This is a sweet little blue shed in my own yard.
We also have tall laurel hedges and evergreens, cats hanging around on dark cloudy days.
A true northwest scene. I made up the figures.
Thanks for the posting this boingboing !

Neil Rodger, Painter 1941-2013

Here is artist Neil Rodger's artist statement and I wholeheartedly agree: 

"I believe that pictures rarely benefit from commentary by the artist. In general I would say that while most good art has been extremely difficult and taxing in the making, it is a prerequisite of great art that this is not evident that it appears effortless or even inevitable." 

"Karoo Window II"

He was a great South African artist. His work is extremely soft and gentle. 

I just discovered his work today. He died last year.

Have a look at more images:

I have been busy painting all month and I will posting my finished painting soon! 

(It looks so different than the progress photo I blogged earlier.)

Meanwhile, enjoy this photo of surreal armor of the past.
