BAMBOO WINDOW

Aloha from Pahoa, Hawaii
It is another magnificent day here in paradise. The ground is wet from the night rain and the sky is blue, morning light filtering through the topical jungle surrounding my studio/home. The pure magic of this island inspires a great deal of m art. Every day I see something else that brings me to my Wacom Tablet where I set my inspiration to the computer screen. I am truly in love with digital format. It allows the artist to fly in such before unknown areas of application. I am very comfortable with my techniques. Having been primarily a water color artist in my past life, I choose to work with tints rather then the opaque. Therein I find the ability to add a sense of depth to otherwise two dimensional art. Some might say that the computer generated image is cheating, with the use of sophisticated software. I disagree and see these as brushes now there to use for creation. Every age defines new avenues to walk down. We are here in a world where communications flies through space landing at precise locations with the push at the send button. Here in the digital format I can now push the envelope and share it with the rest of the world instantaneously. What a wonderful place to be. Enjoy your day. Create and share as you know. Give, and love. Look forward to hearing from anyone.

I really like your first image -- it's new, isn't it? Much better blog page. I would love to have you talk about your varied experiences which led up to your present state as an artist -- Vidal, Maui, travels, etc.
Good job.

Well, finally a user friendly blog page to which I can respond. This is much better than your first blog. It's you . . . a little dramatic, I must say, but then, when are you not? I really like the first image -- it's new isn't it? I think you have such a varied profile, you should start to talk about your background leading up to art; i.e., your gig as a hair stylist and how you got to sasson. Although not exactly art, it is a peek into your impetuous personality. Good job.
