A very cute and sexy French singer named Alizee Jacotey sings a song about being “fed up” with a lot of things, called “J’en ai marre”. Which apparently means “I’m Fed Up.”  I don’t know if the translation is right, and really, does it matter? ^__^

My Paintings: Priscilla Presley
This is a photo of a painting I did of Priscilla Presley, the wife of Elvis Presley. (He was famous once, kids, Google it! ^_^) This is one of the last paintings I did before a long hiatus (20 years!), but unfortunately I seem to have slipped into another painting hiatus.

My Paintings: Lynda Carter
Here is another of the paintings I made when I was in college, many many (so many!) years ago. Â This one is also acrylic on canvas, and like all the others (which you haven’t seen yet, unless you went to my DeviantArt page!) it’s based on a photograph of Lynda Carter I saw in a TV Guide from about 1982.
What I really like about this picture is that it’s one of the very few from the time where she’s photographed while not wearing her “Wonder Woman” costume!  I have to admit I was never much of a fan of her “Wonder Woman” TV show, but I surely was a big fan of Ms. Carter!  Besides her obvious characteristics (Sexism alert! ^__^), what really drew me to this photo and to the actress herself was her eyes.  They say that “the eyes are the mirror of the soul,” but all I know is I had no trouble gazing into those beautiful eyes for hours, desparately trying to capture in pigment their appearance, their depth.  I don’t know if I did her justice, but I gave it my best shot!  My hat’s off to the anonymous (or at least uncredited) photographer for catching on film a fantastic pose, and wonderful expression.
Here is the picture, if you want to comment on it, please be kind! Â ^_^
Enjoy!
My paintings: Erin Gray
A long time ago, back in the early days just after the Earth cooled, about half-past the dinosaurs, I used to paint pictures. Â This being the dim and ancient past, these were done with acrylic pigment on actual canvas, and they took a long time each to paint. Â Mainly because there wasn’t an “undo” function. Â I wasn’t half-bad at painting these, I don’t think, but I haven’t digitized them in a long time, so I’m going to display them here on my blog, as I get to them.
This one is a painting I did of the actress Erin Gray, who at the time (the 80’s, you may have heard about it from your parents or grandparents) was starring in a TV show called “Silver Spoons”. Â She was interviewed in an edition of “TV Guide” magazine, and the article was accompanied by a very beautiful photo of Ms. Gray. Â I usually based my paintings on photographs of beautiful women as I came across them, so I don’t actually “create” the art, I pretty much copy it in a larger format, in a different medium, with whatever skill I can muster. Â Not every one works well, and I probably won’t display the ones I’m not so happy with, but then again I might inflict them upon the unwary Internet! Â (cue evil chuckle).
At any rate, this is a photo I took of the painting, with some correction for the distortion of the camera lens. Â If you like it or hate it, please comment.
Enjoy!
