Patrick McEnroe: Athlete-turned-author understands what matters — the fans

WASHINGTON — I’ve got to hand it to new author Patrick McEnroe, a former Grand Slam doubles champion, Davis Cup coach, and engaging commentator on ESPN. He is a celebrity who understands that without ticket, book and gear-buying fans, he would have no career: The good life he enjoys is a direct result of what people buy and watch they watch on TV.

Camera tip

For a photographer, I really don’t have that much to show for all the places I have been and lived. As much as I love working with both digital cameras and film cameras , one might expect I would have box upon box of old photos and many dozens of digital pics stored away on CDs or in my computer that are a record of each place I have lived or the highlights of my life. I don’t.

Friday’s Featured Abstract Artist: Marie Kazalia

When I first looked at California artist Marie Kazalia ‘s painting, Rainbow X, I did not see the “x” which supports and shows through the vertical swaths of color.  It wasn’t until I saw her video of the painting process that I realized how she constructed it.    Rainbow X (“We cover the earth”) mixed media on canvas, 48″ x 48″ by Marie Kazalia One of my favorites for its bold attack of paint is “Titania”:    Titania, mixed media on canvas, 30″ x 30″ by Marie Kazalia.

Using Dry Brush in Acrylic Painting on Paper

When I paint, I use whatever tools are at my disposal without thinking too much about it.  Sometimes my brush is wet, sometimes dry.  Sometimes the paint is thick, sometimes thin.  The abstract painting I did today utilizes both wet wash and dry brush .  This makes the areas with opaque paint stand out even stronger.  I finished by drawing black lines, feathering them with a dry brush.    Acrylic on paper, 24″ x 18″

Thinning Hair

Hair is considered a woman’s “crowning glory,” but women with thinning hair and those with curly, textured hair may face considerable challenges in keeping their hair looking its best. Fortunately, there are many different hair care products, or hair cosmetics, that can help conceal thinning hair and also keep textured hair in check. At the American Academy of Dermatology’s Summer Academy Meeting 2010 in Chicago, dermatologist Victoria Barbosa, MD, FAAD, assistant professor of dermatology at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, discussed how certain hair cosmetics can improve the appearance of thinning and textured hair.

Confessions of a binocular astronomer

We’ll be up north, again, this coming weekend and with the moon in a waning crescent phase, I hope to do some astronomy, either with the astronomy binoculars or telescopes , though I am typically more in the mood for the binoculars when it comes time to observe. Not sure why I tend to reach for the binoculars, first, when I have a dark, clear sky; it’s just the opposite of the majority of astronomers who head for the telescope, first. Guess I am just a binocular astronomer by nature.

Please Don’t Fall Down

When it’s summer time and you got kids running up and down the dock and getting it all wet,the last thing I need to worry about is some kid falling and getting hurt.So me and my husband went and bought these non-skid vinyl traction strips  and they work perfectly.We spaced them out throughout the dock and now it prevents the dock from getting slippery when wet.So now I don’t have to worry AS much for a kid falling down,but I still have my arms full.

What is an astronomy binocular?

What is an astronomy binocular? Contrary to some advertising claims, there really are no hard and fast rules as to what is and what is not an astronomy binocular; it’s mostly a matter of where you want to draw the line. In fact, any binocular will allow you to see more of the night sky in terms of objects and detail seen than the unaided eye

Black and Blue with Spatial Relief in Latest Painting

I began this new abstract painting on paper with black and ultramarine blue acrylic applied with a brush.  Then I filled in some of the empty spaces with titanium white, blending with the blue and black.  Next I used a wet brush to spread the blue lightly over any negative space .  Finally, I drew lines with cadmium orange, and then with black, cross-hatching some of the black lines for texture.

Book Review: Witch by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie

Witch by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie This book is supposed to be a young adult book of witches and warlocks. And while I believe that teens will find this interesting as an adult I do as well (which is why I probably like this genre so much)
