No particular reason.  That's where I feel at home right now.

First Thursday on the Third Thursday

Drew Gentle's resume is impressive, but his expressive and dynamic works of fine art and paintings are fantastic!


The bold color schemes and the intense expression of his portraits are magnetic.

I really couldn't stop looking at these. Love the juxtapose here, with the lightweight pastels and the delicate face - and then the hint of an inner monster up there in her head. I choose to assume she's in her 40's.


Drew Gentle was there, but when I went back to snap a photo I couldn't find him.

These works are simply breathtaking. The energy and intrigue pull you in.

They remind me of a mix of Rorschach blots, Willem de Kooning, and cubism.

I may have to go back to see if any of his smaller pieces are affordable.

This morning's notes from a talk given by futurist Edie Weiner.

Book Portrait

Now and then I do paint a picture. This is a book cover 'portrait' that I made for a friend of mine. To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, is one of her favorite books. I finally read it myself and I can see why this book lands at the top of so many people's favorite books lists.

This portrait is customized with the silhouette of my friend's daughter.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

The last book club discussion focused on the first Stieg Larsson book in the Millenium trilogy. I read the book in Swedish, and have just started reading the second in the series.

Oh When the Saints Go Marching In...

I really like working with this dark craft paper.

These are paintings from the old family photo album.

The Underground

At the Fayetteville Underground Gallery - First Thursday February 2010.

I can't remember who painted this... I need to find out!

It was cool though.

I love the effect the 3d glasses had on the image,




There's Dede beyond the poppy.

Oh, the O

Connected

I take my sketchbook and pen and go off somewhere and draw for 15 minutes or so...

I have to.

If there is no sketch fix, I start to twitch.

Connecting to the part of my head that doesn't think within the rules and confined walls of protocol or structure keeps me balanced.
