I'm slow. Also, the frame is a lie. It's not really framed. The painting is still wet and drying in my bathroom. I just photoshopped that on there to try and make it look more impressive! This painting took about 3 hours, which was long enough for the weather to change about 4 times. Lots of deer hunters in the area stopping to check it out and say hello. Also, this was apparently in George Lucas' backyard - the road seen in the painting is Lucas Valley Road.

Ever since the Primos Parilla food truck disappeared and stopped serving delicious Argentinean food to my neighborhood I've been very, very upset. Felt the need to include them in this little sketchbook homage as a thanks for the best chicken of all time. They're the truck with the little "RIP" beneath it. Very sad, but I will never forget them or their mushed up green stuff that tasted to good with my chicken.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQsmvZ8TmECwo1OAszuMm5SnRybyILRPWLiKPvY1VbsuwIaJ3Iy-oFk20gMi6eTHjv6QrQGl5O_mUOHsDcljch4MBMFsvZy7XOLYHdIsVMt1WpxoZpCZgmoYyKTrSdKtRMiK0ZzblGhCo/s1600/FoodTrucks.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 125px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQsmvZ8TmECwo1OAszuMm5SnRybyILRPWLiKPvY1VbsuwIaJ3Iy-oFk20gMi6eTHjv6QrQGl5O_mUOHsDcljch4MBMFsvZy7XOLYHdIsVMt1WpxoZpCZgmoYyKTrSdKtRMiK0ZzblGhCo/s400/FoodTrucks.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628003765164571506" /></a>That third truck up from the bottom is the Chairman Bao truck, and I just learned that the graphics on it were designed by James Jean! I had always liked them, and this would explain why. Also did a drawing on Haight street, and the other one's looking at the Ferry building on Embarcadero. Did one of Chinatown, too, but it sucked and my hands were freezing so I'm not posting it because it's just fugly. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbf97rwirnpC63MWmF35OWj9xWfeXswPIA92eQYx20WerhX3d8BUOouv_eyO-EoB8oVRRB3QrCaL3Qk4OLSHQbHMNNfSQgUhdq0H2bcK5J5D3bc8AOibSncSD6HV23iMAMctWOLzKGs8/s1600/FerryBuilding.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 125px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbf97rwirnpC63MWmF35OWj9xWfeXswPIA92eQYx20WerhX3d8BUOouv_eyO-EoB8oVRRB3QrCaL3Qk4OLSHQbHMNNfSQgUhdq0H2bcK5J5D3bc8AOibSncSD6HV23iMAMctWOLzKGs8/s400/FerryBuilding.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628003769376197554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1NYIOrAuzyDDeIpN_BPTVlZZgGuUrM7nwJ6hLF0VsDqj_O_ynNZ27TqzMqiYVJM9YovVsIiM2GBuZ0HKHHYp9eLfDgoO4WS87hV3XPXAx7BrtF3o6BSLeLFRXDeqBnysvGo5afFe9yQ/s1600/Haught.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 125px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1NYIOrAuzyDDeIpN_BPTVlZZgGuUrM7nwJ6hLF0VsDqj_O_ynNZ27TqzMqiYVJM9YovVsIiM2GBuZ0HKHHYp9eLfDgoO4WS87hV3XPXAx7BrtF3o6BSLeLFRXDeqBnysvGo5afFe9yQ/s400/Haught.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628003765891423762" /></a>How are you doing?

Could have been a sad gathering, instead it was beautiful and great seeing everybody. Also lovely to to wish my mum a Happy Mother's Day in person. Aurora is right on Cayuga Lake and I'd almost forgotten how amazing that area of New York is. Here's my doodle:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_qeRuY_mRx_6qhCtxW8qNgQ75xGOF0g_-FwvjWeZAK-gjWjdC5wwwKKA0PCJGoJ-19aSv8UH9Fs57z7QDkiFJ1bXOYb3Q8UQHr-BVoVUbc6tuT68ECMr500dHBnBUajla0UVOdaVKfA/s1600/Cayuga1200.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 129px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_qeRuY_mRx_6qhCtxW8qNgQ75xGOF0g_-FwvjWeZAK-gjWjdC5wwwKKA0PCJGoJ-19aSv8UH9Fs57z7QDkiFJ1bXOYb3Q8UQHr-BVoVUbc6tuT68ECMr500dHBnBUajla0UVOdaVKfA/s400/Cayuga1200.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605327554043646882" /></a>Sadly, Grandma passed away, but being with everyone else that loved her was the best way to say goodbye.

For example, I constantly have to zoom way out from the image so that I can get a sense of the whole composition. I liken this to standing up and stepping back from an actual canvas. <div>Painting on the phone also makes me use as big of a brush as possible for each spot on the screen. As soon as I start to fiddle with something really tiny, I wind up with a bunch of noisy scratches that just distract or go unnoticed in the bigger picture. I think the phone is also making me establish a decent method for attacking an image since I can't get too complex with layers or selection edges or nothin. </div><div>In this piece, I'm not sure if it's the value structure, composition or the colors (or maybe a bit of all three) that bother me most. But next time I sit down, I want to focus on pushing the light areas on top of the dark areas on top of the light areas on top of the dark areas . . . etc, etc . . . Really concentrate on layering and exaggerating my values. I also want to figure the composition out a bit more w/ a thin brush so it's not such a happy/unhappy accident as I progress through the piece. This one got a little weird and I wound up just slapping on some bright colors in an attempt to separate foreground elements from stuff behind them!<br />Still, it's a good time trying to make images in a painter-ish way rather than my usual pencil/watercolor-wash-attack method.<br />Hope you all are doin real nice and that we'll meet again soon!<br /><br />Happy trails -<br />X O X O X O<br /></div></div></div>Robbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18219574823642129426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154998955332262039.post-18203463408486503482009-07-06T00:32:00.000-07:002009-07-06T00:54:32.145-07:00Zing-Blam!

One of the very first things I did was get online to figure out some preferred places to dine. So you can imagine my excitement when roadfood.com informed me of a certain Andy Nelson's BBQ less than a half-mile from my house! As I've said before, this website has never lead me astray and I cherish each and every location it shares with me. I don't think there could have been a warmer greeting to a new city.
