On the Deck

Battleship

First, thanks to ZaD for creating the group; I was just browsing the neighborhood when I saw that she had created the B/W Photo group and thought I'd throw my lot in.  So, to start, this is one that I really like but that I didn't feel was quite right for my portfolio.

This was taken a few years ago in the port of Nagoya, in central Japan.  My wife and I had gone down to visit some friends and ended up taking a tour of the harbor.  Part of the tour included a trip through a decomissioned ice breaker – this is the deck.

Anyway, please feel free to comment, and thanks again ZaD!

Icon

By the by, I am looking to replace the group icon photo.  I used another of my paintings as a placeholder until I can either make, or acquire a more suitable image.

If you have an image you'd like to submit for our group icon, please send me a private message and we'll talk.

Thanks,

Smiley

Summer

Just a few moments ago, I tried out the new Vox groups, creating the group "Brushstrokes".  I hope to see lots of paintings and images from people, so, if you come across the group, or this post, please feel free to join us.

Anyway, this is my latest.  It is about two feet by one and a half feet, gauche acrylics on canvas.  It took me about a week to do, just with time comitments, not because of anything intrinsically difficult in the painting itself.  I used architect's tape to create the lines between colors, and, uh, yeah, that's about it.

Love it or hate it, please feel free to comment.

Vox Hunt: This Goes Out To All The Lovers

Audio:  Share a great love song.

Concrete Blonde – Take Me Home

Not so much a love song as a song about someone you love and who you know loves you even if neither of you has ever bothered to say; it's about needing someone and knowing that they'll be there.

QotD: I’m Working. Really.

We know you never slack off at work, but if you did, what would you do?

I'd probably sit around and surf the internet all day, just like I do when I'm at home.  Alternately, I would write the great American novel for the upteenth time.
