Cheesecake Factory Revisited Review Foodie Weekend
This weekend we went to the Cheesecake Factory in Dadeland Mall. We wanted to get mother her Mother’s Day present early. So, we figured that we might as well eat in one of our favorite restaurants. It had been a bit of a while since last we visited. By removing alcoholic drinks, it didn’t make it to the 200 bucks. The food there is something that we would consider a tad expensive. It is a good thing that we do not eat out so often. We like to reserve it for at least once a week. If we don’t get...
Six Pouring Paintings Abstract Acrylic Art
Today, I wanted to show you my latest pouring paintings. I took two photographs of these paintings. One of the photos features the painting wet, and the other dry. The first photographs show the dry paintings. They are the finished version of my artworks. I frankly like better the paintings when they are wet. Acrylics always tend to dry in darker hues. So, it is always better to work with bright colors. They will eventually turn darker once the paint dries. I am almost out of pouring paints. I haven’t bought any acrylics in a while. I also used...
Game Review: Mafia II, Star Wars Force Unleashed 2, Radiata Stories
Mafia II Xbox 360 Game Review I thought I would continue with my game reviews. I am so closed to being up to date with all my game reviews. Once I am done with this little list I can focus on the future. Well, the Mafia game was pretty peachy. I had downloaded it into my X Box 360. The only problem with the game was that I got bored after playing all it the way through, trice. Then again, I never liked first person shooter games. Needless to say, Mafia II is the second part of the first of...
Hollow Knight Animal Crossing Parody
Today, I got around to finishing my new Hollow Knight parody. It features a crossover with Animal Crossing. The Collector went to the Animal Crossing Museum to show Blathers his latest catch. The problem is that Blathers is afraid of bugs. The Collector is quite enthusiastic about his collection, so he is just shoving that Grub right into Blathers’s face. There is a bug preserve in the Animal Crossing Museum. I feel that the Collector would thrive in the Animal Crossing world. Most of the things that you do there is collect stuff. In his back, the Collector is carrying...
Butterflies on Mexican Sunflowers Watercolor Paintings
I did two watercolor paintings featuring Mexican Sunflowers. These little sunflowers attract a bunch of different butterflies to my garden. I reworked two photographs into the paintings you see above. The first shows the Sunflower in full bloom. The second painting shows that even a withered flower still attracts butterflies. In fact, the withered flower had more butterflies than the fresh flower. I do not know what that is all about. The first butterfly I think it might be a Tiger Swallow Tail Butterfly. It is a male one to be more specific about it. The three other butterflies are...
