Atlantis

One of the enduring myths is Atlantis. This is my vision of the mythical city. I have a lot of pictures in my head currently that are begging to get out. I found a bunch of Bryce tutorials on the web and I definitely want to try some of them in my art. Again I'm amazed at how the creative juices have been running since I changed jobs.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

For a change it isn't snowing and freezing here. The inspiration for the picture comes from the fact that Chicago dyes the river green each year for their big St. Patrick's Day Parade. I don't think the leprechaun's companions are as amused as he is. The picture is called "Leprechaun Humor."

I have lately been rereading Andrew Greeley's Nuala Anne books. I enjoy his books not only because they are well written but he also brings a definite connection to my Irish heritage. You learn a great deal about the Irish both past and present from his books.

Lot's of Art Coming Up

It is taking forever for the Star Wars III trailer to download but I'm determined to see it tonight. Right that would be me and a million others as slow as it is going. ;-)

It is going to snow again all weekend so I'm devoting the time to doing artwork. I have a St. Patrick's Day picture I'm working on and then I'll do my Easter one. It promises to be really silly. After that I am going to do a series of 4 pictures with Feng Shui themes that my niece would like. I hope to have them done in time to present them as a wedding gift. I also have a wedding dress to make for her based on the Princess Bride movie and find and learn the Irish Wedding Song that I promised to sing at her wedding. It is a good thing she is giving me a year to try and get all of this done.
