Having Fun with Adobe Illustrator AI



 I was playing around with Adobe Illustrator, when I discovered the ability to create new vector art based on a sample style I could define.  So I asked the program to create a scary shark based on an old watercolor painting I did called "At the Beach."  The result is above.  It could be a great logo for a line of surfer apparel.

A Day at Bondi Beach - video


Spent some quality time at Bondi Beach in Australia in October and spent the day taking photographs.  This one added a soundtrack of me playing Satie (not very well) with the addition of various other sound effects to tie in with the action onscreen.  I've done another one uploaded to Vimeo (vimeo.com/user1980254/)
which has a different soundtrack.  Let me know which you prefer.

Hot Days at the Beach in Marin County


During prior heat waves it made sense to escape the temperature by driving to the beach.  A search of my beach photos led me to hot days at the beach in 2017 and 2021.  But the 6 days in September, where the temperature exceeded 100 degrees for 6 consecutive days, was too much.  The only way to survive without air conditioning was to just lay around the house with the fan on.

Playing in the Surf Part Deux


 Another new oil painting.  This one oil on linen 10x8.  I finally painted in the water.  


Another take on a photo taken by E.A. Autrey in 1960 (see below), juxtaposed with a more recent beach photo taken by me at South Beach in Pt. Reyes National seashore

Playing in the Surf


 I've only painted the figure so far (below) 8x10 oil on canvas.  What I intended to paint (above)


Questions:

1.  Should I paint in the waves?

2.  Are her fingers too weirdly long?

A Breath of Fresh Air

In order to successfully combat malignant political forces, one must occasionally take a break to retool.
