The Song of the Lark
The Song of the Lark is one of them paintings that creepes i into your mind and stays there. It was painted by Jules Breton back in 1884. He was from France and did a lot of art about peasants, mostly ladies, mostly in fields. This one fits the pattern. It’s a girl, standing in the middle of a wheat or maybe barley field. She’s got a simple outfit, a tool in her hand, and she's looking up at something you can’t even see. That something is the lark. There’s no bird in sight, but the title says it’s there,...

Aliens in Video Games
The first one I wanted to talk about are the katamari aliens. They are chaotic neutral. The larva are usually running about in planet Earth fooling about. The bigger ones like the King are more dangerous. They may act benign at times, but then he orders the prince to block a meteor with all the countries of the world. The earth is saved but all the humans die or something. In the Alien games, the Xenomorph is mostly programmed to multiply itself. It weirdly reacts to what it perceives as a treat or potential food. In Stranded Alien Dawn, the...
Resin Glitter Craft Art and Clay
I made some new Resin craft. I used up most of the resin I had to make these little works of art. I need to stir them a lot to make certain that they cure just about right. This is easier said than done. It is a learning progress. I hope that this artwork makes you smile. I also made some clay stuff. I used oven bake clay. The oven was able to get them to harden after half an hour or so. I hope that it makes you smile. There are some video of these artworks in my Artsy...
