The Power of Resting Bitch Face
Resting Bitch Face is in order in the street and on the subway. I hate being told to smile like I’m some kind of doll. If you want to see a smile go look in the mirror and smile at yourself. I owe you nothing because I’m not your friend.
The walk from my apartment in Washington Heights to my junior high school was no longer than 15 minutes. Yet, every morning I would have to go to the building across from me and wait for this tardy girl so that I could walk to school with her. I don’t remember having any conversations with her, because we were completely different people. I hung out with the skaters and she hung out with the hood rats. All I remember is that her apartment smelled of vapor rub, old magazines and slow death.
Fun fact: From the age of 25 the number of newly formed cells in your body is less than the number of cells that die and every year the dissimilarity grows (much like the economic disparity in America). No need to fret, just start a revolution and moisturize… #themoreyouknow
Anyhow, I kept telling my parents how insufferable this…

Okay Folks, I was able to find two Fan Brushes in the basement therefore this Waterfall attempt might be somewhat better. As you can see I’ve added tiny nighttime photos to the first one. The photos have saved the painting giving the effect of cascading along the waterfall.
I do realize that these paintings are Wonky but one has to start somewhere. Personally I’ve always enjoyed the simplicity and directness of Folk Art and self taught artists.
On the second one (without photos but two waterspouts on either side of the Waterfall), that I just started you can see that I used the Fan Brush with much better effects. Must improve my wrist action. I will never be the next Monet but I’m enjoying the experiment. My goal is to take my Mixed Media Photography to New Levels.
I’ve nowhere near the expertise of Bob Davies or Darrell Crow
However I will keep trying. Gives me a fun indoor activity to do during these cold winter days. Eventually I will advance to the Midnight Moon River phase with Lady Jane ~ Painting with Jane

This is what I’m doing on this cold, rainy, snowy freezing day while I’m on vacation. As you can see my efforts have not reached the level of Mr. Darrell Crow. I’ve been listening to Mr. Crow’s videos for just a little while so I decided to attempt a waterfall. Mine looks like something out of an abstract avant garde surrealist expressionist nightmare!
My Splash is more like a KerPlunk! My waterfall will never be mistaken for Niagara Falls! 😀😁😂🤣😃😄😅😆😉😎🤓🤔 I shall not add the rocks as mine would look like the Loch Ness monster arising from the depths! LOL!!
Plus I do not have a Fan brush but my room-mate has generously granted me use of his brushes so I tried spreading on the bristles on one of the wider brushes. My Palette is an old paper plate. Talk about improvising! I do have my handy dandy spray bottle.
However sparkles and glitter cover a multitude of errors!
Mr. Crow has Painting Series on both Acrylics and Oils. I have Oil paints but they take way too long to dry. I prefer Acrylics. I will keep working on this painting however I don’t want to use up all my canvasses as I need to save some for when Stephen arrives for his 57th Birthday Celebration in May. I’m sure Stephen has got to be better at this than poor sister! Ha! Ha!
Anyway feel free to laugh at mine and enjoy the expertise and country humor of Mr. Darrell Crow.
Back to the Drawing Board. Literally!
