When learning to draw figures and things in an institution, through a book or tutoring, we come by the theory that once you learn to draw circles, triangles and squares, that you can draw anything because everything is made up of these three shapes. When I started my major project for the year, this came to mind when I tried to think of a project to begin. I wanted to take something simple, play with it’s concept and make a series. SO, here is a series of 3 drawings on canvases which are still a little under construction. Each figure is in a pose that when a drawing of which begins, an artist would most likely begin with drawing the shape! then each body part is made up of the three shapes, then the lights and darks and blending. All the things I love. / For each drawing, I used a reference photograph taken by Gillian Berry for this project :D thank you so much for the assistance Red! / chalk, charcoal and texture pain on square canvases. (not sure about the size atm. will get that tomorrow for you all) AND keep an eye on this space, these will be finished soon ready for critique in a few days.

Looking at this pile of wood, I saw two pieces that reminded me of two people gently touching each other’s hands. Touch is an important part of our lives, especially living in a fast paced society that too often values money, power and control over the simple act of touch and intimate contact. Animals primarily relate to each other through physical play that satisfies the basic need we all have to be touched, especially by a loved one. Since, we can’t talk to our dogs or cats, our feelings are communicated through touch giving us a sense of comfort and unconditional love. Molly demands her belly rub as if she is entitled to at least one a day. She sleeps in a position upside down next to my hands. When I wake up, my hand often is on her belly. Like parenting humans, some dogs need more touch than others and as parents we experience the different needs of each child. Hopefully we recognize their different needs without feeling guilty that you don’t relate to both children in the same way. The quality of what you give them, especially love and security is what is important. Human touch is essential to a thriving baby. After World War II, orphaned babies were placed in large warehouses where their basic needs were met. They were fed and bathed, but never touched or picked up to receive nurturing and “the human touch” while the wolrd just slipped away. The term anaclitic depression refers to the deep sorrow of infants that never felt the loving hands of their parents or caregiver. I remember when I was teaching in the Masters Program in college, I showed a film of these “warehouse” babies. It was a shocking sight and although they were maintained, many of thousands of infants died without physical touch. Sadly, it is not WWII, but more senseless wars leave children homeless and starving after their parents have died of Aids, starvation and numerous other fatal diseases. I recommended seeing Daniel Irwin’s photographs on rb that reflect this global crisis. Please view this in the large format. You and me we were the pretenders / And a little of that human touch / Just a little of that human touch Ain’t no mercy on the streets of this town / Ain’t no bread from heavenly skies / Ain’t nobody drawin’ wine from this blood / We let it all slip away / In the end what don’t surrender / Well the world just strips away Girl ain’t no kindness in the face of strangers / Ain’t gonna find no miracles here / Well you can wait on your blessings my darlin’ / But I got a deal for you right here I ain’t lookin’ for prayers or pity / I ain’t comin’ ‘round searchin’ for a crutch / I just want someone to talk to / It’s just you and me tonight Tell me in a world without pity / Do you think what I’m askin’s too much ? / I just want something to hold on to / And a little of that human touch / Just a little of that human touch Oh girl that feeling of safety you prize / Well it comes with a hard hard price / You can’t shut off the risk and the pain / Without losin’ the love that remains / We’re all riders on this train So you been broken and you been hurt / Show me somebody who ain’t / Yeah I know I ain’t nobody’s bargain / But hell a little touchup / And a litte paint… You might need somethin’ to hold on to / When all the answers they don’t amount to much / Somebody that you can just talk to / And a little of that human touch Baby in a world without pity / Do you think what I’m askin’s too much ? / I just want to feel you in my arms / And share a little of that human touch.

This is a very basic resizing tutorial for those wanting to enlarge work for print. Enlarging should be done PRIOR TO any other processing of your image. This contains no gaussian blur layers, no processing tips – just how to resize your images, with very simple and non-technical information. It does explain (in the simplest terms) the differences between file sizes and image size, and how to change the resolution. Those already using a method to enlarge their photos won’t get much out of this, but those just learning might find it helpful The tutorial is in a downloadable .pdf format and includes screenshots with the instructions, to make it even easier to follow.

Hiking boots, a bottle of water, and a good trail, are all the basics for an outdoor adventure in the woods. And when you discover a humble bench on the forest floor, you stop and catch your breath and admire your surroundings before you continue. / Totally functional and very comfortable… / Oka Provincial Park, Quebec CANADA / Nikon D40, May 2009
