Some Paintings - 2008



This is a small sample of some paintings completed in 2008. I thought it would be nice to make a presentation in video. I uploaded a high quality version to YouTube, so if you have broadband, please click the "watch in high quality" link directly below the video on the YouTube site because there's nothing worse than witnessing your paintings turn into a fuzzy, washed-out mess in a video. Still, I think it's pretty cool to have this tool at my fingertips.

Eventually (I stress eventually) I want to make some videos of the paintings in progress. Major hurdles include being a control freak and not owning a camera to record the process.

Bravo! The paintings, sequencing and the music are all perfect. Great job!

Thanks, Belinda. Funny how a couple minutes of video can take an ENTIRE DAY to complete.

That was such a lovely presentation, Chris. So often, on youtube presentations, I find music choices distracting to the visuals and find myself turning the sound off....Yours was perfectly supportive. Life long and prosper, bud.....I don't know you....why am I calling you bud....(shrug :)

Thanks, Gina.

I know what you mean about the intrusive music that actually ruins the experience. I often find myself reaching for the mute button.

I enlisted my wife to help me select the music, we agreed that it had to be subtle.
