Painting by Numbers
I am getting back into developing my art.
And have been doing some drawing,
at the same time identifying what the colours are
and numbering them
and the areas on the drawing
where they are.



(The numbers are there, but they're in pencil and hard to see)

I'm also starting to do a few exercises to build up my understanding of Art Theory.
This includes "painting by numbers" !

Solar Eclipse at Darwin 14-11-2012

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

(Moved from Dochas Books Film)

Video - Solar Eclipse (80%) 14-11-2012 etc.

Here is a photo that I took this morning, at dawn, at Darwin NT Australia, of the solar eclipse. It was an 80% eclipse here. Before dawn, the sky at first light was as normal, then for about quarter of an hour it went a dusky brown / purple, as the shadow of the moon crossed over. Then a short while later, the sun began to rise and the shape of the moon could be seen across it.

Screenplay Format - Introduction

 

In 2018, I was a member of the library 

at AFTRS, 

(Australian Film, Television

and Radio School),

in the Entertainment Precinct,

Moore Park, Sydney, Australia.

In the library,

are copies of many screenplays,

and I was able to study the format,

that is required in the film industry.

Such that, I used this as a basis to 

write the adapted screenplay

for Judy Nunn's book, "Khaki Town".

I'm happy to share with you all, the format that is in this screenplay, in following posts  :)

If you want to write a screenplay, this would be a good place to start  :) 

This will only be a look at the technical format, though. Understanding your story is a whole other 

area !!

Thinking about you all, out there  -  Katherine

Poem - "Ode to the Daffodil"

 

Ode to the Daffodil

We journey onwards,

Dusty road stretches,

Wearily, into the distance,

Many miles to go.

Click of horses' hooves,

Creak of wood and leather.

Swaying ......

Pots clinking.

A word here or there.

A snort from the mare behind,

heavily in foal.

The orchestra of the road.

Dozing, rocked to sleep ......

"Wake up, wake up,

take a look, see !"

Vasyielyi cries, excitedly.

Out the window,

A swathe of yellow sea.

"Stop the wagon !" Mama calls,

landing lightly on her feet.

Scrambling, tumbling out,

Running free, happily,

Into the field of yellow flowers.

Fingers trailing behind,

Through the green and gold.

Turning, turning,

Feeling joyful.

Smell that smell.

Beauty, sent from heaven.

"Pick some, pick some," Mama calls,

Grabbing this one, that one,

Round about.

Salve for the soul.

                                                               Ours to keep.

                                                               Our Delight.

Poem - "Resplendent Moon"

Resplendent Moon

Resplendent Moon,

High in the Sky,

What is it like,

To be Nigh?

Amongst the Stars,

Round and Gold,

Anything but Cold.
