Occasionally, I can get it right straight out of the gate. My most recent piece, “Dually Noted”, is an excellent example of that, sometimes rare, phenomenon. When I finished it this past week I got an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for being able to make art. Needless to say, it was a lot of fun to work on and I’m pleased with the result. There is nothing like making some decent stuff to get the self-confidence going again (which I badly needed because I’m “circling the toilet bowl” on another piece I’m working on).

There it goes now …

I’m pondering doing some more stringed instrument themed-paintings, mostly because I pretty much love deploying nails and string in a semi-haphazard fashion.

Fun times ahead. Below are the progress pics from “Dually Noted”. You may notice that it started out as a funky ukulele, which would have been a cool title, but too direct.
