Paul McCartney Rocks out at Safeco Field

I wasn't sure what I was in for when I went to the Paul McCartney "Out There" Concert last night but found out that it was one or actually the best rock and roll concerts I have ever been to!

We arrived early to have dinner at the stadium and that was great timing on our part. People were still arriving around the time the concert was suppose to start. It started late but they had music playing with pictures and art work streaming from the large projector screens. The Beattle's photographs and video clips that were shown brought back memories of long ago.

We had an awesome dinner at the stadium and a great view. Paul's crew and the Safeco stadium really worked in "harmony" to make a spectacular show entertaining and comfortable for sitting or standing over 3 hours. Paul made a point to publicly thank everyone associated with setting up and working the show!

Paul McCartney can play and sing like it was yesterday! He played songs from the Beattles, Wings and some new songs. He came back on stage several times and even surprised the crowd with a local surprise! He brought on stage former Nirvana band members to rock out with him and his band members! It excited the local Seattle crowd to see Nirvana play and Paul just hit it out of the ballpark singing a Nirvana song with them! They continued to play a few more songs together with Paul and his band.

Paul finally ended the night or should I say morning since it was well past midnight with another song and fireworks again( they didn't skimp on the fireworks - they went off several times at the end of the show).

When we bought the tickets I actually thought we paid too much but after going to the show I have to say it was money well spent to be entertained by a music legend that can still rock out after decades of playing and singing. I would recommend seeing this concert. It truly is art in the making!

Keep rocking Paul - we love you in Seattle!

My New Artwork

Eli the Crow Okay, I'm not a multi-talented artist. I just like to dabble with acrylics, watercolors, and photography. I have also been totally enthralled by the Heirloom Traditional Paint Company out of Kentucky, so much so, that I painted my kitchen cabinets myself. I have now bought enough paint to redo every piece of furniture I have. Why? It is because I love playing with colors. Maybe I never really grew up! Coloring books even made a comeback for adults in recent years. I should have thought of that idea first! I usually digitize my art and then throw it onto my gallery. I am not concerned about sales as much as having a place to put my art. I enjoy viewing it and seeing if I am making any progress in my skill set. I don't always sit and do art, or take my camera everywhere I go, so my progression is really, really slow, but then again, that really isn't my goal in my hobbies and crafts. I just like doing them. I don't need to be the best, or the greatest, or h...

How to Reproduce Your Art & Make it Digital - Part I: Scanning

Flatbed scanning of artwork Need more room for all those paintings to hang on your wall? I'm in the same boat, so when I finish a painting, I do a 300-dpi scan of it to create a digital file. Home scanners are typically good at doing this, but if your artwork is large, you must find someone with a large-format flatbed scanner or take a high-resolution photograph that isn't blurry or doesn't bow on the sides. Practice makes perfect! I try to stick with painting on canvas, boards, wood, and paper in 12x12 or smaller, and if your flatbed on your copier/scanner doesn't fit the entire artwork, you will need a program where you have several scans showing all the painting and then merge it. I use Photoshop, and it works great! If your artwork is larger and you can't make scans of all the artwork on your home printer/scanner, then there are alternative ways to do it. First, I would advise finding someone who has a business doing large format art scanning. They usually turn...
