Rocks and valleys a series of landscapes that celebrate geological weathering. Trying to gather enough information and photos to supplement the process.

Have the next wax pastel over digital photograph work based on one of Ron Kamprath's photographs that he sent me last week.

I have a burbling brook scene that is pleasing. Will resize the picture to fit in a 16" x 20" fame with at least 1.5 inch mat. Which would be 13" x 17" piece.

Got to the point where I have re-remembering what is going on with spreadsheet sorting to make my life a lot easier I will be able to do what I have been asked to do.

My goodness it would seem that the democrats are imploding they can't get png, they don't agree on Anything the claim everything is the Republicans or Bush's fault. Isn't it time to end the blame game. there arew so many things that could be done to help.

Spent must of the day getting things done that needed be be done. Started. New landscape with ink. Had to make the ink with my susuzi and sumo ink blocks.Always a toil and slow progress. I always try to fill at least one 1, 1 oz. Bottle. Doesn't sound like much until you look and see that Higgins Infda Ink is in one ounce bottles. I try tro keep about 10 on hand.

Having a devil of a time trying to decide wether to switch to figurative or continue with landscapes? I haven't spent time on figurative since the seventies and If don't feel that I have gotten to where I want to be with the landscapes. So is it unconsciously obscene to have my work look "pleasing", Now I know that goes against the accepted convention thought. Is it too much to ask to have it my way So I'll have to do some sketches and see what comes up.

As I see it the way the government is handling things it's no going to get any better if there isn't any measurable change for the positive there doesn't look to be any possibility of a corrected situation. So far the unemployment rate is still at or above 9 percent and it has been for almost a full year. The amount of debt is escalating at an alarming rate and the go remnant does not se able to make a decision or if they do they don't seemingly put any thought into it.

Now some have said that that is really fucked up.
