Welcome

I decided to start a blog to try to capture ideas when I have them.

In my work, I find that inspiration strikes when it's not convenient to act on it. I don't get inspired when I'm sitting at the easel, but when I'm sitting at a red light.
Then I forget.
I hope this helps.
Today:

• American Flag USA: We just got back from a trip to BC. We love Canada. But we love the USA too! U - S - A!!!!!! I'm picturing something like this:

• Acreage For Each: A large intaglio print I made in college had a portrait of my brother on one end, me on the other, was long and narrow (@6"x36" or so). I'd like to revisit this idea in oils. Double portraits can be really powerful. I have trouble with them.
• new Hillbilly Hellraiser: An abstracted take on my painting from a few years ago. I have been really into stripes lately, and rainbow colors. This was the previous painting:

This outlet should help me to visualize stuff I want to do, and keep track of it.
Thanks for looking.
