No Comment

I did this painting some time ago. It is in a private collection.

The tug of war between press and politico is never ending. One wants to gather and provide meaningful information and to elude evasive or misleading responses. One wants to avoid being trapped into giving harmful and incomplete soundbites and to express a point of view without it being distorted. An optimist appreciates the checks and balances as a beneficial system. A cynic begins to despise both sides.

If I can’t have it my way then neither can you. So, let’s just put it off until after the next election.

Popsicle Photos

Filed under: DRAWINGS — Colby @ 10:26 am

With four cute kids eating popsicles together in the park we had several cameras snapping away at the same time. Ended up with over a dozen versions. I picked four faces based 1) on cuteness, 2) action and 3) how they’d fit together, aethestically, in the drawing. Then I scrunched everybody closer together on the bench. I had already decided to make a pencil drawing. The idea to color the popsicles came out of nowhere.

Compromise: the settling of differences to the point that no one gets what they want.
