The latest thing percolating in my studio...
...is tentatively called, "The Marriage of Heaven & Earth". It's been bouncing around for awhile, so I finally got off my ass & started painting it. These damned things beat at me for months, sometimes YEARS until I paint them out. An idea knows it's got a better chance at becoming a painting when it makes me sketch it over & over & over again. Here's one of the many rough sketches that wouldn't leave me alone:



And, if you like these forays into my process, I'd love it if you threw something in the tip jar. July in New Orleans is a slow, slow time, and the 3 week show I'd normally be doing in Connecticut went away:(

Or, you could always pop over to my site and buy some art...!

Yup - they said it had something to do with fixing the main building, but I'm suspicious that there may be more issues than that:(

Have you ever painted a couple body-painted?

These two are too far apart in my opinion. I would bring them together and weave them in paint that melts into 3-D reality of both Earth and Sky.

If you could bend them into a version of the infinity symbol, that would be intense....

Nope, haven't done that...had some ideas for a multi-flesh piece, but you're the only person I go all out for with any regularity. Takes too much outta me...

I've fixed the distance between them - you'll see. And it took a voodoo bent, not an Asian one;)
