Author: Jonathan G. Meyer

Jonathan G. Meyer is a happily retired electrician with a passion for Science Fiction. He is the middle child of seven children; too young for the older three, and too old for the younger three. He therefore spent many hours alone with books. Early on he was drawn to the classic Sci-Fi of his time, and is an avid reader to this day. Since retiring, he has put all that reading experience to use and created the AL CLARK Trilogy. His latest is a standalone called VINCENT.

Country Tree Swing

I apologize for not posting much in the last few days. I have been focusing my efforts on completing book four in my Al Clark Series. I thought I would post this version of a tree swing done in oil paint. This was during my Bob Ross phase.

Picture yourself swinging under this tree on a warm spring morning and you WILL feel better.

Finished Picture Frame

When I am not writing, I like to work on various projects. This is the latest.

I posted earlier about a frame I made for one of my daughters paintings. After some thought and a few opinions I opted to match the frame with the background of the piece.

Normally, I shy away from covering new wood with paint. It this case, I varied from the norm. Everything else left the painting wanting. I wanted to see if I could make an inexpensive frame that complimented the work, and I believe I succeeded.

Alien Invasion

Life as we know it will change.

We don’t know when they are coming.

We don’t know if they are already here.

We don’t know where they will come from.

We don’t know if they come to conquer or save.

When they get here we will know.

Elephant in the Bush

I imagine elephants are practicing more stealth these days, even though it’s hard for an elephant to hide. The next time you are in the jungle, and there are wild elephants around, look deep into the bushes. That is where they like to hide…. and when you shoot them…. use a camera.

The Lite-It-Up Project

It was a simple concept. A 4 inch block of wood with a large bole drilled in the bottom for an LED circuit board and four 1/4 inch holes drilled through the top. Acrylic rods dispersed the lite.

The 2 inch circuit board included 4 high output LEDs, a fuse, and a cord that plugged into a 120v outlet. The current draw is so low there is no heat generated, allowing the night-lite to remain plugged in at all times. (No batteries to change, and lasts for years.)

In the beginning we used acrylic rods to ‘Light things up.’

Spaceship under lite-it-up

From there it evolved into many variations. Here are some of the ones I’m most proud of.

Would you like to see more of the Lite-It-Up Project? As part of our marketing efforts, I took a lot of photos. I don’t mind sharing.

AL CLARK-Earth (Book Four)

Cover Reveal & Publication Notice

The votes are in, and this will be the cover for my new addition to the Al Clark story.

The manuscript is currently at the editor and will be released in Late May. I am so excited! This one, like the others, took a while to write. Publishing will be a great relief.

The three prior books have a steady 4.5 rating on Amazon, and almost as good on GoodReads. This rendition takes Al home to discover his past. He will learn that going home is not always easy.

All my books are available with KindleUnlimited.

Picture Frame Dilemma

 

I have crafted a frame for one of my daughter’s paintings. She painted this especially for me, so I want to provide a respectable frame for display.

It’s a simple frame I created from inexpensive cove molding and 3/4″ X 3/4″ trim from good-old Home Depot.

My dilemma is how to finish the frame. I have three options. Which one do you believe will accent the painting to it’s fullest potential?

  1. Paint the frame to match the white Gesso of the painting?
  2. Paint the frame a color to compliment the colors in the painting?
  3. Stain the frame (Dark or Light)?

Any input is appreciated. I’ve never been good with matching frames to the work.

Bird Flying

This was one of the first cut-paper pieces I created. The idea was to keep it simple – with meaning.

You have to look down to see them. (The bicycles are really small.)
