      @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 IMG_0898.JPG IMG_0887.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 Tony-Bock-Toronto-1970-72-web1200f.jpg Barry-Lewis-Atlanta-1995-web1200f.jpg Patrick-Ward-Manplan-Two 2nd 090223web1200.jpg Richard Gaunt Wales 1970 1975web1200.jpg

          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.

                                  wow, really great stuff all over this forum, this is my first time diving into all the non-denim stuff, and I'm in awe at the scope of passion this community has for all crafts. Here's one of mine!

                                    One of my goals this summer was to make a painting of our boy Indigo. He passed last month. My wife and I are going to make a shrine for him in the house, with the painting as the center piece. Here is my first hour or so into the painting.

                                        @Oaktavia sorry to hear about your boy. The painting is a beautiful tribute, and has really captured his essence and character based on the photograph 😊

                                            Very sorry for you and your wife’s loss. Your capturing indigo’s energy beautifully 💙Hopefully the process is therapeutic for you as well.
