bovines in the boudoir

A few of my new chair infused paintings....this one titled "Bovines in the Boudoir"...24x36

and no, the title did not come about by a spicy food dream.
Thou, I must admit lately I'm obsessed with Tabasco flavored Cheez-its .

I dread the day the company ceases productive on these gems.

So, I implore you all to purchase these with care abandon...hoard them if you can....maybe this will encourage the Cheez-it people to keep the shelves stocked.

Worst case scenario, If they are cruelly discontinued I will more than likely to be quite motivated to buy them from you for like $50 a box.


"Kick'in Back" 24x24

death by deletion

Nobody wants to be the hatchet man, the hit man, the hired gun,the bad guy.

But sometimes you just gotta step up and do it.

Like any able bodied person with an itchy trigger finger, I too own a digital camera riddled with lifeless pictures.

Pictures with no future.

Pictures of no relevance.

Pictures of no consequence.

These pictures are not bad mind you.

They've done nothing wrong.....they just don't quite fit in anywhere.

It's just, quite frankly I'm tired of them taking up valuable space.

Valuable space for more cute pig pictures....space for cats engaging in adorable sleeping poses....blurry, moving chicken photos .

These photos trapped in my digital are oh-so-pretty to look at ....kind of like that guy with the bad ass tattoos and the I-work-out-alot muscles ..... nice to see, but boy I wouldn't want to be married to him.
Just can't see them in my life forever.

No offense pictures, but you must be purged.

So I will hold back my Donald Trump bangs and with a push of a button I will bravely declare "you're fired".

I know I will see you again.

As uncomfortable as I am in my role as exectutioner, I now realize these pictures will live in blog land forever.

More to follow.....

heArt of Winter

Yes indeed, It is time again for the Annual

heARt of Winter Folk Art Show

January 30-31st

At a fab new venue:

The Red Barn Antique Center

Warwick, New York.

What could be better??!!

days of swine and poses

You know, it's entirely possible I have spent the entirety of winter trying to snap a good photo of our pigs, Olive and Violet....mainly for painting inspiration....

Which I might add is a task of great magnitude...as they are as elusive as Snipe or Sasquatch...hibernating in their cozy house, only to appear when they hear the slop hit the dish.

And try to get a decent, respectable photo, I dare you.

Frozen fingers poised on the camera trigger...waiting for the perfecto moment .

Only to miss it by milliseconds (damn digital cameras!).

And would you think these pigs would know the sacred rule of extending a leg to look taller and slimmer? Or never, never ever give a full ,700lb.broadside view? So unflattering.

So for now you'll have to excuse me if I use some artistic freedoms in my pig paintings....

Thanks to Gena for the "pigtail" photo!

And no, they are not going to be on the In-And-Out menu.

House Crawl

Coming up on Nov. 7th is the Double H Ranch house Crawl...Benefits to go to the Hole in The Wall Camp..

Honored was I to asked to display artwork in one of the historic homes....with part of the artwork sale proceeds going to the camp.

The Double H Ranch, located in New York’s Adirondack Park, is a demonstration of the commitment and generosity of philanthropist Charles R. Wood and actor Paul Newman. Since the Ranch officially opened its doors on July 4, 1993, it has served over 17,000 children dealing with life-threatening illnesses from around the world. It was the second “Hole in the Wall Camp” in what has become a worldwide network of not-for-profit recreational and therapeutic experiences for children with serious illness. Named after the gang in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" the family of Hole in the Wall Camps has given over 119,000 children the chance to be a kid again.
