A Recent Watercolor Style...

I have a tendency to work in a variety of styles...surrealism, realism..CHICKENS...and also-- abstracted nature? This is the best way I can describe this type of art I have been doing, (on and off), for the last year or two. I find it relaxing because it starts out with the wet into wet technique (with watercolors), and ends with a lot of fun detail! (and I love detail :)-- here I find the best of both worlds in terms of creation. I used both watercolor and gouache in this painting.

Mr. Chicken is now Supersized...and in Oils...

Yup, that's right-- Mr. Chicken is now being offered up in a "supersized" format-- thanks McDonalds! :O.....

Uh, anyway. The Mr. Chicken series originally began as a bunch of artist's trading cards-- (you know, baseball card size art). I had a number of people ask, "do you have that in a larger version?" Alas, at the time I did not. Now I do-- yeah!!! I am selling the prints now in a larger format-- 5 by 7 with an 8 by 10 mat.

Even better, I am recreating some of my best sellers even LARGER and in oils. "Mr. Chicken Has His Beer" is the first one I finished. I am currently working on a larger, oil version of "Vitruvian Chicken," and also "Mr. Chicken Goes Scuba Diving." Good stuff...

I Love Irish People...

And I'm not just saying this 'cause I'm part Irish! (but I am-- 25% mind you-- apparently my great-grandpa was a Finnian)...(Dad says Grandma was "shanty Irish"-- real PC)!!! ...anyway...

I just love Sinead Lohan. I don't listen to a lot of "new music." ie: anything current. Call me old school, but I listen to stuff from when I was young, as well as music when I was either in utero, or before I was born. I just love her stuff though. I saw her in concert in Madision, WI when I was in my early 20's and it was AWESOME!!!! I would love to see another performance! :) Here is a song I found via You Tube :)
