This is what I have been working on instead of going out. I hate the winter, when it gets cold all I want to do is put on a movie and stay warm. I love painting with orange and blue. I’ve been doing lots of that lately.

The hardest thing to do when you paint something is figuring out when you are finished. I am quite happy with the way this is, but who knows. Nothing is safe with me and i’m never one to say I am completly happy with anything I do. I did realize today that the oil paint fumes where making me higher then i’d like to be. I think I will have to call it quits on oil untill I can open the windows and not get frost bite.

Common boy lets go for a walk
you want me for security, you don’t want to talk

I think for my first Exhibition things went pretty well. I rubbed elbows and drank wine with the rich yuppies of Northville. It was biter sweet because I entered two pieces I don’t like very much. I wasn’t even sure what the hell to do but stand there and look dumb. It wasn’t like painting to music at the Elbow room. I sort of miss that compared to the sterile white of a gallery space. I should look into doing that live painting thing again, it was lots of fun.

Exciting news

Sending out my portfolio has generated a bit of interest. No hits just yet, but things are looking better then I expected. On the other hand:

“The Choice Is Simple” 12″ X 10″ Acrylic

I made this piece for a local art show and it got in. The exhibition is running from October 3rd through November at the Art House in downtown Northville.

This i do believe

My goal is to make art that challenges both sides of the brain while appealing to the eye. The power of art is when the viewer uses their imagination to perceive a meaningful interpretation. I create a truely unique viewing experience by applying this philosophy to my artwork. When one perceives a camp fire in my painting and another envisions a sunset, I have achieved my goal.

I painted this the other day

Enjoy

I make art for me and this art is a part of me. I can not tell you what my art is because doing that would be like you trying to describe to me the color blue. Take from it what you want and see whatever it is you will. The true power of art is using your imagination to figure out what it means to you. When someone says to me they see a fish and in my head I know it to be different, I smile.

Ever feel like this

But then you walk down and see this

Ghost eyes??
