The Barn Theatre In Montville, NJ!

I have a few of my paintings hanging in the beautiful lobby at The Barn Theatre in Montville NJ! Thanks to Antionette, Lillian and Sal for connecting the dots! This is a wonderful theatre and kind of out of the way; I don't know if I ever would have found it on my own! The play they are presenting currently is The Master Class.  Here is a piece called SOLID THOUGHTS. I am incorporating some stamping as well as watercolor and enjoying the effects; I hope you do too!! In the meantime, check out the Barn Theatre's website for their upcoming plays; they are at 32 Skyline Drive in Montville!

Inchworms...

...Sitting On Wheat! YES! That is exactly what this looks like and it's exactly what I intended to paint when I sat down! Actually I was going for the Irish flag, and NEVER should have attempted this while driving! Sometimes my work is well thought out and really has me dive heavily into emotion - this one, not so much! Either way, it's how I roll and This IS What Comes Out Of Me!

Duck Soup?

Close, but no cigar. I've been swimming a lot lately at a nearby lake. Sometimes there's a lot of ducks at the beach. On overcast days, I'd venture to say the ducks outnumber the humans often. This is when you get a chance to observe these creatures that have the funniest natural sounds. Quack. Right? Really. Quack. It just sounds like they're confused from the start... then they're walking all over the place, following one-then another; they really are full on ADHD. My homage to the confused Mallard... This Is What Comes Out of Me!

Would You Feed A Fly To This?

I saw it as an amphibian of sorts, and no one is going to tell me different! I've been approached by some people who tell me my work looks nothing like it's description... I shall politely disagree. It's in the beholder now, isn't it-- not only the beauty but the interpretation itself. I see scales, I see a half digested dragonfly, I see ooze and vaporized wings and I see claws, a tongue and a tail. Feel free to take possession of it, even for a moment and name it yourself! The piece is called Liquid Amphibian. So it goes. This is what comes out of me. It also is one of the pieces hanging at Ruthie's Bagel Dish until the end of summer. I've got 40 pieces hanging there; would love for some of you to see them. Really!

Blue Lorax

I thought I posted this piece and went through the archive...if I missed it, I apologize, but thought it was worth seeing - if not twice! Called BLUE LORAX, I created this when all the hubub of the Lorax film was happening. When I was young I loved the Lorax and all the bright colors in that particular book. It was all warm colors, and I wanted to reproduce the feel of the motion in the book with this, but in a looser manner. There is no obvious moustache, and perhaps I've failed miserably, but This IS What Comes Out Of Me!

Beautiful Plumage!

A Monty Python quip. Not the reason for this piece at all, just a good title I suppose. This is called PLUME. Thanks for looking. I think I've activated the Comments correctly on this blog...sorry to anyone who's tried to comment and couldn't. This Is What Comes Out Of Me, and I'd like to hear what comes out of you, too!

The Mark Of Zorro

...is the intro to my radio show. There's nothing deep about it; I just like the sound the sword makes cutting through the air. Many people ask me about it. The song is by The Chalengers. Now there are visual aids for it as well. This is what comes out of me.

Ruthie's Bagel Dish!

NOT the name of any of my pieces, but the name of the next lovely place where I will be exhibiting my work... and what a place it is!! Ruthie's Bagel Dish is in Highland Park NJ, has lots of wall space AND lots of great food! There is a beautiful garden sitting area out back and I am very pleased to have the opportunity to decorate the walls here! The opening will be the evening of July 28th (Saturday) from 7-10:30 pm, I'm excited!!! There seems to be enough space there for 25 paintings, so you may just see this one...

Ever Make Your Own Constellation?

ARCHER   4/12

If you look at the stars some nights you can make up your own constellations and, of course, see many established ones. I sometimes imagine the constellations full of sweeping color. This looks nothing like Sagittarius that sort of stick figured archer horse fella, but I think it would be cool if one day you looked up at the sky and saw the constellation painted like this anyway! This Is What Comes Out Of Me!

Fountain

To some this may look like a fountain, it has the feel of a fountain to me. Not making a molehill, or a mountain, it's just called FOUNTAIN!
