But I think I might have broken this log-jam. Today I ran across an 80s metal band Banshee and downloaded their old albums from Amazon.com. I also ran across some leftover stock of Art Spectrum Colourfix Coated Pastel Paper that I'd forgotten about. I bought in originally to use for pastels, but I think it will make a nice surface for my current work.<br /><br />Hopefully I'll have some new work to post by the end of the week.!Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416663599822369077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956220965835266797.post-35099049598682553692009-10-13T18:40:00.002-04:002009-10-13T18:44:52.731-04:00Blurs Of Motion - Inspired By Firewind<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/6960/blursofmotion.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/6960/blursofmotion.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />12" X 18" Acrylic and Cut Paper on Watercolor Paper<br /><br />I created this piece while listening to the album "Allegiance" by the Greek Power Metal band Firewind.
