Red Devils, Mariachi and the hardest working man in two dimensions


Top Red Devil Jug Band, Guitar and Bass

8x10 inches, acrylic on canvas, framed

bottom the first April Grid of 25, 8x10" paintings.

I've been going nonstop since hanging the show at Cowbell (which really looks great) and trying to work through getting some commissions finished and working on the April Grid Diaries, so my best friend has been the DVD player, so far I've been through ( I can't say "watched" because I don't really watch them 100%) "Spartacus Blood and Sand" and Arrested Development Season Three. I just started "Damages" and Glenn Close already scares the crap out of me. I'll take a quick break now to maybe hang the two Red Devils at the Press Club and then get back to it. Expect a finished view of the mariachis tonight or tomorrow afternoon.


Also, in a colossal mistake of "measure once, cut once" I mad EIGHT of the 8x10 frames I"m building too small, so will have to custom make EIGHT stretchers too fit inside them, oh joy.


stay cool,

New Foundland Tartan

New Found Land Tartan (Canadian Girl Project)

10x12 inches, acrylic on canvas, framed
                                                                  commission ($160.00)
After doing the Cape Breton Tartan piece I was asked to do the above, I now beg for mercy and ask for no more tartan commissions for two weeks, you can order the pieces, I just won't start them for two weeks as the fluids in my eyes are completely scrambled after doing the two in such close proximity. "Canadian Girl" flag pieces can be commissioned, any flag is possible really, they can be done in 10x12 or 12x12 and framed. to see others click the label "Canadian Girl Project" in the Labels section of the blog.
                                                               Back to it, lots to do today,
