I did it again. Instead of working on the three web sites I should be working on, I’m goofing off. Seriously, this has to stop. I’m on a canvas moratorium for the foreseeable future. Really.
Nick the Racecar Driver. He’s not three yet, but I thought 2.6 would look weird.
This was another test, this one with a coat of black paint on the canvas that I let dry for about 24 hours before painting over it. I was originally going to sand it after it dried to give it a neat color/texture. I still might, but only in the background. I like the way the red didn’t quite cover the black (though the blue did – I SHOULD have known that. Damn color theory.) The only bummer is that it really doesn’t “go” with the other one I did because the colors are so much more muted. The boy likes them, though. He keeps asking when we are going to hang his paintings.
Maybe we should do an opening. LG loves to serve hors’devours – he’s always bringing me “cheese” (refrigerator magnets) on “crackers” (potholders).
(Sorry about butchering the spelling of the small snack foods served before meals – apparently WordPress doesn’t know how to spell it either.)

Canvas Now, Huh? Hopefully you don’t get the RC model airplane bug, too! This is building season (winter), doncha know? Of course I’m still trying to fly some before work – about 0630 AM. Yesterday I forgot my transmitter… Today I had everything but my batteries didn’t have enough zoup to get off the ground. Turns out, they don’t like being left in the cold auto overnight, apparently…. Now I need to find a way to keep them warm while I’m in the cold…
Love, Dad
Painting looks like so much more fun then actual grading.
Went to your flicker site and saw the pic of the two of us… Loved it.
Holiday greetings to you and your family.
