I build bridges with oil paint. They aren’t safe to drive over, but mine are only meant to be walked across in your brain.

When I see a photo of the the photo next to the painting, the weak areas and wrong places appear. Yikes. Just try to be polite, ‘k?

I drew this in pencil so I could bypass the Weak Areas Stage of painting. Isn’t it fun to see all these weird bright colors? It is beginning to be correct in the farthest away places.

Keep layering, Central California Artist. You’ll get there, eventually.

Okay, everyone gather in close for a family snapshot! (Yes, I know you aren’t fully dressed yet, and that you don’t have your make-up on, and that you forgot your earrings. We are recording real life here, not having a formal studio portrait, so just calm down.)

Remember, there will be a meeting on Monday, February 8, 6 p.m. at the Three Rivers Memorial Building to discuss the future of this bridge. There is conflicting info about the time and place of the meeting – for the real info, call Jason Vivian at 624-7135.
