I have been painting. I'm 99 percent finished with a painting a friend is buying as a surprise gift. I've always said no to commission work so this is a new experience for me, and I find it nerve-wracking. I can't post the painting yet so I used the iPad PhotoBooth Kaleidoscope to take this photo of a part of it. I liked this photo so much I took more photos--in the studio; then in the house.
My water bottle and Blue Man painting.
A carved plaster sculpture from years ago, yellow ducks, and radio.
The shadow of my two-headed dog.
He also has two tails!
Makes me wonder why I paint--I could just walk around taking kaleidoscope photos of everything. (I get distracted--too much arting around.)

oh, I am the same way, I could just give up paint and mess around with cameras and filters. It IS thrilling...! These are really beautiful! I can't wait (though, I know I have to) ...to see your commissioned painting. You'll show it to us, won't you?
ReplyDeleteCeleste, I do wonder why I have to paint when so many interesting things can be done with cameras and computers and apps. Back to that question, What is art?
DeleteYou made me smile this morning, Hallie. Loved seeing what you've been up to (though admit it was a tad hard on my old eyes). Can't wait to see the commission piece!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the eyes, CrimsonLeaves--glad I made you smile.
DeleteThese are great! Now I want to buy an iPad just for this app... Can't wait to see the painting. Happy Creating!

Hi Don. It's just something Called PhotoBooth that came with the iPad. There's probably something similar for phones. Even the messiest part of my studio looks cool kaleidoscoped; then I try identify what's in the photo.
DeleteNow that I've got the whirlies, I'm waiting to see the commished work!
ReplyDeleteHi SamArtDog. I'm out of my usual half-bubble-off-plumb element with this painting. I like the whirlies.
DeleteYour photos are awesome Hallie, but I am still looking forward to seeing the painting !
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane. The photos were fun.
DeleteI absolutely LOVE these photos! They are beautiful. It shows you have an artistic eye to be able to see the potential.
ReplyDeleteI've often thought about just sticking with the camera or computer for art and then I get the drawing and writing bug again. I guess it's great to have so many options even if it's so distracting!
I look forward to seeing your commission. It sounds stressful but I have complete faith it will be wonderful.
Thank you, PAMO. Complete faith, huh? That's one of those stress-causing phrases. Ha!
DeleteYou have so many talents, Hallie. How can you possibly decide what to do each day. Love the photos and I look forward to seeing the commissioned piece.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. You may have this on your iPad, too. Just point and when you see something interesting, click. My time would be better spent taking classes--following your example.
DeleteWowsie, what fun. I would be playing with kaleidoscope a lot too.I am sorry,that I've been so lack in commenting. I haven't been tending to my blogger friends and that is unforgivable!My bad :O)
ReplyDeleteHi Eva. I think everyone has Spring Fever--I have been very slow.
DeleteAren't photo apps amazing? Love what you did here . . . I'm ready to get an iPad. the iPhone is hard on my aging eyes and when I see what you do, well. I'm blown away. I too look forward to seeing the commissioned piece!
ReplyDeleteHi Gail. There is SO much that can be done on the iPad--and I know so little. I can say that I have spent a year playing around on it, and loved every minute. I can also say that I might need a parent to set limits! (It's fun to be old and goal-less.)
DeleteHi Hallie, just checking out all my favorite bloggers. Those photos are pretty smart and humorous. I taking photos and I wonder at times, why I paint.
ReplyDeleteSpring is here!!!
Hi DLPBR (Sue). Spring is here; actually we had summer for a few days--now it's cool. I guess you'll be outside painting; watch for bears.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
