Format change

New change to my studio layout, not being a webhead expert I do the best I can to make my work accessible worldwide to everyone who wants to enjoy my art. You see new very brightly colored headers, these are pictures taken from my studio work table I've been hauling around for the last 20 year's. Lots of art projects in 20yrs, small paint jobs here and there & what to do with all the extra paint? This is the answer, still till this day. Love the one with my name on it, my daughter Tara wrote it there when she was something like 11, said people needed to know who it belonged to or something. Paintings mean nothing other than a time and place, then over again in yet another time and place, it just happens. Capture the Art in the Moment.

The food, mimosas & beer went together seamlessly. Nice job.

Curtis Otto - A day of remembering

I didn't know Curtis Otto all that well but I did know him well enough to be art pals even in the little time I knew him. Always stopped and talked art at whatever shows he may of been doing and talked about doing an art for art trade. Yes he was very interested but didn't transpire until one day after taking down a show and driving home on E street did I stop at Otto's house. Can't help but miss it, paintings everywhere outside the front of house, garage doors wide open. So I stopped and got his attention and said come check out this. Showed him two bins full of sculptures in the back of my truck, he said "bring em in". So we did, he picked through a bunch and found two he liked and set aside. Now for me to try and decide on a painting. If you've never been inside his house it was completely full of paintings, paintings EVERYWHERE! I knew he had good stuff stashed in the garage and asked if we could check that out, so we did. That's where I found this painting and asked how much, he said he didn't want to sell, maybe something to the effect it wasn't done. So we brought it back in the house and put with all the others. He kept raising the price where I had to say hey wait a minute, so in the end he ended up with the two copper sculptures I had made & I ended up with this kick ass painting. He said to me he liked to "time stamp" stuff, obviously so in alot of his paintings and that's what he said he liked about my stuff, a time in space & place. Rock on my artist friend. Paint that wild ass painting wherever you maybe.
