Some of you may remember this painting. I have to tell y'all the truth. After the first couple of days, I HATED this painting! The colors were off, the perspective sucked and I just plain hated it! This painting is no more. The canvas has been stripped off and burned. THIS is my newest...

I was checking out lenses and I went to the Tamron USA website. They have a section called "My Photo Exhibits". These are like a virtual art gallery with images that you upload and show. I am not quite sure of the why's and wherefores, but I uploaded 2 galleries under the name of... Dil...

I LOVE a bargain! But what really is a bargain? To me, it has to be useful, in being used a LOT! It also has to be cheap. Not 25% off cheap, but the "Oh crap, you paid how much for that?" cheap. Here are a couple of my favorite bargains. I was at Wally World last year rummaging around in the...

Some of you here know that I am also an acrylic artist (There! I said it!). I am often asked what goes into a painting. Here I am going to show you. This is going to be a 16" X 20" landscape. I have not yet figured out exactly what I am going to paint until I get started on the actual scene...

Guess what this is. The winner gets to say he or she guessed correctly. Whoopie freakin' do! :cool:

Many of you may remember this shot from my New Bern trip. I had called it "Honor Guard". This shot was my inspiration for this... My first completed painting in my new studio. This OFFICIALLY opens The Copper Cupola Art Studio!! Yay me! Okay, I'm over it now.

This thread is open to just about anyone that wants to mess around with their photography. Since I started it, I'll go first. I hope everyone enjoys this. "Early Morning Bling"

This is from the Passion Flowers that I rescued from the ground and put into a pot! That is a really screwed up rescue, right? Well, stay tuned. It gets better. As I have said before, 95% of my photography is taken here at home. Why? Simple. I do not drive. Since my heart attack back in April...

I think this is one of my best art shots. There is something about it that strongly appeals to me. Am I deluding myself? Pete

"Passion Flower" I'm pretty sure that I am breaking a rule somewhere, but I just had to get this posted so y'all could see it. I dug up a whole bunch of 'em and I got 'em in a bucket. Maybe they'll grow. Maybe not. Either way, I tried. Enjoy. Pete BTW We have broken 100 degrees and the Old...

These shots are more to show the clean slate aspect of this project. I have cleaned everything inside and out. My next step is to wire this unit with 5 receps, 1 light switch, 2 ceiling fans, 1 center light and 1 spring loaded drafting light. Then its insulation all around. That will finish...

We tried a different approach this year. Usually, our tomato plants don't do so well because of so much direct sunlight and quick showers during the day. We took the unused space at the western end of our deck and tilled it up. We set out tomato plants about 2 weeks ago. This is the result so...
