THE BLACK SWAN EFFECT

Well maybe these assemblages don't fall into that category exactly, "the black swan effect", but one is a black swan. Moving along with these assemblages, the black swan is a little more complicated to assemble so he's taking a little longer.

nice shot of the bunnies after being painted

the black swan sitting on my kitchen table

a little change but I don't like how it looks so I will change their trees, please note the tails

another shot of my kitchen table and, oh yeah the black swan

PAINTING

Started painting my pieces, this is stage one. At this point I'm using spray paint to get larger areas of color. I find it easier to do it this way rather than painting each area separately.

painting the two rabbits and the two headed dog

step one complete going to paint more today

W-W-WWEATHER

Really, seriously.......yesterday I finally got all the snow cleared off the deck and the patio. Here's a shot from the weekend still a healthy amount of snow.

 

 

 

 

as you can see an easy foot again......geez.

 

NEWFOUNDLAND CHRONICLES 13 WEEKS

Well pup is thirteen weeks old she's learning down along with touch, sit, toy, come and of course the whole potty training thing, which she's pretty much got down. Thank goodness, the hard part has been getting her to go in a reliable place with the various amounts of snow in the yard since the landscape changes every week or so........from high to no glaciers.

 

this is her favorite pose, very close and at my feet still she does look pretty cute

 

so rare to have an instant to snap a picture at ground level she looks a little goofy here

 

 

TWO HEADED DOG

Working on this two headed dog for an upcoming show and hope to be finished this weekend. Painting comes next with a few additives after that I don't want painted.

the beginning bare bones

more stuff added

DOG PSYCHOLOGY

Well face it a dog is a dog is a dog, not a God although some are treated like that, not a person although they sometimes act like it. This is my subject today about my dog Hanni.

Note the toy on the floor with the purple ball and bone. Dogs aren't people but sometimes they sure act like kids. Our new puppy

is a chew machine, I mean a finely tuned machine......so I bought her a toy

and my dog Hanni decided he liked it

and kept stealing it. So I gave in to petty dog jealousies and bought him his own. Which of course hasn't solved the problem except it's sorta easier to find at least one of them when the machine is on full chew mode.........maybe mine think they are Gods since the second bone appeared as if by magic.

MOST RECENT WORK

Here's my most recent work just finishing up two things and getting ready to start another and finish an assemblage. Well lets see in between being sick and house training a puppy I have managed to get a couple of things done.

 

A WEATHER EVENT

I was disappointed when I went to Denver and saw how little snow they had as compared to how much we got from the last "weather event" when I was under the impression that Denver was gonna get dumped on, well they did break a record. Here are some shots from my back yard the puppy is an almost 10 week old almost 30 lb puppy (just to give scale, well and  fairly high cute factor too).

RABBITS AND HANSEL AND GRETAL

When I was working on these rabbits, I decided that my version of Hansel and Gretel will also have rabbits in it too, I'm sorta into the rabbits this week.

I took a video of my puppy and her first puppy play date and totally messed it up so that will post after her next play date.......geez!
