October 2014 Art
It's not fall leaves, it's not cloudy days. I'm still thinking about summer and decided to do a few paintings that will help to keep it around for another few weeks!
These pieces were inspired by the microscopic coatings used on silicon wafers.

Artist Secrets Series: Using (legal) images from the web as inspiration for your artwork.
Understanding how to make use of the millions of Creative Commons Images as inspiration for your artwork.
When painting in the studio, there are many situations that I find myself needing several images to help in making one painting. Often I have an image that I have taken myself but want to add elements that aren't in the original photo. When this happens, I turn to Creative Commons images.
To take advantage of the millions of images available I use a Google search engine to filter and show only these images.
- Navigate to www.google.com and type in a search such as "gargoyles"
- In the results of your search, click on the "Images" text at the top of the page. This will show you only images.
- On the far right of the area where you choose "Images" click on "Search Tools". This will bring up another menu below the first.
- Look for the "Usage rights" option and click the arrow to its right.
- In the dropdown menu choose "Labeled for Noncommercial reuse with modification"
These images can be used as models without infringing on anyones rights.

Here's Why you Must Continue to Create Art
This idea came from a TED talk where Adam Savage talks about the Maltese Falcon statue.
