many roads

There are many roads to take in life. I happen to be on an open road, that has no walls. It has no lines painted down the center and that allows me to swerve to the left in the last moment, or if I feel like it drift zig zag, and flow from one side to the other. We are in a maze and the sooner we realize that there are no rules to follow which path, the better. I sometimes go  full speed, other times I like to meander. This is my life……many roads, no end in site.

YEAH L.A.!

It’s official. LA City Council moved today to ban plastic bags, making Los Angeles the largest city in the U.S. to do so.

Winning…

NO MORE PLASTIC BAGS ON THE BEACHES!

airbrush…

Does anyone love the airbrush like I do? I did this because I have not painted with an airbrush for so long. I’m sorry but there is just no way you can blend colors and get the subtle gradations like you can when you spray! It just can’t happen with a brush. Do you know when you see a bad spray job, why it’s bad? It’s usually because they went from dark to light without mixing a few colors to get there. I saw a rose painted on a building the other day. It’s a flower shop on Ventura Blvd. just west of Sepulveda. The artist painted a red rose and then thinking they were doing the right thing to give it some life, they took I’m sure a white can of spray paint and make little highlight sprays here and there to signify light bouncing off the pedals. Well that’s o.k. but wrong color….You have to mix the steps and take it gradually back to light, not white. It is a color process of taking the main color and putting light into it to get it to a highlight shade. Understand? I use to teach beginning airbrush instruction in my studio in Venice, it’s so much easier to show someone. It’s so hard to talk it thru, you really just have to try it.

How many blues did I mix for the water…..probably around 30 !
