Fished out some more...most of these are large scale oil and acrylic paintings. I used to be completely obsessed and fixated on painting and one day being an artist. I loved painting more than anything...but I've only made one since 2019. Thinking of starting again this summer on multiple canvases painted outdoors on our property.

@Oaktavia i had no idea! Phenomenal shit. Wish I was in town, I’d love to see it in person. And buy one.

@Matt If you look closely at the clock on the mural...there is a numeric message 3x number...

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia Seriously impressed!!! Awesome work/art and with the masters degree also!

[goosehd]

…just saw the clock . Cheeky, very cheeky…. Did you ever get called out on it?

[Matt]

You tricky devil.

[Giles]

I'd buy one/some.....

@Oaktavia I can’t help laughing at your comment, “Clothing is just so boring to me.” Maybe that’s changed

Hope your new place inspires you to start painting again!

@Giles @ARNC I was embarrassed when she included that quote...I remember thinking it was out of context but I did say it so. Reporters man. I was 19 years old when that article was published.

I publish, paint, teach Fine Art...! The paintings I make are of the same thinking as collecting fades — natural wear, sun bleaching, hard wearing things...IMG_0903.JPG

The books are about collecting a history — mainly a photographic history of Britain and Ireland from 1960ish (two books with American subjects here too), the website is Café Royal Books

This thread is maturing nicely. How did we not think of this sooner?

Yaaaas @Oaktavia!!! I had a feeling you had more up your sleeve after the first post. No doubt pick up the bike and get going again this year.

@craigatkinson so what you are saying is your paintings are continuously evolving even after “finished/framed”? Rad if so

Currently working on a sports stadium series. Fenway Park oil painting nearing the finish line. Just need to finish off the foreground light post and touch up some other areas.

I went to school for design and illustration but I primarily paint with oils now. I currently have these paintings (and others) at Mortal Machine Gallery in New Orleans.
My recent work is all about living in the American Southwest and offering an unidealized view of my home. The Modern West.
