Burgundian Death

This is a scroll for an SCA (http://www.sca.org/) event that is happening tomorrow. It is for the person who dies best in the tournament! The event is Burgundian themed and this was based on a page from The Master of Mary of Burgundy, a book of hours. The original picture is for the Office of the Dead, I made only a few minor changes to the original. I took out one skull and put in the populace badge for my Barony. And I put the name of the Barony on the banner instead of whatever was originally written there. I still have to do the calligraphy on this, but wanted to post just the art first. This is about 7 1/2 x 9, Acrylic and ProWhite on velum (the skin not the paper).  Prints available. Picture 66.

Great Song

Grace Slick did a great solo album called "Dreams" I love almost everything on it. Here is just one of the wonderful songs!

Welcome new followers. Please leave comments when you can. I post my art here to get feedback.

Big Gray Guy

This was done as a prize for an SCA event many years ago. It is based on a 1500's enameled jewelry piece. It is a Father Satyr figure. I also did a Female/Mother version. Both were done in Acrylic on gray paper and were about 5 feet tall.  I hope I have not posted this before.

Another Fight

Well, provided the person who commissioned this likes it, I am done with another picture. He has one more in this series to go. "Bronco, Chicken Cage Fight", 8 1/2 x 11, Acrylic and watercolor colored pencil on Canson board. Again, if it is OKed, prints will be available. (Note; The person who commissioned it liked it, so it is done and prints are now for sale.)picture 65.

Baby Corum

I found this old picture of one of our cats. This is Corum who is about 10 now but was just a kitten in this picture. He is laying on a sheep skin I think. He is a sweet and loving cat.

You Choose to follow a Religion, you DO NOT choose your Sexuality!

Thursday, October 14, 2010

I deleted the comments from the original post because I completely disagree with anyone who thinks being gay or straight is a choice! If you think they are a choice, I think you are very wrong and playing into the hands of those who would deny Gay rights using that argument! You may be born into a religion but it is NOT immutable, you CAN easily in most cases, chose to follow a different faith or no faith at all. Who you are attracted to sexually/emotionally is NOT a choice! There is more than a little scientific evidence that shows an actual physical difference in the brains and genetic factors of Gay men compared to straight men and women. So if you want to comment on this post and you think being gay is a choice, DON'T comment!
