bunny rock....

Anyone close to me knows that I have this connection with bunnies....so it was no surprize to receive this picture of a rock from my mom (who collects rocks...along with other members of my family...I never got the rock enthusiast gene, so I spend my time poking fun at them...or as I call it "rock mocking").

It took me awhile to see the bunny at first...probably because my sister sent me the pic as a huge file and I only saw the top corner at first and then had to navigate over to find the dark spot...and then what I focused on was something that looked like an eye of a lizard....then it looked like a creature from Bart Simpson....

Once I resized the image, I was able to see the bunny...
a glorious little brown bunny...just like the ones that pop out of no where to visit me.

patience my child....

been waiting for paint to dry......

after painting over my first attempt....

here is the final verdict......

working backwards....

Do you ever feel like you are working backwards?
Like having an art show for instance....

I think the regular progression of having an art exhibition would be to:
- paint a body of work...
- let it sit and gel...
- touch up as needed....
- contemplate the theme...
- pick the best pieces...
- set the time and date...
- book the show

as opposed to my experience:
- show gets booked (sometimes without my knowledge)...
- feature piece is frantically painted for the magazine promo...
- theme is contemplated (this is where my crystal ball comes in handy)...
- paint the rest of the paintings and pray that they match the theme and are dry in time for the show!

Well...I have to say...what ever my experience...the universe never lets me down. I was given a couple of days notice to come up with a feature piece and a theme and this is what arrived:

44 DEEP - an introspection of the layers of our life experience or perhaps our surrounding aura. Excavating through the layers of paint (sometimes 44 layers deep) is like a journey inward searching for the truth.

butterfly tattoo

I am really enjoying the tattoo design work...
maybe I could do this full time (?)
anyone hiring??

I just finished some new paintings....
they will be going up to Edmonton for Capital Ex
