death by Canadiana

Have been painting so many canoes, lakes, usually kind of grim, gothic. More my Swiss angst than the last piddling puddle of West Coast funk I like to think I am still a tiny part of. Hmm. And always struggling stupidly with the figure in the canoe, if there is one. Finally, it dawned on me a few days ago. It's got to be related to the drowning of Howard, my friend who drowned this spring, in front of his beautiful ancestral home in St. Agathe. He was an artist. Not remotely successful or known. But he was an incredible outdoorsman. Hiked around and slept outside in a million below weather. And he went canoing just a bit too early one Spring morn and the ice got him.

what's the beef

It was the end of the world, cows were eating cows, skeletal cows with huge predator teeth, ripping each other open. And humans, crazy, addicted to the oily, yellow, rotting hunks of beef. A few resisted. Some shot themselves with some sort of anti-beef serum. To eat the toxic meat was sure death.

allo look up, look way up. this is what you see every day. this is what you live every day. this is me, my start up everymorning, doing an "eye in the sky"painting. And did I mention I'm working my butt off my butt off towards my show in Dec. Concept -- smorgasbord...a bit of this a bit off that...an intimate portrait, a Delacroix in the storm. Uh-huh.
