solstice trees

I think about trees a lot.

The lungs of the planet.

The Druid in me likes to think of today as their day.

tree #1

I've painted a series of Christmas trees

 with my iPhone Pollock app.

I'll add them to the following posts.

in the key of blue

Yesterday in his blog, Casey Klahn published 

an "Ode To Blue". 

I thought I would, too.

Performed on my iPhone 

"In The Key Of Blue"

I've been diggity-dogging in the garden.

Thirsty work.

Sorting through some of

 my Pollock app paintings helps.

Ahhhh...

You may have seen some of these before,

But hey, I really needed a drink.

frustration

I need help.

All of the "paintings" I've done on my iPhone

 using my Pollock app are stored on iPhoto on my Mac.

For that matter, so are all of my photos.

Many of them are already put together as slideshows.

I'd like to upload download overload those slideshows,

preferably onto the sidebar of my blog.

I know it must be at least as simple as I am. 

I am not technologically gifted.

Hell, I'm not even technologically interested.

But I do loves my blog, your blog, all of our arty blogs.

If any of you can email assistance, boy do I need some.

I am lost in space.

Frankly, I'd rather be painting. 

  

string theory

Hey, beats me.

I just like the way it looks.

sleep-painting

Sometimes when I'm falling asleep I get the urge to paint 

and wish I could quickly slap up some color.

That's when I'm likely to grab my iPhone and

 tap on the Pollock app.

Last night, I fell asleep twice while trying to

 polish off an apple.

I found this on my phone this morning.

cello

Nancy Colella's new puppy is yellow.

So of course, her name's Limoncello.

It's a cute name for a dog,

 More Italian than nog,

And for short, they can just call her Cello.

tropic topic

I'm signing up for a Google app which will make it possible to post on samartdog from my iPhone. Could be useful when we're in Hawaii. Or anywhere! We'll see...

snowman

Four pretty inches of fresh snow today!

Not enough to build a snowman

but enough to paint one.

  

waiting

While you're waiting for me to post another painting,

I've been painting it. 

I've been taking Wolf Kahn's advice;

paint a landscape because
no one will say you're crazy if you put three legs on it.

Needless to say, I'm paraphrasing,
but not by much; it's close to a quote.
 He also says painting landscape gives us permission
to be free, to make a mess.
I'm taking him at his word.

I've also been waiting, waiting to go back to Hawaii.
In two weeks.

Here's an iPhone daydream.

dream dog

A dog's midwinter's night dream.

more good news

Hey!

Did ya hear the good news?

Pizza is a vegetable!

sunflower

What if Van Gogh had had an app?

long live the king

King Alexander 

will never let petty bureaucrats get him down.

He's rebuilding his garden.

It's now bordered by a spiffy new sidewalk. 

Long live the king.

just cuz

Here's a cheerful little so-and-so.

Just cuz.

nice night

Tonight CU is hosting USC here in Boulder.

Live on ESPN. 

So the whole world will get to see us get creamed.

Or the whole world will get to see Boulder

on a really nice night.

I recommend the latter.

iPhone Pollock app painting

P.S. Yeah, we got creamed.  42 - 17

I hate football.

 I had a hometown overcoming, is all.

But, if you were ever inclined to watch any college football,

Saturday night (6pm MST),  #1 LSU plays #2 Alabama.

Now, that'll be some football!

No allegiance here, just maybe a little bet.

Har har. 

fall color

Here comes another snowstorm.

If I were a tree, I'd run away from home.

This is in honor of the last flash of color.

h'weenie

If you were following this blog last year, 

you know that Halloween is big here.

Late last night, I got to doodling with
the Pollock app on my iPhone.

Sometimes I scare myself.

never say die

A few weeks ago, a door opened

and five good old dogs went through.

One of them was my dog Garrett's girlfriend, Sammy.

Here's the iPhone portrait I did of her.

    

He's not worried;

he's pretty sure they all went someplace good.
