This is the sketch I began 2 days ago, didn't quite like it, let it "gel" in my mind overnite and then completed it yesterday. As I was uploading it today, it took two tries because cyber-criminals tried to break into my blog. I named this sketch "Engine skeleton" since it is the metal framework of the engine only. I have always been fascinated by trains since I was a young girl and would visit my maternal grandmother on the coast of Georgia. The Atlantic Seaboard train roared past her house in the night every night and it would blow its whistle because there was an intersection at her street. Her house was literally feet way from the train tracks. I would walk there to the park just beyond the intersection and sit and swing while I watched for the train, during the day time of course. And the train whistle would wake me up every night I spent at her house in the summers or holidays. It is a fond memory for me. So I have sketched and painted an oil painting of a train [that was stolen from me when I was in Colorado; but I MOVED to Missouri in Oct 2009] but I have the sketches I created and I have posted most of them to my blogs intermittently. Also, reminder I have owned this account [exclusively, no other owner of it] since about 2005 and there is no one else authorized to log in to any account of mine but me. The preliminary of this sketch is below and also the painted canvas I painted a pink background on to use up some of the pink paint I had put on my palette for the engine sketch. I have two new canvases, and clay to learn how to shape into jewely and functional stuff and toys. And I am in process of creating a poster to enter into a poster contest. So, I am very busy.
This is the basic sketch .
This is the newest oil painting I have begun by paiting in a background to use leftover paint on my palette. I photographed this photo in the studio corner of my apt that I use primarily for oil paintings.
This is my signature I signed in digital paint to create a 2015 personal logo but it is not the only one such. I also signed some with paint on paper .
This is my hand on one of my Christian cross necklaces to remind all that I am Southern Baptist and do not make nor worship images of GOD nor of JESUS THE MESSIAH nor bow down to any thing to worship ir or pray to it, in accordance with Exodus chapter 20, KJV.
This is a photo I photographed of U S flag that flies near me, as I walked about. I post it here to remind all that I am a US citizen by birth and have all civil liberties including the first amendment freedom of Press and freedom to worship GOD, and freedom to protest the governments.
My copyright notices for my cameras and for the cameras on my cell phones and for my name written in several ways I have written it on the web since 2002 or before.
Also, warning to whoever sent me a vile video: I do not publish evil, ever. In the future, if you send me such again, I will forward it to the FBI.
