Hi-  You mean to tell me you live in Maine?  I've only ever seen pictures of Maine and it looks beautiful in the summer and fall.  I'm grew up in Chicago, but the winters annoyed the crap out of me so I moved to Florida almost twenty years ago.  Things are very different from the frozen north here.  Warm winters, palm trees, exotic birds, alligators--not to mention the beaches.  I realize Florida isn't for everyone but I'll take white sand over white snow anytime. Keep up the great work. Stay cool (or warm? --whatever)   -W

Nasus Noaj is anything you wish it to be though many seeing formal names in some of my titles most of the time they are words from other languages or just a jumble of letters.  Most of my current work centers around environmental or ecological issues focused off on some far distant world but can be related to our own time and place.

 

Thank you for checking my wok out I do appreciate it very much.

Your work is so beautiful. Really enjoyed looking around your gallery. And thanks so much for your visits to my page!

Thanks for the visit!  The speckled look comes from the texture of the paper.  My scanner sucks, so it added a few specks here and there.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your kind words....cradled birch is just a sheet of cabinet-grade birch plywood (1/4") that has been nailed and glued to 1 x 3's or 1 x 2"s...like a shadow box.  It doesn't need a frame--I just stain or paint the edges.

Best regards,

 

Steve

If a tree is sacred, I guess giving it a personality, and not just that, it is a dentistree! Putting a no fishing sign on a tree and then a fishing line....these kind of make fun of some ones idea of sacred.

I think I may have inserted my foot in my mouth (again).  I was thinking of a comment about loose brushwork from a different artist, and it wasn't even on Robin's site. So sorry if your were vexed by my comment.  As I said, I do really like your sense of humor....I am inclined to actually put a fish line on a tree with the sign, and perhaps you are too.  But drawing it is different than the practical joke that might hurt the poor property owner for who the pond is sacred.....

That said, I still have to wonder how you would approach a project with a #20 filbert.

I know what you mean.  Work has a way of getting in the way of life!
