The Voice in Vernie’s Head

thevoiceinvernieshead

It’s true that I frequently don’t know what I’m painting, at least not in the beginning. Sometimes the imagery becomes clear long before the title and finding a title is a struggle. Sometimes the title pops into my head fairly early in the painting process. I was listening to the Blind Melon songs “Vernie,” and “Mouthful of Cavities” over and over while I was painting this one.

Diablo en Todas Partes

Our Cat Diablo shows up everywhere, unexpectedly. Driving my daughter to Spanish class, we heard hair-raising noises coming from underneath the back seats. Having recovered from the psychological trauma, he served as my inspiration. Oil on canvas, 6″ x 6″.
