1 point 1 (hours) is how long it took us to fly from St. Petersburg to Sarasota and back. That includes time on the ground going through checklists, taxing, etc. So actual time in the air would closes to 15-20 minutes each way.<br />
<br />
We had the sky to ourselves. Daytime can mean a lot of traffic in the air all around Tamba Bay and we were fortunate enough to time both trips in such a way as to enjoy a very quiet time in the air.<br />
<br />
Angie worked the camera and I minded the plane.<br />

Experiment completed. Note to self: keep the model black and white. Give the model a coat of while <span style="text-align: center;"> acrylic and call it done. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>

Messing about with Vector, Conté Crayons, graphite and hard charcoal. It's nice to have a patient model. I doubt I can salvage this iteration so if nothing else it's a beginning of the next one.<br />
<br />

Mr. as a SBB (a.k.a Space Bacon Bit) Started an experiment with a pix of Mr. Bun as starter for a SBB. Again, would be nice to have a model for this.<br />
<br />
Paper and hard charcoal, for a canvas of about 22 x 28 in<br />

A few evenings with a pix of Mr. Bun and audio book of Hemingway's "Islands in the Stream".<br />
<br />
I had a little canvas "pre-painted" with acrylics at one of those "drink and paint" places. Perfect for experimenting. Some of that under-painting still shows, for example, the red and orange around the eye.<br />
<br />
I'd love to have Mr. Bun pose, but he's got better things to do than sitting still. Napping, noming and other things come to mind.<br />

I wanted to paint on of those directly from observation for quite some time now. Trying to avoid making a big project out of this I painted over some old canvas going back to the early 90's Some of that is showing through the black and white under-painting. It's still wet so next layer has to wait.</div>

Decided to paint this little guy black and white with acrylics. I was just curious as to what would change if I painted it with a range of grays. It turned very gloomy and foreboding. I have to admit I got surprised by that. I like it in terms of having the tonal values worked out. Next, I'll have to give it some color, bring a bit of life into it. I'll tuck away the black and white episode for future reference. It did sprout a couple of ideas for me ;-)<br />
<br />
PS: More tethered shooting practice. The whole set got improvised on the kitchen table this time ;-)<br />

A couple of months back, the old stuff has been all painted over. Next, soften things up and give them some form.

I've had this guy ready to be photographed for the record for a while now. Finally, last night, I manged to record the black and white version of it. It's white, with base of 8 x 8 inches and a little under 11 inches tall.<br />
It's made of white Sculpy and wire (then baked) mounted in a wooden base, filled with fine gravel, aquarium sand and wood glue. Then painted with white acrylic.<br />
<br />
Next, I'd like to paint it again, with acrylics, as if it were a painting itself. Thus I wanted something for the "before" record :-)<br />

Decided to sit down and work with Vector from direct observation on New Year's Day, first thing in the morning. So far, I got his ears too small and discovered acrylic on polyester tends to behave a bit differently than on paper. Still, it was a lot of fun and I'm getting a little hooked on it ;-)Ijon Tichy the Nthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16336283921623106537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530186609514460881.post-24488726623640596852014-12-12T13:14:00.000-08:002016-01-17T15:56:10.400-08:00Vector<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Funny thing happened the other day when I did a search on myself and looked at the search results for Images. Vector showed up. Hm, interesting. Turns out <a href="http://vonsimeon.com/" target="_blank">Von Simeon</a> wrote a little story inspired by him. If that wasn't surprising, details in the story definitely make it so. Check it out <a href="http://vonsimeon.com/2014/10/09/writing-prompt-dirty-bunny/" target="_blank">Writing Prompt: Dirty Bunny</a><br />

Vector is a plush, peaches-and-cream kind of a kangaroo. We go back all the way to 1990.<br />

All good, right? ... wrong. Somehow blogger retained some old custom CSS I've added last year. So when I use one the stock templates from blogger, all's well and no legacy CSS are messing things up. But they return when try the new custom stuff. Go figure. Not enough time to play with it today so this stays for now.

This strange adventure below started a few years ago and steadily gone nowhere. It drifted from being hopeless to a lost cause. So my last ditch effort to turn it around comes in after taking reference shots during flight last July described <a href="http://resumeownnavigation.blogspot.com/2014/10/it-will-have-to-be-painted.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

Following up on Bunsferatu, this is larger (24 x18 maybe?) exploratory effort. Still an experiment, but more detailed and closer to where a much larger piece will go. Where is it going? There's no way of knowing ;-) Once I started with the blues I just wanted to stay there for the moment. We'll see how well blues work as the under-painting. Next 2 layers will be interesting. I do like the possibilities provided by the larger scale. Bunsferatu and this are based on the same line sketch.Ijon Tichy the Nthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16336283921623106537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530186609514460881.post-11210653548524385032014-10-09T12:24:00.001-07:002014-10-09T12:26:08.621-07:00Bun Zero - First Draft<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thanks to Angie I finally 3 pieces on display at <a href="http://communitycafestpete.com/" target="_blank">Community Cafe</a> in St. Petersburg, FL! She prodded me and did not let me off the hook :-) Thank you Angie!<br />
<br />
I have not done anything like it since early 1990's. Last time Vector was on display was the 3 Birds Bookstore in Ybor City. Time flies.<br />
<br />
If you wonder, the cafe has a new show every few months and this time it's Halloween. Hence Vector's name, "Vector #666" is a bit of a play on words. The 666 part will strike a cord with some, but it's also the HEX code for medium gray color in HTML. And since this Vector is in grays, you figure the rest ... ;-)<br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-114e1351-ec13-ea43-5e1d-a3186c8e55c6"><br /><div dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">

If all went N99344 and I would go off toward the beaches to practice slow flight, steep turns and forward slips. I packed the camera, just in case. We took off a little after 8pm. Bottoms of the clouds were at about 2,000 ft., puffy little clouds all over, moving north-east. Thunderstorms to the north and north east. Some cloud buildup to the south. </span></div>

The only, distant traffic, we observed was a suspected AligentAir sneaking into St. Pete/Clearwater airport. </span></div>

Steep turns went well, better than I expected. It's been a few months since I practiced them. Slow flight went really well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

It was getting darker by the second. There was some daylight left, but for the camera's eye, it was getting dark. The sky was flowing through its post sunset dance and everything in sight got a chance to turn spectacular, if only for a short while.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Turning east we called up Albert Whitted tower and a little while later, we were landing. By 9 pm we taxied toward the ramp, all finished for the night. Still baking in the plane, heat and humidity not letting up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Looking at the images that night only briefly, they seemed more disappointing than usual. I knew we had very little light and not the best equipment to work with. Still, it felt like there was A LOT missing, but what?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What didn’t show was the emotional distance between the two worlds I’ve been in that day. Absence of work hassle, traffic jams, schedules, worries and frustrations is not readily apparent until one give it some thought. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After a few days the pictures began to look a lot better all on their own. Or maybe my appreciation of what happened grew. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then it started sinking in. One of the images was good enough to be used as a reference for a painting. </span></div>

Time flies regardless. Deciding to catch up on what happened since last post this guy popped up again and demanded some respect. Christmas of 2012 saw a few of these, knocking off snowmen.
