Some things last a long time

Thank you, Mike Lownie, for reminding me that Daniel Johnston exists in this world. You brightened my whole day (as grey and dreary as it looks from the outside here in Denver on the unusually late date of our first snowfall of the season.)

I will have tiny and affordable paintings for sale at the Foothills Center Holiday Market, which opens this Friday November 13, with a reception from 6 to 8 pm.

This show will last a (relatively) long time. It hangs from November 13 till December 30.

Happy Birthday Fran Lebowitz

I wish you had your own talk show. I’d learn how to turn our television on for that.

The world is too much with us

But still there are things that make it worth while.

 

This guy does with words what I am trying, always, to do with paint.

I don’t know who he is, but he’s good. Check out his poems. Makes me think about quantum entanglement & all kinds of other things I don’t understand but think about anyway.

 

Also, please vote on Tuesday if you haven’t already.

Like the cowardly lion closing his eyes tight and chanting, I do believe I do believe I do believe that we can make a difference. Already we have a president capable of complex sentence structure! Magic is real, people. Cast your ballot.

Mermaids Singing (What the Water Wants)

With apologies to and in appreciation of T.S. Eliot and Sufjan Stevens.

And countless others. Always.

Oil on wood, 6″ x 36″.

I’ve finished this oddly sized painting for a group show titled Syzygy (we’re all working on this same long, narrow panel) that will open at Sync Gallery on November 19th and hang until December 11th.

Many thanks to the good people at Sync for inviting me.

Night owls

Chine-collé monotypes made at the Art Students League of Denver.

They started to morph away from owl and toward floating groucho glasses at the end.

Farther along

At least a bit.

I think this one is almost finished.
