I love the behind the scenes of art festivals. All the cool art in tent galleries and behind what you don’t see-where we store the stuff, quickly eat out of view, and chitchat. The artist alley of the 900s section of Coconut Grove, Miami, Fl #art #artfestival #coconutgrovemiami

One of the many lies I tell myself before a show: “Framing won’t take too long. Maybe an hour or so”. Lies. I think this lie reappears because I never think I have enough work for a show. And then I start framing pieces and I’m like “Damn, is this going to fit in the van?”. #art #artfestivals

I make paintings. I create stuff. I build little pockets of peace among the chaos. That said, it feels off kilter to post paintings as if all is fine here in the US, it’s not fine. I don’t need more “shock and awe” chaos news. I need a CALL TO ACTION. Please. America did not elect Elon Musk.

There are times I want to curl up in these images I paint of the past. In this one, I would like to walk past the inch worm and pool, across the lawn and sit down in a lawn chair and talk about nothing in particular with my mom. “1970s Childhood Bingo”, 36x36 inch, oil on canvas
