Sunday in the studio. Another painting in progress. The stag 4 pack. Cheers!

Finished up the Pig and a Bull this afternoon. (Life would be much funnier if we were all walking around with little tails like that pig.) Each 9x12x.75, acrylic and ink on wood panel. Ready to hang.

Pig, by request. One of the best animal silhouettes so far. Didn’t realize how funny their shape is.

Haven’t done anything in the devil series in a while. Paper is an Italian music program from 1933. A friend from Italy sent this to me after finding them in storage.

The Story
I was driving down the highway, in the middle of nowhere and I was thinking about everything that I shouldn’t be wasting time thinking about. You know, the silly stuff that fights for your attention. What needs to be done, what isn’t done yet, what should be done, who needs what, the car needs tires, the fridge needs food, the house needs heat, the kids needs a college education and all that stuff. I could go on and on and on but I know most of you know exactly what I am talking about. Anyway, I am driving down the highway, thinking about these things and then traffic slows to a halt and there is a big line of us sitting on the highway and I stare to my right and into the field and there cows right up near the fence just staring at us all sitting in our cars, growing impatient for not moving and thinking all our silly things and they are calm and their movements are deliberate and I can’t help but think that there is something to be learned here. The traffic starts to inch forward and I soon leave the cows behind and I leave all those silly stresses behind there with them and drive on to another day where all things seem possible. … Enjoy!

This was what I used as a paint rag for the last few years. I think it makes a pretty cool piece on its own.

So Long, Cowbow

OK, I Will

The Story
He was a bit of a jerk and I could tell he didn’t take too kindly to “those artist types” (whatever that meant) and then he found out I was one of them “artist types” and asked me what I painted and I said “people, mainly” and then he said, “paint this!” and he opened his mouth wide and made a really ugly face at me thought he was really funny and then I said, 

“OK, I will.”  

Enjoy!
