Fresh Art 2006

For the last 3 years, I have participated in Fresh Art. A fundraising activity for the Behringer Crawford Museum in Covington, KY. It's a great event where artists create a work of art in Devou park, where the musuem is located. At the end of the day, the artworks are exhibited in the musuem. The event concludes with dinner and an auction of the art for the musuem.
I decided to try something different this year. Rather than paint in the traditional "plein air" tradition, I followed the footsteps of Chagall and Matisse, and let my imagination help paint the painting. While looking at Cincinnati's skyline, I painted "porkopolis". I am glad that I tried something different. The painting won an honorable mention in the exhibit, and it auctioned for $300.
I will have prints of this painting available soon.

Bad BAD BLOGGER!!!

Sorry, I've been a Bad BAD blogger.
I've left everyone wondering if i ever got home from my ridiculous bike trip to madison, IN. The third day was the most difficult. I did not sleep well the night before. It was hot, and mosquitoes were eating me through the hammock. I woke up to rain, and when 40-50 miles from home, I had a flat tire, and a hard time getting it repaired. Long story short. It was a lot of fun, and you can do whatever crazy thing you set your mind to! I enjoyed the trip, and will do it again. Too bad I didn't have a waterproof camera (you'd laugh at the picture of me soaking wet on the side of a road with a flat tire!)
