what did you do recently???...

was the question asked...

My answer:

I made art. Specifically I drew two apples that happen to look like tomatoes. sigh. oh well, I still like them.

here's the photo from which I was drawing:

apples


and here's my pencil drawing before I blended it (possibly ruined it after the blending incident):


and here's my apples (tomatoes) now after blending (recovering):


It's all a learning process and I am happy with the results. I find it fascinating how the values changed once I started blending. And using an eraser changes values too. I'm still a newb and discovering the value process and the value of not blending too.


Happy art making,
Good day.

Bernie Sanders is a big fat liar...

I cannot stand Bernie Sanders advertising at the moment, talking about the banks and wall street and how these entities need reined in because they are out of control. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black????

Need I remind him that its him and his buddies in Congress that CREATED the so-called "out of control" to happen? They created the laws and wall street was told to follow them.

Congress and the Office of the Presidency are the ones out of control. Congress and The Presidency are the ones that created the laws, laws that wall street followed that caused the bail outs to happen.

Congress and The Presidency are out of control. Congress and The Presidency are the ones who bailed these entities out.

Please, Bernie....have a little control over what you present as truth and give me a break. Or better yet, I'd like a bailout myself.

In fact, Congress could have essentially paid off my mortgage and every other middle classer and still had money left over but instead they chose to bail out the wrong entities and not even have them pay back the bail out money. Seriously??? who does that???

Congress and The Presidency are out of control and are not for anyone but themselves, why else would you exempt yourselves from laws you enact. They all need fired.

And next they'll need to bail out the health care industry because they were out of control, created a monopoly in healthcare, and placed into law a healthcare act that no one can afford.

Good day.
