"Winter's Solitude" by Randy Earles

2011-03-30T16:12:00.000-05:00

"Winter's Solitude"

As much as I love technology and gadgets there is something very appealing to getting away from it all now and then. I think sometimes a person needs a bit of isolation to clear out the everyday noise that builds up over time. It also allows a person to really reflect on themselves and their life. That is how my latest artwork came about. I wanted to do another cabin winter scene that played around with the idea of solitude. Kind of a person in tune with nature theme. The solitude I refer to for this piece is aimed basically towards society and modern life. A chance to tune all of that out for a brief moment in time.
There is a nice soft warm glow coming from the cabin windows keeping the cold winter night at bay. There are no interstates, highways, or roads leading to this spot. The only trail is the one you forge yourself with the help of your loyal companions leading the way through the woods. After a long day of trail breaking and a hearty meal as a reward the team is bedded down on piles of hay for the night. Inside a roaring fire in the fireplace warms the cabin and its occupant. The quiet isolation of the surroundings and the night allows for a time to be at one with your thoughts without any other interference. A good opportunity to take time for yourself.

Making some major progress with the online store. Still have a ways to go, did not realize how much was involved in something like this.

2011-02-18T13:47:00.001-06:00

My new website is now online and live. Still have some more things to work on but its getting there. http://ping.fm/Fe7UA

Up to my eyeballs in artwork and loving it. Got some Joe Bonamassa cranked for good measure.

2011-02-10T15:56:00.001-06:00

I actually had a guy get teary eyed viewing my artwork today. Never thought that would happen.

Frosty the Snowman sounds like a cute name, until you realize he's a hitman for the North Pole Mob. You DONT want to be on the naughty list.

"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is kind of a rude song. Get your own figgy pudding. Then you threaten not to leave unless ya get some? RUDE

Almost have my voice back and feeling better. Time to get some stuff done this weekend. Art, music, cleaning, and web design in the works.

2010-12-04T16:12:00.001-06:00

Listening to Christmas music, working on some art, and sketching out some website redesign ideas I want to implement. It's a good day!

2010-12-03T16:07:00.001-06:00

Still working on a winter scene although as much cold medicine as I am on it might end up looking like a Jimi Hendrix poster.

2010-12-02T05:54:00.001-06:00

Nasty head cold. I sound (and look) like Darth Vader with his helmet off. whhhheeeeeeeezzzzz khhhhuuurrr whhhheeeeeeeezzzzz khhhhuuurrr

Why would I want a partridge in a pear tree? Ginger would eat the bird and I dont like pears. Better yet, money. A money tree sounds better!

2010-11-24T14:58:00.001-06:00

Ready for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. Will be busy working on the new winter art piece next 4 days. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

2010-11-23T19:15:00.001-06:00

Working on a scene involving a snowy owl. The more I study owls the more I am fascinated by them. Still listening to Christmas music too :)

Four of my images are featured in the Somerset Licensing email newsletter for November. Very excited by that.

2010-10-13T17:02:00.001-05:00

About half way done with the new art piece. Going to squeeze in the website overhaul after that before I start another project.

2010-08-31T20:08:00.000-05:00

Been away from here too long, need to get back to this blogging thing! Right now working on a complete redesign of my website and some new artwork.

2010-07-10T11:38:00.001-05:00

Ok time to get back to working on some new art. Lots of ideas just need to pick one and start. Harder than it sounds.

2010-06-06T13:46:00.001-05:00

I had people from Bosnia and Romania on my website today. I find that amazing that the internet makes the world smaller in some sense.

2010-05-30T15:34:00.001-05:00

Everyone have a great Memorial Day weekend and remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. It's not about BBQ's and time off from work.

2010-05-28T16:53:00.001-05:00

Five day weekend is here, time to work on some new artwork!

Anyone know where I can get one of those old Dekalb "flying corn" metal signs? I want one. I also want to put one in a painting.

2010-04-25T11:54:00.001-05:00

I should be working on art today but this rainy cool weather makes me want to veg out instead.

New territory

Well this is something different. Just signed up here and checking things out. Seems to be pretty cool so far. I am trying to get the word out about my art work and my passion for art. So, I thought besides Facebook, Twitter, and my own website I would try this as well as a different opportunity to express myself....or my ramblings.
