Veggies

Posted on October 15, 2016 by kimerer_brian

With the nights turning cold, and the danger of frost in the morning, we have harvested most of the last of the veggies from the garden. It is a motley crew fer sure.

Veggies

The carrots are a special, miniature type. They sort of turned out stubby and funny-looking. I mean, look at this one.

PantsIt looks like a pair of pantaloons!

Har har!

You can make ’em dance. La la….

Dancin'

LOL!

Hey! Don’t play with your food!

HA! Ya think?! Look at this!

Snoop Dog!

SNOOPYYYYY!*

HAHAHA

*Snoopy humor credit goes to Danielle.

** Really. D did it. Not my kind of humor.

***Really.

****Not my fault.

Almost Done

Posted on October 9, 2016 by kimerer_brian

We had another rainy day today, so I disappeared into my drawings. They are almost done.

Almost

I need to make a few refinements to them, and then I can take them to the framer.

It was a gloriously rainy weekend, so I disappeared into the basement and made some more progress on my drawings.

More done

Not done yet, but we are getting there.

FitzRoy

Posted on October 1, 2016 by kimerer_brian

My Admiral FitzRoy storm glass has gone nuts. Look at this:

storm-glass-img_2931

After being mostly clear all Summer, those crystals have climbed all the way up. I have never seen the crystals so high in the glass. The drought is over!

What? You don’t remember what this is? See my post on July 28, 2013

Storm Glass

For a more careful analysis of the crystals, here is a closer view:

closeup

You can clearly see that at the top there are clouds and slanty streaks of rain coming out of them… and then look down to the swirling stuff in the middle, which indicates there will be puddling on the ground and rising rivers and ponds, and then on down into the cacophony (I like that word) of stubble toward the ground, which indicates a good saturation and future smiling trees.

OK. Laugh if you want to. Is it finally raining outside or not?

Progress

Posted on September 25, 2016 by kimerer_brian

I made some progress on my latest P&I (that’s artist talk for Pen & Ink) drawings.

Buoys

There is still a bunch of cross hatching to do, but these are on their way. If I can find time to work on them over the next couple of weeks, they might be done in time to have them framed for the show in November.

Here is the big one, all framed in a nice, professional frame.

That’s a crappy, keystoned photo, but hey, it’s hanging in a skinny little hallway. You can see a better photo of this drawing on my Art Page.

http://www.thekimerers.net/brian/art/

Simply click on the big box in the middle of the page to see the drawing. If you keep clicking over and over again on the image in the box, you will be delighted (or bored) over and over again by numerous paintings done by me.

Spud

Posted on September 21, 2016 by kimerer_brian

Someone found this spud in the potato bag,

Spud

and then drew a face on it. Here is the other side

Other side

And then, someone actually gave it a name, “Hairy Pete”.

Do I need to mention that this did not end up in the dinner tonight? There’s no telling what could be in that ink.

The drawing is done. Here is a photo.

There is a larger copy of this image on my web page if you want to go there and zoom in on it. The photo does not do the drawing justice because the camera does not have the resolution necessary to pick up all the details.

On to my next adventure. I think I might brew some more beer soon.

Progress

Posted on July 31, 2016 by kimerer_brian

I spent a few hours on my drawing again today. I made a bit of progress… and without any especially bad spills.

progress

It looks like I am about 2/3 done with this now. Of course, I didn’t do all of this today. That picture is the result of three weeks of work. This is slow stuff.

Being close to getting done means that the pressure is on to avoid turning over the ink bottle on top of it.

Don’t laugh. I’ve done it…. during a demo… with people watching…. and then with people helping me clean up the mess. It was embarrassing.

OK. To add a little color to this post, here is a photo of our Black Eyed Susans trying to take over the world again.

There. That’s better.
