Tea Party Revolution


This is a 72" x 60" acrylic painting I've been working on for the past week. It's the third time I've painted over this particular canvas. Thinking I might stick with this painting, maybe take the print route after I'm finished with it. I get a tea party vibe from it, the eleventh hour. Of course, you can take it in a lot of other directions to. I think every direction can be a worthwhile adventure really. Working on this particular painting has changed me for the better, I can't wait to get cranking on some new paintings and experiment with what I've learned while painting this one. I still have to finish this one, so I better hush it and get back to painting! Take care!

Three New Acrylic Paintings


16 x 20 Acrylic Painting on Paper, 2010.



47 x 35 Acrylic Painting on Paper, 2010.



36 x 48 Acrylic Painting on Canvas, 2010.



The last acrylic painting shown above was a finished painting of mine I decided to paint over this weekend. I really liked the painting before, but I'm totally in love with it now! No finished painting in my art studio is safe at the moment. I started painting over a finished 72 x 60 painting this afternoon!! While most see a finished painting, I see a blank canvas, or a painting that needs more experimentation on. There are no rules!! Don't worry about mistakes! Keep working the paint! Get mid-evil on it!! Crank up the jams!!

I had a blast at the art reception this past Friday night! I met so many nice people! I really enjoyed talking with everyone I met. Chuck Lawson, the curator, did a very nice job setting up the show. It was a pretty wild experience for me to see four of my artworks hanging up in a gallery and not hanging in my art studio, they looked so much better! Hope everyone gets a chance to go check out the show this month over at the FTCC gallery, and also, meet Chuck.

More new paintings shortly! Take care!
