Da Da Da La Da Da Da Da Feelin' Googie

For some reason, I was doing a search on Googie Architecture.  Its that futuristic style of architecture.  Don't really know it?  Think Jetsons, and you'll have it.  It was an architectural style that had its hayday in the mid to late 60's.  Anyway, there are all kinds of Googie buildings still around.  Most are now covered by historic preservation societies.

This restaurant is located in Rossmoor, California.  It is designed to look like its namesake.  Not only are the parasol ribs viewable on the outside of this round building, but on the inside as well.  Additionally, there are parasols hanging from the ceiling.  In case you are wondering, yes, I used to eat there when I live in Long Beach.  Its a cute little restaurant that I am happy to say has recently been saved from demolition and still in business today.

This painting probably means more to me than it will to anyone who views it here, but I think its great.  Enjoy.

Red, Ripe, Delicious

MMMMMMM, tomatoes.  Yesterdays were green, todays are nice an ripe.  Still working on making round objects round.  The tomatoes are a prefect test for me.  Not only are they round, but most tomatoes have some yellow, orange and red all mixed together.  So I get to see how well I can allow the paints to flow into one another. I think I did a fair job of this.  Please let me know what you think.

A Return to a Lost Time

This clock currently for sale.

 Well, I think we have been here before, or at least somewhere close.  This is a variation on the other clock that I made.  This one, obviously, has a round frame around a rectangular piece of diamond plate.  The frame and the hour and minute hands are flat black.  The last 1/2 inch of the second hand is bright red, the rest is flat black.  the picture doesn't show that off as well as I would like.

I'm almost out of material, so for those of you who don't like these works, you wont have to endure much more.  For those of you who do, don't worry, I'll be on to similar clocks soon enough.  This clock is currently for sale on Etsy.  Follow the previous link to view it.
