For post hoc reasons, this post is masquerading as Project 9. I am currently mid hoc. And the annual Advent Window parade is on its way. This is a whole-lane enterprise with as many of us as possible putting up … Continue reading Advent time, Pepperscoombers!
This is a painting from an earlier module. I’d made a rather dramatic video as its AR overlay but, after talking in a tutorial about the use of text in art, I thought I might substitute the apocalypse for a very simple title and signature. The video is made in PowerDirector, the greenscreen titles in PaintshopPro. The AR is live via #Artivive. You can find the painting in my Artsteps Strayfish gallery https://www.artsteps.com/view/63cc3569c0a4cb48a02c254e SCH 2024 Continue reading Titling a painting
Project 9 (subject to change) 22nd August. The up-garden angled landscape. My aim here is to paint the ‘back’ of the painting, this time going from dark to light as if the image were in such full, bright sunlight that … Continue reading Bottom to top/Exposure
Following an invitation to exhibit at Xaraz gallery in Second Life (SL), I was invited to speak at another, the Grove Country Club, about my work, with an emphasis on the application of augmented reality (AR). Artivive relies on static … Continue reading AR in VR – a talk about using Artivive’s Augmented Reality app in Second Life

I’ve always cropped and tidied up my AR targets but this time I’d given away as a gift the actual painting and only had a photo with some paper surround to work with. So I cropped it and uploaded it to iCloud but, mysteriously, MotionLeap couldn’t access it. The upshot is that the AR includes the surround and guess what – the AR moves into that area giving an impression of 3D! SCH 2024 Continue reading Another of those ‘happy accidents’!
Based on my own photo, the first of these are an attempt to paint thin and light. It didn’t last long. Where some people have this along with ‘smooth and barely present’, I’m happiest with trowelling it on and working … Continue reading 3.2 Project 7: Frog Fall
This is a village and when the village says it’s doing Halloween, it’s doing Halloween no matter the rain hammering down over it! My contribution, meant to be a remote affair, was an A1 painting of a pumpkin with orange … Continue reading Halloween
I am delighted to launch this exhibition; Explorations in Drawing, Painting, Mixed Media, and Technology; at The Best Little Virtual Gallery hosted by Artsteps. As a peer critique group, we have been meeting monthly on Zoom to present and discuss … Continue reading Best Little Virtual Gallery
