Lady Liberty & the moon
Lady Liberty & the moon Originally uploaded by space.girl. My friend Gina asked me to come help paint sets for the Curio Theater Company in West Philadelphia.

Some Kind of Statement
Some Kind of Statement Originally uploaded by 730N. Clever without being overbearing? There is something I like about this image. A fly pinned to the flag. But why do I like this image? The image of nine mile run did not win any cash prizes in Pittsburgh. The judges are still coming from a modernist…

No more web mazes to navigate just…

Painting Progression #1 A Forest Grove.
I remember seeing a movie about 10 years ago or so, where a film crew focused on a picasso painting as he worked on it over however many hours. It was amazing to watch the animated changes play out across the canvas. It also brought a layer of transparency to painting that I thought was…
