ART WEBSITE!!!

Finally I got a website for my artwork! It's small right now but I'll be growing it soon. I'll buy more space and get it going. I think this is the best way to go.

I'm going to continue to work with Coastal Bend Artists but I'm not going to be showing my paintings any more. If I show anything I'll be doing photos.

I'm pretty good at composition and I've gotten some really great shots but I'm not a PHOTOGRAPHER. I don't have fancy equipment or software but I know what I like and I do a good job. Besides, my feelings aren't nearly as hurt if no one buys my photos as opposed to my paintings....when no one buys my paintings I do get kind of hurt.

I put a lot of thought and emotion into my work. I'm not just slapping shit together. But I suppose people prefer something they can see something real in....does that make sense?

I'm not that big on reality, so yeah.....I'll snap a photo for realism but if I'm painting rare is the realism.

Aurora Arts Theater

The Aurora Arts Theater is a great place to catch good live theater and good art! Myself and many other of my fellow artists have works displayed at the theater. Here are the three I have on display and for sale at Aurora.

Also please check out the Aurora's production Godspell! It's playing now until May 15th!

This is "Temper, Temper", it's a 30 x 40" acrylic on canvas piece.

It is actually a darker, moodier painting than I captured it here but I couldn't make it come out right. That's why I'm a painter and not a photographer.

This is "Preconceived Notions" it's a multi-medium piece in that it has plaster, glass, sumi ink, and acrylic paints.

This is "Vintage" and its an odd piece. A friend of mine gave me this canvas board and it already had the bird and branch painted on it. It's an old painting and who did it? God only knows. But what I did was put a wash of yellow and added the color patches that surround the subject. I feel that I did take something that was vintage and a little mundane and made it more contemporary. I enjoyed this process and I may do it again.

Godspell

Book by John Michael Tebelak Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz

Based on The Gospel According to St. Matthew Conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak, with music and new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, "Godspell" is one of the biggest off-Broadway and Broadway successes of all time.Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, and featuring a sparkling score by Stephen Schwartz, "Godspell" boasts a string of well-loved songs, led by the international hit, "Day By Day." As the cast performs "Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All For The Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side," the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and hearteningly to life.Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, "Godspell" is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a message of kindness, tolerance and love.(Synopsis obtained from http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000217.)
