Crazy record setting auction last night. Not a fan of Warhol, but obviously some are. Two of his portraits sold, one a Marlon Brando piece for 70 million and an Elvis one for 81 million. Unreal.

Skip is showing me how to do cloisonne - these two pieces are 2" X 2".
My first effort:
Skip's piece from the day (with foil backing - a cool effect):
Nice working with my girl and learning something new from a real artist.
Plus, the 1500-degree kiln keeps the studio nice and warm!
This is what they look like after the mounting on black glass and framing (recycled bamboo flooring scraps). Another piece by Skip - her most involved one to date (foil backing again):

Pretty sure this was a self-portrait...

Pretty darn good, MisterE!
Reilly, one of my happiest memories is the week I spent in Firenze in 2013 with my artist/art teacher sister Marilyn. We spent the whole day in the Uffizi and we also stood in front of that piece. we so SOO much amazing art on that trip.

Ack! Beats me how this kinda thing happens.
I was just now reading of Constance Frederika Gordon-Cumming, the Victorian era traveling woman who wrote Granite Crags of California.
She was referred to in a gender-free fashion as C.F. Gordon-Cumming, but she was also called Eka. That is bizarre in itself, but this is the kicker for TONIGHT...
Her artwork includes many views of Fiji, which is not Tahiti, but awfully close.http://rainbowrobstravels.blogspot.com/2013/03/pt-1-1870s-wandering-artist.html
This link is about her visit to the Pacific islands.
And this link is about her visit to California and Yosemite.
http://rainbowrobstravels.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/part-two-1870s-wandering-artist.html
You can google her all night. Her brothers wrote books on hunting in India and Africa. She wrote a love story about John Muir.

hey there say, norwegian...
thank you very kindly...
love OF humans, is in the world, through the hands of many...
hard to find it at times, as it can be hidden...
but when chips are down, you find it reaching out...
we all try our hand at it, in various ways...
through art,
through cards...
through daring rescues, or just simple ones...
and--through stone lamps... :)
and through words to others, at the ol' taco...
edit:
oooops, had the word 'or' instead of 'of'
and--norwegian, hope that heart break gets some balm, to
help... you are of worth, so here's to you mending...

hey there say, all...
not sure, how to share this--IT IS A SLIDE SHOW, but not on youtube??
my collection update--in order--of how they were done...
missing about three paintings, only... ?
had forgot to photograph them, :O
by the end of this month, though, i will have ten more to add in, so
i will have to start making shorter videos, or,
perhaps do them by 'types'??
but this was just for fun, for to show my mommy... :)
HERE YOU GO (if we get it to work)--HAD TO use 'generic music' for the clip, but the first one that i made the slide show, as, had
beethoven:
*oooops, it is on facebook, so i can't find a way to share it :O
*will try, later, :)
:)

hey there say, mouse... wow, i know it can work, this way, but say, most likely only those on facebook can see it, right...?
i tried to find the more public way to share it, but was not sure where to find the 'changes' i can go look...
thanks so much, :))
say, sounds a bit like street-type cafe music, hee hee,
near le' louvre, perhaps, ;)
NOT IN, mind you, but near, :))

So there is this painting at the Vatican that was cleaned a few years ago
and re-examined whereupon they determined that it is the first depiction of
Carib Indians, or any native Americans, in art. Of somewhat tangential
interest, at least to me, this was featured in the Canal+ series 'Borgia'.
Hey, who doesn't love the arcane? I have to hand it to the French to
include this in a TV series.
The detail which I have lightened a bit in PS. The detail area is +/- 3"x4"?

Very nice portraits Toejahm. Great depiction of a climbing legend and like the artistic expression/style on the Woolf painting too.
