The Life of Miners

So, my son is trying to get out of 8th grade… I mean pass his history class so he does not have to repeat. So, for his final project he made a little video presentation. We are hoping that Mr. Rice has a sense of humor … Enjoy   :D

Thirsty 3

So, I have actually been working on this painting a bit over the past month, but honestly, it is difficult to be motivated when the garage studio is 45 degrees. I have a space heater now but it costs a lot to run and it all the heat gets sucked out as soon as someone opens the garage door. <woosh!>

So, here you have the latest draft of this piece. The top kid on the top right is turning out to being the focus. I am struggling still with the faces a bit – specifically the eyes… but I WILL get them right. It is the most important part to get right. I hate seeing a painted face with one eye higher or farther to the side than the other…

Adding color has really changed the feel of the painting. I like it, but I also really liked the look and feel of the monotone version. I will post again when I have something new to show… but we are planning to move in the next month, so craziness ensues.

What’s in a Name?

I was doing some research on my family names. One of them is McNab, which is my great great grandmother’s maiden name. Its origin is Pictish (from Scotland) – meaning “Mac an Aba” or “Son of the Abbot”. It must either predate the time when Abbots practiced celibacy, OR… it means a spiritual son of the leader of the monastery.

Peace, Friar McNab
