Thanks for the thoughtful comment.  At first I read "beauty and hautiness"  .... I like "hauntingness" alot better!


Just love your paintings.  A couple of them remind me of a strange but memorable time in my life when I lived in an industrial neighborhood in Albuquerque.---Strawberry

Hi!

Thanks for traveling to my website! My good friend created it -- Jeff Noble, a true rock star in the web design world. You can find him at conquestmedia.com

I don't use a retarder. I don't normally work fast. I think Chinese New Year (my latest post) took me around 8 hours?! I wet every board before I begin and then layer thin washes of paint. Due to excessive use of water in the painting process -- my boards curl up...but they flatten nicely when pressed and framed.

I like that you re-worked that painting we talked about. The "after" strokes build the paint up nicely -- it almost has a pastel feel to it. I see it hanging in a gallery somewhere in Southern Arizona.... 

(ps) I think you are on to something with your corner paintings

Thanks for your comment on Hotdog Longjohns. It's my daughter's adopted dachsund and she really did wrap him up in a 6foot scarf and he walked around with it on for a long time. He loves her.


I love the way you pick the corners of streets.
