Hamilton....some ideas

Sketch painting - don't want to take this any further...was simply working out some ideas.

Anyone notice I took a year or two off?

Hamilton: Sharpie; digital manipulations. Took the sketch, scanned it, and played. What happens to the original drawing is yet to be seen.

Doors Open Hamilton

Well, what a wonderful surprise THAT was! A huge thanks goes out to Rod Paget, whose hard work, enthusiasm and all sorts of other good things brought together a number of artists who enjoy a fascination with things industrial. Our work was mounted amongst the machinery of the powerplant of the old Westinghouse/CAMCO property, or what is now the McMaster Innovation Park.

I have about 1,000 new reference photos....and heaven knows where to start, so I chickened out on what I wanted to do (a fairly complicated structure) and started with a few simple shapes to see where that led...

Still driving me nuts

The struggle continues
