 Wasn't happy with this, originally- see below but came back to it and now I'm very happy with it! And it has a title: "St. Andrew In Repose." Thanks for looking...

 Mercury has finally gone direct and with it comes clarity and a general air of ease. By far and away, this past mercury retrograde was one of the worst for me. Anyway- new work to share. Two paintings that for me are evocative of an era that was critical for me as a young man- LA in the late 60s.

18"x24" all acrylic. "Topanga Canyon."

                                    24"x36" all acrylic. "Laurel Canyon."

Mercury Finally goes Direct..truly kicked my ass this go-around. I have an old ephemeris around that has a quote from Sir Issac Newton that goes something like this, "I, sir, have studied the subject and you have not..." whatever... all I know is that three or four times a year my shit goes sideways and I hate when it happens during my summer break. 

Painting has come with great difficulty for me these past 30 days or so. But I've learned to not push the river and just to ride out the storm. Anyway, not over the moon with this but it's work and it deserves respect. Peace out.

Old gold acrylic undercoat/borders with Matisse acrylics warp with lupus lazuli oil paint as final weft. 24"x36" 

I recognize and accept this fool's errand that I am on and that I'm essentially pissing into a black hole but I don't really give a fuck. I  paint because I must. I don't love this piece but I don't have to because it was a piece that demanded to be made. I am not the author-just the messenger. Love somebody. Love somebody and feel life be real.

Lulu and I would like to thank all our friends and family members who came to our OpenHouse and a big thanks to all the sculptors who came for The Decatur Sculpture Tour. A grand time was had by all!

No new work to speak up as we're still in "recovery" mode but a couple of shots to share.

This painting has shown up in numerous iterations and titles but this is finally completed and re-titled (tip of the hat to the lovely Alexis Atlee for the name) "Klimt's Garden."

"Vincent" has found a wonderful home with Alex Leavell and Emma Beauchamp and looks lovely!
