3D Photo of application for Promotion at Syracuse U. 2 copies

Hey, it's done. Can you believe any human being would do this to themselves?
9.5 inches of paper. I wiped out a small forest in Canada to complete this application for promotion
to full professor. NOW, AREN'T YOU PROUD OF YOURSELF... ROGER? You probably killed Bambi too.

Ah, ha! I found them...R.O.U.S. Rodents of unusual size.

I was working in the fireswamp the other day, and this guy sidled up to me. It's the first time I've seen one in person.
I never expected the Tux and bow tie. THEY do EXIST, so, there.

End of the Season, Entrance to Rogerland

It's that time of year when everything looks so great. Especially the entrance to Rogerland.
Sighted! Rodents of unusual size. Stay tuned.

Interior of gazebo decorated with deer bones

This is a shot of the interior of the gazebo in the fireswamp. I've been adding deer bones to the interior that I found in the fireswamp.

Fireswamp Gazebo with drawing table.

I've been working in the fireswamp lately and just installed a drawing table in the gazebo. I've been drawing pictures of R.O.U.S.'s ... rodents of unusual size. This summer, I smoothed out the open space, planted a dozen trees, and grew the enormous castor beans just beyond the gazebo.... yes, that is an ipad on the drawing table.

Sea Monster Bowls, plates and tiles. One more week left.

I'm still working away on my paintings of "Sea Monsters" and have an 80 page book laid out now. There must be another table top of pieces in the kilns still. One more week of classes left. Stay tuned.

Ceramic Octopus Sea Monster Plate

I'm on a roll lately and here's my latest. My goal is to do a blurb.com book of all of my sea monster plates, platters, bowls, and snide comments on politicians. I need to make 110 plates total and I'm half way there. 3 weeks to go.

A real Sea Monster, Drill Baby Drill

Just listening to the shrieking voice of Sarah Palin sends shivers up my spine. She's the real Sea Monster of this story. Funny, she hasn't mentioned "Drill Baby Drill" lately, has she? Now, she's blaming environmentalists for the spill. Nice. Keep it up Sarah, you're really helping, aren't you?

Summer Ceramics Class group of Sea Monster bowls

Here's a new shot of a group of my "Sea Monster" bowls. Some just came out of the kiln and are bisque-fired.

Tony Hayward, Brit Hume

From my "Sea Monster series of painted ceramics" two more Sea Monsters.

I've been pushing it lately, and here is the rack from the first day of class. These were done the past week or so at home, and I brought the pieces with me. Did a half dozen bowls in class yesterday. Stay tuned.

Yes, We have no banana bananas.

We have lots of banana plants, but no bananas. Here are the plants from the basement that overwintered in the cold. I'm surprised anything is still alive, but it is.
I put out the tropicals amongst the perennials in the garden after the 30th of May. A few additions from local plant shops too.

Sea Monster Series, strange fish.

Here's a new bowl with a Sea Monster Fish on it. Part of a large series of bowls I'm working on. The black is an engobe wet clay body which is applied to the surface of a wet bowl. It will be bisqued, then coated with a clear glaze.

Sea Creature Bowl, Electric Catfish

My wife has been forming the bowls, and laying on the engobe ( white clay).
I've been painting them as fast as she can make them. Stay tuned.
I love Sea Creatures.

Detail of the Jared Coffin House Painting by Roger De Muth

This is a detail of a painting that I posted yesterday. I recently learned that the Jared Coffin House was built as a private residence. Oh, my. It's a giant place, with spiral stair case, & has a gazillion rooms just up the street from the Steamship pier.

Jared Coffin House, Nantucket watercolor by Roger De Muth

Here's my newest painting of the Jared Coffin House in Nantucket. I thought the painting was lost this morning, but it came together mostly by accident this afternoon. The Inn is old and creepy, big rooms with a striped wood floor. The building is neat, nonetheless. I like old and creepy sometimes.

Watercolor painting of Piazza Navona, Rome

Piazza Navona always has an art show going on, or some event. It's lively and touristy at the same time. This is a painting I just finished of the Piazza for my Italian Sketch Book I've been working on.

Villa Valmarana, Vicenza, Italy, from a post card view.

This is a painting I did from a post card I bought at the Villa. It's a great place and Tiepolo did all the murals inside. The Villa has been in the same family for 400 years. Maxfield Parrish did some paintings of the guest house when he stayed there.

Palladio's Villa Rotunda is at the top of the painting. It's a nice walk from the City centre of Vicenza.

Mc Sorley's Ale House. Be Good or Be Gone.

This is one of my favorite places ever. I don't like crowds , so you have to get there early now, and the waiter in the back room has problems with chairs out of alignment...(don't know what his problem is).

Anyway, I've been going to Mc Sorley's since my college days...( 7 years of college, down the drain.) - John Belushi.

This is a painting I did of the bar and all the stuff behind it. 2 Dark Ales, cheaper than one.
Until we meet again.
Cheers.

Painting from the Garden Book- A hobby gone berserk.

I'm just finishing up a new book called " A Hobby gone berserk" about the gardens surrounding our house. This is a painting from the Horticultural and botanical section of the book which features various garden shops. This flower shop is called Pequeno Jardim from Lisbon, Portugal. A beautiful city, and nice country to visit. I recommend. Take a look at Blurb.com and do a search for me to find this new book.

Italy sketches, 2nd set of Sketches.

I'm trying to do another sketchbook and nearing completion of my Garden book- " A hobby gone Berserk". The sketches above are mostly for my " An Italian Sketchbook". It's taking me about 5 days to do 10 sketches on average, so it's going to be awhile to do a 100 paintings. I'll have some better images soon. 1st I pencil in the drawings, and then ink them with a dip pen and sepia ink. I think dip pens are one of the best things ever invented. Stay tuned.

Inked sketches of Italy for Blurb.com sketchbook.

Here are a few sketches I did while I was in Italy. I'm working on a new Blurb.com Sketch book. I'm trying to do a 100 paintings in the next couple of months. That's a good goal, isn't it?

Let's see if it happens. Stay tuned. The drawings are done on Arches 300 pound hot press, then inked with a dip style pen.

Panoramic photo of the Florian Cafe, Venice

Here's a number of images stitched together of the Florian Cafe in Venice. I just returned. The Florian is a very historic cafe, and filled with paintings, decorative designs, and most of all, good coffee. I recommend. Just across from the Doge's Palace and through the gallery. I'm working on a Sketch Book of Italy, and shot 7,800 panoramic reference photos in 2 weeks. Oh, my.
