Faith in the Next Generation
Ford: “I don’t really believe in God.” Ford and I had our first of what I assume will be a series of conversations about God and his existence. Faith has never really played a role in his mother’s life and church has not been a meaningful part of his upbringing to this point. This is […]

The Overwhelming Blankness
I’m getting ready to start The Review – 2018 painting, and the blank canvas taunts me. The Review – 2017 was a hit with The Fellas (my primary critics) with iconic “pie” and “Hulk Room” panels. The blank canvas stares at me as I walk through the room, and it whispers “have you got enough […]

Is “partial” just “pretending”
I recently saw the investment memorandum for a company called Yulong Eco-Materials which is enabling for the fractional ownership of fine art. I think this means that you can own 2% of a Monet or a Fabergé egg. This does not resonate with me in the least. I guess the art market is hot, but […]

Hunter turned Seven. Not seven weeks, or even seven months, but seven years old. Joy, joy, scream, scream. Ford “Review. Best picture yet. Munch is a funny name. I like yours better than his.”

Birthday Lich – February Painting
Both Ford and I have February birthdays and I was trying to drop some Lichtenstein love on the passage of time. I tried a couple of ways to come up with a good technique for regular Ben-Day dots (I learned that new word), but I think Ford summed it up nicely with “not all of […]

Wizardly
Me and The Fellas are working to make painting a habit. We had so much fun around the Opus Memoriae MMXVII that we decided that each month we were going to pick the “theme of the month” or some thing we really enjoyed and make a picture out of it. For January, I am the […]
