Work in Progress

I started this painting yesterday. I think it is in the style of the impressionists, maybe post-impressionists. I'll go with "abstract post-impressionism". It was fun to do. Not sure what else is needed at this point. I'll sit on it a couple days and see how I feel about it.

Art-O-Mat Special Editions

I've almost finished the Art-O-Mat blocks. I've got 48 completed. Most of them are the generic guitars with generic birds. Then I did these 12. They are real guitars played by real musicians. This was a lot of fun. Had to do some research and look for iconic images. I should be able to ship the completed blocks back to Art-O-Mat next week. I have a few finishing touches to add, like the labels and signatures, and a clear coating. Then I wrap a piece of cellophane around each one and that's it! Sit back and wait to see if they sell. I've had a positive response on Instagram with the few teasers I put out there. I think they're worth $5! SO...fingers crossed...

Graduated!

Congrats to the Grad

My baby girl graduated from Methodist University today with a degree in accounting. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.9 grade point average. We are so proud of her. She worked so hard. The ceremonies were held in Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, where the minor league hockey team plays. It was a rather long, drawn out affair...nearly 3 hours. The boys were really, really good--all things considered. It's asking a lot of a little boy to sit still for 3 hours. Afterwards we ate at Twisted Grape in Spring Lake. Adequate food, overly expensive. It was a very nice day, now I've got to get back to painting the Art-O-Mat blocks...
