ORIOLES!

Just a few shots from the first O's game I attended this season.

Orioles 10 - White Sox 3

Rain Delay


T-Shirt Night!


I miss when there were lots of fans at the yard

Process

I decided to document the (not always pretty) painting process for my next project. I'm working on another of the Women in Corners series. For those keeping track, this is #4. This one is a little different, because the corner is implied, and there are 2 figures. Here's the progress so far.

Starting out - Grid and Charcoal Outline


2nd Layer (after a cadmium red and transparent orange underpainting)

Ramps


This weekend, my friend and I made pizza on a Saturday night. Our most successful creation (of the 3 we made) was this one with roasted garlic, olive oil, olives, sea salt, goat cheese, and ramps. This was the best pizza I ever helped to make. Hurray for ramps!

Friday Funny - Safety Video



I work in the safety industry, and there are alot of videos out there like this one. It's pretty gory, so it is not for the faint of heart (but it is all fake blood). I find it interesting that they show all of these injury scenarios, but the instructors only offer "be safe" as the solution to them.

If someone doesn't know not to weld a barrel full of explosive chemicals, I don't know if they can be helped.

Boo Teixeria

Normally, I don't like to boo players, but this guy made me sad, so boo him!

Happy opening day to the BALTIMORE ORIOLES!

GO O's!!!!
