A Clownz Painting

From the Fort Mason exhibit: this *still-life* was done last semester as I began experimenting with very loose, somewhat abstract compositions and color schemes. If I remember correctly, my instructor made one of his oft-repeated comments about space aliens perhaps having visited me in the night as he looked at it.

I guess this was a compliment???

Revving up this blog again. I am getting some very strong, clear messages these days that my Right Livelihood lies in the direction of making and selling my artwork. Accepting commissions. Working in a wide range of styles and sizes. Working through fear. Expressing gratitude for all the creative opportunities that are manifesting in my life.

Tomorrow: Religious Witness for the Homeless Press Conference, with my 7 1/2'-tall St. Francis painting displayed!

Yesterday's Work

It's not *perfect*, in fact, there are things about it I really dislike... I've titled it "Definitely an Experiment"-- doing a larger scale drawing, combining acrylic, ink, pencil, and a bit of collage (that's a shape cut out of a frozen pizza package on the left eye, lol).

But I worked for at least 2 hours.

And today I'm getting my start at 8:30am...
