Artwork Time Lapse Solution
You might have seen some of my drawing and painting time lapse videos recently. I’ve been working on solutions for filming with varying success.
In Frame
One of my collectors likes the way I frame my paintings. So for each work of mine that he adds to his collection I also frame them before I send them to him.

White Water Wandering with Schwarza Sailors
A cold mountain river cleaves its way between two massive mountains, etching its course into a deeper gorge with each passing aeon. For a brief moment in that expanse of time Peter Gric and I navigated our way along its twisting course.

This is my studio view at the moment. I’m out of the city for awhile at Peter Gric’s house in the country.

Mariner Painting Development
I did things a bit differently this time around. I marked out the drawing on the canvas in ink rather than pencil and I also blocked in some of the shadows to force me to concentrate on the values of the painting.

Change – Beginnings and Endings
At the threshold, on the eve of, when life morphs into something else, do you stand and hesitate or do you dive headlong in, or will life push you?
