There were Signs

Image by SnaggleTooth Feb 2016

I know this stuff I'm doing here really appeals to my taste. Another wall dec I'd like to stare at while I have to wait somewhere boring.

 Bet Wassily Kandinsky ( Aquarell 6 ) would get ticked off at how easy this is without actually lifting  a paintbrush... He was my most admired abstract artist whose work I discovered while in college. Few can figure out the appeal of what he did.

School made me mix custom color studies by hand too. But these experiments are so easy for me, using  my paint program n preset custom effects.

Click, click, crop, click, n again. Et voila` more happy surprises. Discovery is the point of an Artist's life. Even an audience enjoys discovering a new image.

I wonder what Freud would say of this abstract, altered image obsession I have.

I don't try to find familiar forms in these, like the non-familiar.

All it means to me is I just think it's fun, n I don't get alot of that. I needs me more. Back to other stuff like blog, book, n tax reading...

Lots to Read

Photo by SnaggleTooth 2016

Recently, I was the object of a book-gifting project online, thanks to Erica B and "The Bloggess," who is one of the authors. I received eight great books to read from Amazon. Folks are doing a good job of trying to cheer me up with these.

I'd like to publicly thank all of the gifters for their kindness.

They came with a bar code thing to scan with a smartphone to send thanks notes - but I can't figure it out on my semi-smartphone yet.
(Probably need an app or two). Most things paid for so far have refused to install for unknown reasons- Formats must not be compatible.

I've been feeling like such a whiner lately. It's tough when all you can think about is negative things going on around you. There has been plenty.

Well the bright side is we only played icicle a few days here before the weather swung back to above freezing again. It seemed down-right balmy with sunshine when I walked Wednesday. I had to un-button my coat, n I didn't wear a hat. I had to go get a new one, because the last two mysteriously disappeared. I can picture them snickering n running away while I wasn't paying attention... Luckily hats are cheap this time of year. The plow-piles of snow are almost all melted away from sidewalks now.

I'm still not recovered from the heart products day of early work last Saturday. Still unable to make-up by getting extra sleep this week. The house female kitties, who need fixing, are meowing loudly often, interrupting what ever sleep the people here aren't. Amazingly I'm plodding on in my zombie state n doing needed things.

After being dropped my camera was finally snapped back into one piece, (minus a timer  indicator light) n still functions! Yay! My little dvd player fell (darn cat again). I crossed my fingers n put the disc back in, n it still plays - Yay!

 It's been a "Twilight" movie series week for me. I'd forgotten so many of those soundtrack songs, my fave part are the ones in the credits n in bonus music videos. I still think soundtracks are one of the most important parts of a successful film. So many I don't see twice because the music did not impress me. But my faves always have sound I wish to hear again.

I'm doing pretty good at tax form avoidance. Definitely need my tired brain together for that. I still play too...

I actually found some pink n red stuff in this week's pic to play with- Just in time for the Feast of St Valentine.

I like these corner crop ones-

Really had no think up a post time this week- so I'm winging it fast, n gotta run soon.

All made from this one.

Finally got bird pics from the window this week.
But today I dropped my cam n don't know if I 'll get it to snap up n work again!  First try didn't work- Will try again later at home.

Is this Valentine's Day thing for the birds? I still like the excuse to do artwork for it...
n also the Day After candy sales...

Gotta fly

What Up, not much

Image by SnaggleTooth 2016


This week we seem to again be having a "Non-Winter" season.
Almost 50F out today, n rain instead of flakes. Those are predicted for a day later. The Cape seems to be getting better snow than the Boston area so far.

 Another painful sinus infection is afflicting me. I just want to rest n stop the head-aches, no doubt caused by the wacky weather fluctuations. ontop of a cold, ontop of allergies. Of course my main symptoms are fatigue n aches. Nothing five years of sleep without allergens wouldn't cure.

Time to dig up all the tax info n get going on that again. That is another dig thru the closet boxes chore, due to filing paper forms last year. The library trip this week is just to search for Federal forms n get them before they run out. Also I need a e-copy of instructions this time. I had to pay to copy them last year- hoping to not drag my feet on those this year. Not reading much else lately.

So tempting just to watch films- It's been so long since I've seen them all. Dug up a few more in the pile to watch in series- Currently on X-Men III. Then prob will watch Twilight Vampire Saga next. All so much more fun than those pesky tax instructions. No e-file for me...

Pic is the snow last storm on a little fence outside my window- which looked kind of like gnomes or Disney elves to me. Hiho it's off to work I go-
