One Spot Left for Hacienda Workshop

May 31st, 2011

There’s only one spot left for my workshop in Mexico this December. I know I had made a wait list for this, but it looks like I misplaced it. So if you were on that list, contact me asap if you want to go. After this spot is filled I will start a new waitlist, and I’ll try not to lose it this time.

More info on the workshop can be found by clicking here.

New Large Work

May 22nd, 2011

You might remember when I posted this “finished” painting…

Well I had a little attack session on it, and now its really finished…

and here are the progress shots…. (it started as a shark. This first shot is a few layers in..)

^^^this is what I called finished..^^^

..but then I decided to flip it upside-down and kill it..

and now its really finished…

see the example - alignment guided by intention - the difference between fear and patience - i know a shark when i see one - someones catching all the fish - once more in the fishers net - never again - ill find food in the sea - treasure chest pirates claws and wooden legs - hang it like a big catch to remind yourself never again - bear traps and hooks that barb - i will stand with the trees - here signs are clear - not tired just tired of you - you know who you are, the one that makes people sick - goodbye - i will hang the shark as a reminder of you - kumague will watch for you - transformation shark - man turns from, shark, to whale - submerged - now at home in the ocean - he always dreamed of becoming a whale - yes no - farsight - blindspot - do not judge the future out of time - what is connected and what is not - intention over direction - purpose and truth align as strength - guarded by spirits, snakes, and skeletons - mistakes are clearer then precision - continuous - remember the signs - Ouija - Yes Yes Yes - beartrap - gold before paper - be aware of your growth - you are a large fish - you can swim the ocean further than the land - the phoenix guided by orions belt - i dont know what that means but i can feel it - im sure you can feel me - my desire has out weighed destiny many times - skeletons do not scare me. snakes do not scare me. sharks do not scare me. whales do not scare me - you are either full or empty - when you are not afraid you are full - whale fin - remove - tell your future - what do you think of death? - i dont. - who new this is where it would end? 50" x 72" on canvas acrylic, oil pastel, pencil
