Since "retirement" and "painting on the beach" have come up on the list, here are a few of my paintings done on a recent trip to Block Island, RI. Up at 6 a.m. - take a walk - become inspired - paint! Retirement is not on my bucket list.

Proving to be both varied and fascinating, moons are far more common than planets in our Solar System. Our own Moon has had a profound influence on Earth, not only through tidal effects, but even on the behaviour of some marine animals. But how much do we really know about moons?
The post 10 facts you should know about moons appeared first on OUPblog.

I've painted many creatures that are black and white...cows, skunks, penguins and a giant Manta Ray!

For three years, Lyric Walker has behaved like a model citizen - in school, at home, everywhere. The wild thing she used to be cannot come out. Her home town of Coney Island has become a refugee camp for a strange race of sentient sea creatures. The hatred and mistrust between humans and these aliens - the Alpha - grows to a fever pitch when the president demands that Alpha children enter New York's public schools.
Lyric's school is first.
But Lyric and her parents have a secret that may kill them. When Lyric is forced to befriend the Alpha prince, Fathom, things become confusing all too quickly. He is untamed - as are all the Alpha - with a sense of honor that demands quick and violent retribution for the smallest of slights. Lyric only agrees to help Fathom adjust to humans when escape from the area is offered to her for parents as well as herself.
The government, itself, is split between the locals who hate and want to exterminate these interlopers and the federal government that views them as possible allies.
A subplot about Lyric's best friend's abusive step-father, and that best friend's boy friend add pathos to an otherwise action adventure sci-fi novel.
Things start out uncomfortably in this book and quickly become ugly and then uglier. Hate and what it motivates people to do is never a pretty sight.
Things I liked best about this book:
1. Cool battle scenes.
2. Lyric and Bex, her best friend.
3. Lyric's migraines turn into something significant.
4. The trial scene - wow, that was so awesome!
5. Governmental wrangling. Don't totally trust them!! Conspiracy theorists, unite!
Possible Spoiler Alert!!
I expected an underlying theme to be the warming of the oceans. I thought that was the reason these people were forced onto land. That may crop up in subsequent titles in this series - because Fathom, Lyric, Bex and all the others will return. But the reason the Alpha left the sea is pretty freaky and scary.

This remains one of my all time favorite illustrations. Not so much for the technical aspect but I feel I captured the love of mother and calf when they are reunited in the story. I love illustrations, by any artist, that go beyond the words and capture the feeling.

sapphire blue, to be exact.
working on Iris, September's mermaid this week. still slowly recovering from c spine surgery so i can't paint as quickly or as much as i'd like.
the nervous system never ceases to amaze me. especially how neck surgeries affect your arm and your hand. i guess that's why those neurosurgeons get paid the big bucks! they certainly deserve it! amazing how all that stuff works...
hoping to have beautiful little Iris done soon! :)

Thanks, Elena.
Hi Karen and Antonio, thank you.
Awesome!
What class(es) are you taking (or teaching?), Allen?
Teaching. The class was Drawing Fundamentals, now it’ s Art Fundamentals as I’ve added painting to the curriculum.
Looks like a great place. If it was yours, would you continue the coat rental?
That’s funny. If it were mine it’d take a moment to consider. The view is spectacular. My daughter asked me about the coat too.
Hi Natalia and Noir33, thank you.
Hi Renata, thank you.
Thank you, Izms of Art.
this one’s awesome Allen! Evokes hedonistic impulses in me!
