this instance is that the girl painted here didn't appear until the end of the painting. I had painted the girl very quickly at home (it's not very clean) and then applied a new medium I've discovered that allows you to essentially erase paint. So, I painted the entire piece in one color so the figure couldn't be seen underneath. Then I let it dry and packed it up in my car for the show.

At the show, I proceeded to paint the background in several layers. I was even allowed to spray paint a bit. And then half way through, I began to expose the painting underneath. People were pretty amazed at my "performance" and kept questioning me about what I described as a "magic trick". Only one person knew what I had done. :)

Anyway, I think I will reclaim this idea. That is of the girl as a guitar.

I turn on my car to find two lights on the dash. On the right, the check engine light and on the left, the empty gas tank light. As I roll over the bumps in my apartment complex, the gas light dims and disappears for a few seconds. It lets me know that there's still a bit sloshing around in there. I open my g-mail to find an e-mail from my ex. The air around me began to fizzle and my heart paused as I read. It lets me know that there's still a bit sloshing around in there. <|3

I love pomegranates

What better way to start the day than with tasty pomegranate seeds. I love these things. Full of juice and such vibrant color. I don't know whether to paint them or eat (maybe I'll do both). Plopped a few of these in the "magic bullet" and blended them up. The only problem is the hard seeds inside, hard to drink it with a zillion hard bits in it. Here's a true story, when I first got a pomegranate I had no idea how to eat it. So, I said "hey, it's a fruit, so I'll just treat it like any fruit I know." Which means I took a big bite of the pomegranate. No fun. No fun at all.
