Sculpture (old piece done for Jeremy)

This piece just became, no thought of how am I going to express my love for my son, I did a small sculpture and it looked like Jeremy. So I just continued on and had fun with it.  2014-12-15 14.55.54

Marks For Now (Abstract)

This is a piece which continues my Random Scribbling Series or Asemic writing. I’m not the best with words so feel comfortable with this kind of mark making. Being a large piece one has to approach it as if it is small to view the details. Wild mark making releases energy from an unknown source, one has to not think and let go. marksfornow_oil_wax_Marks For Now                                      60×72 oil/was on canvas

 

Flooding (El Rancho New Mexico)

It’s was about two months before now that a storm came through that everyone had to get out and look at the raging water. When it rains big here it is a community event. I remember once a little old lady (older than me) drove up to the dip which is depicted in this piece and stopped. She thought a bit and decided to go for it. It would have been fine as it wasn’t too terribly deep but she stopped right in the middle. She was scared of all the water surrounding her car and froze. I was there and a few other onlookers. We knew that she was going to be ok as the water was subsiding and her car wasn’t moving. We called 911 and let them know and waited for someone to rescue her. Someone from the pueblo came and pulled her out. She was a lucky little old lady….

Bordello (Sex Workers)

I have had the pleasure of having a guest in El Rancho that did professional sex work. Don’t ask who as I don’t recall.  I learned a little about the business. Just saying that if the art world doesn’t work out being a dominatrix may be the way to go. I learned it is very hard work and requires extra education. I would need to do an internship with an expert to learn the does and don’t or ins and outs.

After much discussion, I decided to be a Dominatrix specializing in financial art decisions. This would entail going with my client around the world looking at art and being there to dominate when it came to purchasing art. So if you know of anyone who is interested (NO SEX) just dominating on art decision, let me know. I would be very good at this, male or female clients welcome. Of course, a financial statement would be required and personal references. The terms can be worked out for each client. Some call this an art consultant but I prefer to be called an art dominatrix.

ROBE/HOUSE COAT.

A robe is a loose-fitting outer garment. A robe is distinguished from a cape or cloak by the fact that it usually has sleeves. The English word robe derives from Middle English robe (“garment”), borrowed from Old French robe (“booty, spoils”), itself taken from the Frankish word *rouba (“spoils, things stolen, clothes”), and is related to the word rob. FROM WIKIPEDIA

SO THIS IS WHY SO MANY HOUSE COATS ARE TAKEN FROM HOTELS!
