2012: an image a day from nanoscapes & small friends

IMAGE-A- DAY

January 1, 2012 from a camera photo
of "7 Hippos Marching"

I posted an image a day to Facebook from October 2010 to September 2011, and it's time to start again.

Image-a-Day 2010-2011

Those images were thematic and either related to specific months (pumpkins for October, leaves for November, lost-left-handed gloves of January, raindrops for April, ears of corn for July, pencils for September), or joyfully random (introducing the LLLama family in May and 30 new small friends in June).

Because both nanoscapes' geometric abstractions and whimsical small friends will be part of this project, the theme for 2012 will be "surprise!"  This first image is part of a 7-hippo family portrait which will join the small friends website next week.

Fractured Glass Meets Kaleidoscopes: Day 4

In the ordinary course of painting nanoscapes, I paint in all of the shapes before painting in all of the outlines.

However, as the Boss of Myself, I can test, bend or break my rules. 

I couldn't resist painting the lines in the orange ball near the bottom left, pointing the way to the shape of things to come.
