Saturday Night's alright for painting

A couple of years ago, hell probably a year ago, I probably would have felt like a dummy for staying in on a Saturday night to paint and watch kitten YouTube videos. Times have changed and I cherish my time spent alone and well, after last night's epic NYE party I welcome this night of getting things taken care of wholeheartedly.
Picture above is my often cluttered work space, a piece for Portland's Compound Gallery group show "Blazer Mania" showcasing different artists rendition of "Blaze" the trail cat, the Portland Trail Blazer's NBA mascot. I've been a big basketball fan for a while and since Seattle no longer has a team (tears) my nearest team is the Blazers. Image of this piece to follow!

Blazer Mania opens Thursday January 6th, 2011.

  5. Those are the only people that you would find within the grounds of Yoxley Old Place. At the same time, the gate of the garden is a hundred yards from the main London to Chatham road. It opens with a latch, and there is nothing to prevent anyone from walking in.

    "Now I will give you the evidence of Susan Tarlton, who is the only person who can say anything positive about the matter. It was in the forenoon, between eleven and twelve. She was engaged at the moment in hanging some curtains in the upstairs front bedroom. Professor Coram was still in bed, for when the weather is bad he seldom rises before midday. The housekeeper was busied with some work in the back of the house. Willoughby Smith had been in his bedroom, which he uses as a sitting-room, but the maid heard him at that moment pass along the passage and descend to the study immediately below her. She did not see him, but she says that she could not be mistaken in his quick, firm tread.

  6. And he went leaping down the stairs, as other doors opened and Lord Amersteth and his son appeared simultaneously in their pyjamas. At that my man ceased struggling; but I was still holding him when Crowley turned up the gas.

    "What the devil's all this?" asked Lord Amersteth, blinking. "Who was that ran downstairs?"

    "Mac - Clephane!" said I hastily.

  7. The announcement, cited by the White House as the "first US government strategy to combat human rights abuses against gays and lesbians abroad", is also being seen as part of the Obama administration's outreach to gays and lesbians ahead of the 2012 election.

    The official memorandum does not outline consequences for countries with poor records on gay rights. But it allows US agencies working abroad to consult with international organisations on discrimination.

    "Gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world," Mrs Clinton said in Geneva. "Being gay is not a Western invention. It is a human reality."

  8. All very fine, Mr. Holmes," said he. "But there is one little flaw in your splendid theory. I was myself in my room, and I never left it during the day."

    "I am aware of that, Professor Coram."

    "And you mean to say that I could lie upon that bed and not be aware that a woman had entered my room?"

    "I never said so. You WERE aware of it. You spoke with her. You recognized her. You aided her to escape."

  9. “Well … when we were in our first year, Harry — young, care¬free, and innocent —”
    Harry snorted. He doubted whether Fred and George had ever been innocent.
    “— well, more innocent than we are now — we got into a spot of bother with Filch.”
    “We let off a Dungbomb in the corridor and it upset him for some reason —”
    “So he hauled us off to his office and started threatening us with the usual —”
    “— detention —”
    “— disembowelment —”
    “— and we couldn’t help noticing a drawer in one of his filing cabinets marked Confiscated and Highly Dangerous.”
    “Don’t tell me —” said Harry, starting to grin.
    “Well, what would you’ve done?” said Fred. “George caused a diversion by dropping another Dungbomb, I whipped the drawer open, and grabbed — this.”
    “It’s not as bad as it sounds, you know,” said George. “We don’t reckon Filch ever found out how to work it. He probably suspected what it was, though, or he wouldn’t have confiscated it.”
    “And you know how to work it?”

    "The falling leaves, drift by my windows.
    The Autumn leaves of red and gold.
    I see your lips, the Summer kisses,
    the sunburned hands I used to hold.
    Since you went away, the days grow long.
    And soon I hear Old Winter song.
    But I miss you most of all, my darling,
    when the Autumn leaves start to fall.."

    Obama served three terms representing the 13th district in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid against the Democratic incumbent for a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2000, he ran for United States Senate in 2004. Several events brought him to national attention during the campaign, including his victory in the March 2004 Democratic primary and his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004

    Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi is an association football player who currently plays for FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team as a forward or winger. Considered one of the best football players of his generation, Messi received several Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations by the age of 21, and won in 2009 and 2010. His playing style and ability have drawn comparisons to Diego Maradona, who himself declared Messi as his "successor".

  24. All French heavy cavalry regiments were actually "regiments of Horse" and all of them wore iron cuirasses underneath their coats. The dragoons were light cavalry employed for scouting and did not wear cuirasses, ditto for hussars. Only the Cuirassiers du Roi wore front and back plates outside of the coats.
