Never complain when a woman gives you the 'silent treatment...' Silence is golden!!
-
smb. I just wrote about 500 words re: "never complain...'Silence is golden!" When I was finished it dissappeared! I am sure it was my fault but it was strange. So I'll try again, if I fail, I'll quit. I give women the silent treatment. If they are interested in me, they'll let me know, verbally or with a friendly smile. I've been operating the same way since grammar school: let the girls come to you, unless with a very special girl, a lot of competition, yo...

Portland Bay in the South of England. Yes, it was my photo. Taken from on board C.S. Wave Sentinel, at the Inner Coaling Pier, if I remember correctly!

From the album: Have a go!
I thought the painting was already finished at this stage... Then I noticed that the window glass was just a bit too clean... (I wish I could get mine to look like that!!) -
From the album: Have a go!
The painting is three quarters finished here. It has already had it's final spraying with fixative and I will not be applying any more. I want the final layers, (which will be on the window frame, the wall and the flowers and vase,) to stand-out with bright colors that will bring them into the foreground. -

The finished painting. Not much changed from stage 003 - 'just added a few smears to the window glass. (Well, I thought 003 was already finished until I realized that I wished I could get my own windows that clean!) -

The completion of my latest painting represents two 'firsts' for me! Firstly, having been struggling with issues of lack of inspiration, finding the time and actually being able to complete my previous painting, (started last year sometime) - this is my first complete painting of the year 2012 Secondly, this is my first ever painting that was not based on a photograph - and no photographic reference material was used - not even for the large (lily-like?) flower... The koi pond, right in the middle of that lovely, rough and very green cottage garden lawn was just my idea of a perfect view from my ideal kitchen window! Let me know what you think! Window With a View -
From the album: Some more recent pastel paintings
My first ever painting that was not based on a photograph! This is a purely fictitious scene that I just concocted-up in my imagination. It is supposed to be a view through an old country cottage window, somewhere in the South of England on a warm, sunny morning. The garden pool has some koi swimming around in it and the bench is just waiting for me to take out my coffee and sit on it to watch the koi! The Full 3.84MB image file of this painting can be downloaded in the ArtFreaks.com Downloads module If you wish to purchase the actual painting, you can check the ArtFreaks.com Store and see if it is still for sale -

Probably my biggest distraction when I am home on leave, is trying to run and keep up-to-date a dozen different membership websites. I am still very much on a 'learning curve' when it comes to the internet and the mechanics of making a website. Still, the rainy season is here now in the Philippines, so it's not quite so hot indoors... I'm hoping to be able to get a bit more done with my latest project this weekend!

I am not going to say sorry for the rest of my life... As corrupt officials and politicians around the world always say: "Let's move on!"
