You have no idea how satisfying it is to spread soft oil color across a canvas and then attack it with a palette knife. I had quite forgotten, as I've been worried about getting smudges on the cats. Cadmium red is probably not part of a healthy cat's diet. They are older now and less likely to bounce around among my implements. I hope.
Dumdedum, my first oil painting in years. Pretty, ain't it?
I have suddenly realized that my Million Faces project is hard to find on Google because I don't link to it anywhere. So here it is, some 210,000 faces thus far, at renekita.tumblr.com.

I have this little musical project. I want to make ten thousand tracks using just my voice as material. Each track is exactly one minute, so I release them in nice hour long chunks - in case you feel nostalgic and want to burn then onto CDR. So, here are tracks 181-240: Ten Thousand Ways of the Voice - Hour 4
I've moved my blogging to Tumblr, since I never did get a reply to my feedback about the grayed out colors on some of my drawings. Pity. I would have liked to keep the series in one place for easier reference. Oh well, who else cares...
Ah, so it's not my scanner, but Blogger that's gone dark... This is just a test post. As you can see by comparing with the previous posting of these same files, they are now displayed much grayer. Grrrrr. I thought I checked that before I bought a new scanner...
Argh. My new scanner takes just as dim pictures as the old one. And these looked a lot brighter in gimp and geeqie. I need to study image processing. Oh well, since I plan to spend the rest of my life making pictures, that's only reasonable.
