Salmon and Rice

Last night I cooked Salmon with rice including spicy cajun sauce and olive oil. I used a fair amount of olive oil in the pan and was liberal with the cajun spice both below and above on the fish, also when peeled and switched.

At a certain point the skin is easy to just peel off. If you try to peel it at any time during cooking and it's being stubborn, come back in a few minutes. The fish will peel easily and then you can flip it for a few more minutes of finishing.

It helps to keep some vegetable and olive oil on hand. Always season the pan for about 10 minutes before cooking. 

After this I added tomatoes and green chilis and brought it back to a boil. At that point I brought it to a 20 minute simmer and added more cajun. Salmon and rice all done. Next time I will take more pictures of the finished product and share it again. 

Happy Friday - Digital Cactus and Moon

Here is the weekend, and I wish a happy Friday to all.  Something for you to enjoy while I'm waiting for my video to encode. Unfortunately I'm recovering from an injury. Yay, always fun when something creeps up midweek out of the blue. Still staying creative with the music and finishing up projects. I have a new video that I'll post later today once it's done encoding. 

I'll start by sharing a digital painting water color, mixed with a tiny bit of oils. I can't remember from months ago yet I believe it's called Digital Cactus.

 Lately I've been blocking in my compositions with a drafting pencil and it's yielded better results. Enjoy your spring weekend in 2014 and shouts.

Glow Moon 19

I've tried all sorts of different things with the Glow Moon series. Here is another variation. 

Mid week round up

Glow Moons 

It's impossible to know where this idea came from originally. I started with a stretched nurb and some polygon smoothed cylinders. After that I duplicated some forms. The real fun for me is in the textures which constantly seem to be changing with each composition.

I truly enjoy the experience making glow moon comps and enjoy sharing them.

Tunes: this week was fun, enjoyed sharing the new music from +Sodacon 

I also had the chance to finish a new track for the Moment by Momenty project called Weekend

Glow Moon 17 Painted 3d Render

Had a tiny bit of free time and put some energy into Glow Moon 18. I'm starting to think of it as more of an island, and it goes through it's seasonal changes. A painted 3d render.

Newly designed Glow Moon


This morning I found a new render of Glow Moon. Adjusted color and shadow and here is the result. The middle section gave a surprising effect, with the slope side of the mountain with a dark to light spectrum of blue.

Iris Art March 23rd Sunday Shout

Purple Iris Digital Painting

Spring time is here again and I look forward to getting outside and seeing all the purdy flowers. I also can't wait to break out a few gardening tools and try my hand at planting some vegetables. Sending out a shout today. I've included a few digital paintings of iris's in my yard. These were the ones that I shared with +The American Iris Society. I'm looking forward to this years paintings.

This last one isn't an iris yet I figured I'd add it for effect. I have additional techniques I can
try for this years spring paintings and I look forward to posting them.
