This is my first effort. I drew it while looking at a picture of my uncle Jene, who was a WWII navy fighter pilot who died when his plane crashed after taking off the ship. He was my father&#8217;s twin brother and my brother Jene is named after him. It was fun to work on black drawing paper because it forced me to think in the opposite way I am used to thinking about the use of light and dark spaces on the page. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/sutospeak\/pic\/001c9cee\/\"><\/a><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Uncle Jene\" width=\"169\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/sutospeak\/pic\/001da0gg\/s320x240\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- End of Posted pictures --><br \/>I also did a couple more small landscape series, which may be viewed by following this link:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/sutospeak\/gallery\/0003xyeg\">http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/sutospeak\/gallery\/0003xyeg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So far in this past week, I have finished 21 pieces, which is more than I usually do. Some of them I like and some of them I think are&nbsp;rather putrid; but, it feels good to be pumping the creative well.&nbsp; This week is the commencement of the traveling journal round robin on Paper Traders. So, for the next year, I should be facing some new challenges on the artistic front. There are 12 participants and we have a month with each journal before we have to ship it on to the next person. It is one thing to work on a piece of my own as I can trash it if I want to do so. It is another matter to work in something that belongs to another person. Hopefully it will be more fun than stressful.&nbsp; I guess I will find out soon enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to join a swap on ATCards.com in which we are to make 3 cards and restrict ourselves&nbsp;to using &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/swap-entry-other-things\/\">Continue reading &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
