Strange Occurrence at Hermosa Beach Pier
I love foggy mornings because the air feels laden with some ancient power. The tangible world is limited by the density of mist and you never know what might emerge.
One foggy morning in April I found myself on the Hermosa Beach Pier. As I captured a few moments of the eerie ambiance with my camera a familiar tune of my youth gently wafted through my mind...
What happened next...well what happened next I'm glad I filmed. I've left the clip unaltered.

"In the misty morning,-"Children of the Sea" Heaven and Hell, Black Sabbath 1980
On the edge of time,
We've lost the rising sun,
The final sign..."
What happened next...well what happened next I'm glad I filmed. I've left the clip unaltered.

Fun with Non Stickyness
So I love to oil paint but cleaning the brushes is such a bummer. I kept seeing these new Non-Stick barbeque brushes everywhere. They finally popped up in the hardware store and were being used as non-stick glue brushes. HMM I thought could I oil paint with one? So I found one for less than a quarter and gave it a go.
I just started putting stuff on a canvas to get a feel for it.
While painting I heard about a friends 100 lb. harvest of lavender. This seemed like a lot of lavender for one person. I was then inspired to paint a field of lavender.
Things were going okay. The brush was cake to clean and switching colors was as easy as wiping a babies butt.
The brush loaded up with paint.

I felt the brush was a little long so I hacked it down
That's more like it. I pressed on for a few days letting the paint dry
between sessions. Not having a back painting (just the white canvas) I
decided to work that in as a lighting effect.
The "finished" painting
(are they really ever finished?)
