Posted on January 27, 2022 by Alli Farkas

The second decision

Posted on January 18, 2022 by Alli Farkas

After a spell of uncertainty I managed to come up with a plan for my second move. This is it. It will not be final. There will be at least a third iteration, maybe more. But for now, feel free … Continue reading →

One decision has been made

Posted on January 7, 2022 by Alli Farkas

Well, at least one decision. A skajillion more are likely. But I’m thinking in this case less may be more. I like this first pass, and I have plans for one or two more, but I will do my best … Continue reading →

The indecisive background

Posted on January 6, 2022 by Alli Farkas

This background for Sky Pads 34 was poured on the same day as the one for Sky Pads 33. I don’t remember what day that was, but it was a long time ago. At least sometime before October of last … Continue reading →

Posted on December 12, 2021 by Alli Farkas

I guess the end of 2021 will be featuring titles starting with “Finally”. Anyhow, here at last is the complete Sky Pads 33 version. It seems like today is a day where nothing can go right, electronically speaking. I meant … Continue reading →

Sky Pads 33 part 2

Posted on November 1, 2021 by Alli Farkas

A slightly different approach

Posted on October 24, 2021 by Alli Farkas

This one has been sitting around with its background done for quite a while, amid various vague promises from me that I would be doing something with it soon. So yeah, it’s got the early stages of subject matter started. … Continue reading →

33 cued up, with a postscript on 32

Posted on October 4, 2021 by Alli Farkas

I went ahead and posted an “inaccurate color” photo of Sky Pads 32 yesterday because I was in a hurry to finally get it out there. I loved the fake gold-orange tones (created by bad lighting) floating down from the … Continue reading →

New record for longest time to complete a painting

Posted on October 3, 2021 by Alli Farkas

Sky Pads 32! It only took a little over half a year to finish 😯. Can’t blame my commission for Menemsha Harbor for that—it was only about a 2-month interruption. Pandemic delay??!! Covid fatigue??!! Paint shortage??!! Take your pick—I’ll go … Continue reading →
