"in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.  it's the life in your years." abraham lincoln

For my dear friend and extra nice person, Pam Dolan.  One of the recipients of my "do you know this bloke" contest.

I find geese fascinating.  They share our urban landscape with reckless abandon.  Say "hi" to a goose next time you see one...which will probably be sooner than later.

"Superhero Romance" Acrylic on Masonite,  24"x24", 2002

This painting was sold in a 2002 solo show of mine but I had failed to document the image before the opening (I was lazy and documenting with slides at the time which is a pain).  Anywho...I came across a Polaroid a friend of mine, Cecilia took and with a little Photoshop magic I can now file it in the digital archive.  Thank you Odin!

Do you know this bloke??  Post, text or sky-write the correct answer and win a prize (probably some artwork by yours truly).

The painting:  1997 Primary color portrait study, 8"x10" Gauche on Poster Board.  It was a design class project I did while attending Metropolitan State College of Denver (which is now a University...how fancy!).

Saint Valentines Day Card, 4"x7", water color on paper.

For a simple holiday perpetuated by the greeting card companies (so I'm  told)...it is not such a bad thing.  It can't hurt to spread a little love and affection in various directions.

Buy your own hand painted love card for everyone you've ever known that has made you feel warm inside on my Etsy page.

Red Camper Postcard, 4"x7", acrylic and mixed on paper.  Above that is a thumbnail study that was to have the appearance of a stamp for the postcard.  I liked the stamp painting on it's own as a piece which has prompted me to work a series of micro-paintings. 

The postcard was inspired by an anticipated visit to see our friends at the Red Camper studio sometime early 2012.  Possibly someday I will complete that mission.  In the meantime visit them on your own time at www.redcamper.com ... Maura is nice and the site is full of awesomeness.
