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.

I don’t know if I prefer it this way, horizontal, or rotated clockwise 90º.

Desert Sips

Just in case you were curious about comparing the Desert Sip paintings, here are both images together.

It’s a bit misleading since the original (top) is larger than the newer, abstract version.

Desert Sip 2

Filed under: PAINTINGS — Colby @ 3:31 pm

I was lying on the bed and looked up and behind me at a painting I’d done. It’s called “Desert Sip.” From my upside down view I thought that the colors looked interesting. I wondered what the painting would look like if there wasn’t a recognizable object in it. I decided to find out.

You can view and compare the original, Desert Sip, in the paintings gallery.

Boy Wonder

What can be more intriguing than watching a snail crawl? To a four year old boy, there is wonder in almost everything.
