I framed this commissioned piece over the weekend. I’d wanted to use this stuff for a while( it’s called Oriented strand board) to make a frame, and am really happy with how it turned out. I feel the texture of the overlapping wood chips really works with the textured border I put on the canvas.

It’s only the 2nd time I’ve done a collaboration, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. After I handed it back to Luis, he framed it and added some sculptural paint drips, continuing the painting outside the frame.
A collaborative painting of a human figure with a silhouette that becomes stars in black space, with birds surrounding him. A door appears in his back, with more human figures stepping out. The bottom half of the figure turns to drips of paint. A sunset sky lies behind him.

I started painting this little 12.5x24.5 inch canvas, tonight. It’s made to fit a frame I found on the street (and cleaned up/painted). The bird head is based on a phainopepla.

That might be it for this commissioned piece. I’ll know in a week or so, when it’s dry.

It’s one question, and it’s easy. Voting no is like putting your hands down, while someone is getting ready to punch you in your face. You might have a moment of feeling like the better person, but you’re still definitely getting punched. Yes on 50!

Sweeter Than Truth - oil on canvas - 46x50 inches - October 2000
Wow, 25 years ago, I finished this one. More info in alt text.
#oilpainting #art #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism
Back 2000, I didn’t know any other painters who lived near me. It was the only year since I graduated art school that I didn’t exhibit my work somewhere. But every day when I came home from my soul-sucking office job, I went into the studio and gave it all I had. A year later, I’d find a gallery in DC interested in showing my stuff. This one ended up in my first solo show, there. I’ve learned a lot more since then, but I still like this weird thing I made, when I was still figuring out some of the basics of how to do this thing I do. An oil painting of a human torso on a stylized couch in an otherwise empty interior space. It has no head, just an opening in the neck. It has its arm around a box-like piece of machinery, whose cord trails off the couch and across the floor. A large hose comes out of the top of the box, curling around and depositing a greenish liquid into the torso’s neck orifice. The box has a slot for currency. The torso’s other hand holds som, ready to pay for more.

A Box Full of Better - oil on 2 canvases - 30x26 inches - October 2005
20 years ago! More info in ALT.
#oilpainting #art #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism
I finished this one 20 years ago. It was done for a group show in a gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, CA… an amazing art complex I’d wanted to get my stuff into since I moved out here. The painting sold at the collector’s preview, before the show even opened. I went on to have a few years worth of solo shows in that gallery (since closed). It’s weird to remember a time when everything seemed to be working out. An oil painting on 2 rhomboid canvases of a tiled interior space. The left has a disembodied head, eyes closed. A cord emerges from below the head, snakes around and points its plug at the right panel, which had a hand emerging from a hole in the floor, balancing a box on the end of an extended finger. The box has a receptacle for the plug.

I got the final color for the dress in, and oiled out the background and her head to bring the color intensity back. Lots more little stuff to do on this commissioned piece, once it’s dried.

Getting some red transition into those top feathers… I’ll probably add even more, once this pass is dry. Lots more little stuff to do on this commissioned piece.
