My Opening at Art of This last August (the lost files)

Commission

After I finished getting ready for the group show at Fox Tax Gallery that opens next month I finally made the painting of the old bank (pre-remodel) in my original hometown of Anamosa Iowa.  My dad commissioned it and I had made it with oil on canvas which was a disaster since all I had was a bad computer print from an old camera phone picture.  I rather like the whimsical nature of this version and I may try some more now.  Anyways, who wouldn't like a rainbow sidewalk.

This is the view from inside my utopia box (barbie size) that I've been playing with.  I love Mylar and tinsel but as a whole it has yet to transcend from just being a pile of cheap crap that is hot glued to the inside of a box.  

Now back to work

Virgin Islands

 Coki Beach

 Tiny cay on our way to St John

 The American house Ruins on top of a small mountain that over looks on of the only ports in St John.  Tortola is in the distance.

 You can see St. Thomas way in the distance and one of the St john mountains to the left.

 Petroglyphs at a Taino spiritual sight

 It never rains on the south side so it is full of dead cactus and aloe

 Trunk Bay...best swimming pool ever

 Cruz Bay

Cinnamon Bay has the only waves

Studio visit

Nothing better then seeing the studio all clean and ready for a visit.

Monster Draw 2011

Here's a couple pictures from the Monster Draw benefit at Midway Contemporary Art.  It was a whole lot of fun.  The idea is that each group of artists work for an hour and everything they make is sold for $35 to raise money for Midway.  

Something is cooking

I finally have my studio together enough to get to work.  I've been busy organizing all of my source materials and drawings for my next several paintings.  More to come later.

Current reading list. It's easier now that I don't have tv.
