Elegua’s Magic Coconut Acrylic Painting
The featured painting is relatively new. It is one of those types of paintings that is obvious to some, but confusing to others. For those not familiar with Santeria, the coconut belongs to Elegua. He is a child saint of Santeria. He is associated with Keys, and Saint Peter. There was a lot of religious syncretism in Cuba. I first became familiar with the child saint, when I was little. My grandma had a little statuette of the fellow in the form of a mountain, with a creepy face. When she blew smoke on it, it would release a sugary...
Floral in Gold, with Blue and Red Flowers
Today, I went out a bit and got my hair done. It has been an eternity or two since I had the hair looking presentable. It is not due back for a couple of more months.

It is good for making stuff that have a bit of a metallic sheen. I like a lot those little gimmicky type of paints. I this of all of my attempts, this one...
Silly Bracelets Party 2
I am feeling a little bit hungry. Everyone is sleeping and nobody is feeding me, including myself. The party was somewhat mellowed out. I tried the game Love Nikki. I first loved playing it every second, and then I never wanted to play it again. The main issue was the pop up think encouraging you to use up money. If you are too aggressive about it gets annoying and I don’t have a lot of cash to waste on pixilated merchandize. The idea of it was cute and all that, but the delivery was a bit iffy. It seemed like...
Johann Peter HASENCLEVER And Other Painters Art Video
There is really nothing much to say about this or that. I made these videos for my own amusement. I hope you find them quite amusing indeed. They just feature the works of painters.
