Swim

I think this should be my courage song: Swim Until You Can’t See Land

by Frightened Rabbit.

Really, could it get any more perfect?

I am a frightened rabbit as a matter of course.

I have made tremendous progress on what will probably be the largest painting in the show at a modest 40″ x 40″.

(How I envy those painters who routinely create 6′ x 6′ paintings or larger; I don’t know that my circumstances will ever allow for that.)

This is the red bull painting. The cabatisto, the Mexican wrestler.

With a little luck, I’ll have something worthy of a postcard by next week.

Deliriously happy that I’ve made it this far and still breathe.

Bouquet

Another teeny one. Oil on canvas, 8″ x 8″.

Corazón entre Nubes

Oil on canvas, 8″ x 8″.

Once in a blue moon

We are coming up on the second of two blue moons that we’ll have this year.

I don’t know what the odds are of having two blue moons in a year, and my geekery level isn’t high enough this evening to find out.

I’m too busy trying to paint a Mexican wrestler.

Good news- a trio of great shows at CORE New Art Space. Opening tomorrow with an artists’ reception on Friday evening, this show features three artists at different points in their careers, working in different genres.

All three are gifted and dedicated artists, and I recommend you come to see this show if you can.

My friend Claudia Roulier, is one of the three artists in this show. Claudia makes me feel like an underachiever; she is so prolific and talented, and her (often delightfully creepy) work is a must-see!

Gregor’s Prayers

Another tiny one. Oil on canvas, 6″ x 6″.

Earworm

12″ x 12″, oil on canvas.

(I don’t want to get) Bitter

And so I won’t.

Life is sweet and I finished a painting  yesterday. Pic to come soon.

I love Jill Sobule!

May those who love us love us.
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts,
And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.

Crossing The Waters

(Flowers for Esmin Green)

Oil on canvas, 40″ x 30″.

If any one can define specifically for me the what the “pompitous of love” is I’ll give ’em five bucks.

(It’s about all I can spare.)

Kay Sorpresa

The Patron Saint of Shock and Shiver.

24″ x 12″, oil and gold leaf on canvas.

May god forgive me for the terrible pun.

Sticky Jam

Oil on canvas, 6″ x 6″.
