Hope everyone had a nice 4th of July! Here are my photos!

I was at Coulon Park, Bellevue Park, Alki Beach and then back to Coulon Park for fireworks.

New Doodle,…"Happy To See You"...

Have a happy 4th of July!

3rd of July 2010

These are photos from the 3rd of July 2010. I took these on the 3rd because the forecast was for rain on the 4th and sure enough the 4th was a total rain out, but the 3rd was beautiful.
We've had a terribly cold and dark summer in the Seattle area. Summer is more than half way over and we haven't had more that a week of sun. I'm hoping the rest of summer comes through for us. If I can fly down to the sun all winter maybe it will be ok!
Sucky summer!!!

See you next post!

New Friday Abstract

This is one of three versions that I did. I like this one the best but the others are fun as well. I may post them soon. I hope you like this version though and go see my Abstract Art Show at the Starbuck's in Fremont,... just north, over the ship canal bridge from down town Seattle. It runs till the end of July and there is a price list on the last wall.
See you next post!

Bel Mar Abstract!

I started the idea for this at the restaurant Bel Mar in Ballard on Sunday during a lite dinner. Finished it off today! It seemed to look a bit like a bug to me so I named it the Bel Mar Bug. I'm sure they won't be happy about that but who knows if they will ever see it.
Saw "Public Enemy" last night with my friend Anne. Terrific flick although it could have been shorter and not so redundant. Usual Michael Mann type of story. The stylizing was awesome. A great looking piece of film!
Also woke up to January like weather here in the PNW!! Not good for July! Usually we have sun and warmth,... which I would like it to return to by the end of this week at the latest!
Hope all is well. See you next post!

Playground,... New Sunday Abstract...

Another new Abstract to add to the collection. This as well as all the others can be purchased on http://MikeCressy.imagekind.com/
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! I know I did. Partied on a boat and a few houseboats on Lake Union in Seattle. Food, Drink, fireworks and lovely women... what more is there?
See you next posting!

New Monday Abstract!

I actually did this last week, but what the hell. I thought it looked a bit like fireworks in the sky and thought it appropriate for the 4th of July this week! And it's available for sale on http://MikeCressy.imagekind.com/...
Goodbye June,... hello July!

Another NEW painting!

A blast from the past in a way. I actually finished this painting in March of this year but haven't shown it yet.
This was done from a sketchbook page dating back to July of 2006. Holly and I were at a park in Bellevue on the 4th taking it easy and enjoying the day with a picnic. I brought my sketchbook and she brought a book to read. When I was almost finished with the sketch I asked her what she thought and she said, "Can you put a little white scoty dog in one of the squares?" I did just that and promised her that if I ever made a painting of this that I would include the little white dog. And there it is the lower right corner.
