Reproduction for auction


I did this early last fall. A Gaugin reproduction. Painters and other artists in my town were asked to do reproductions for an auction to raise money for an artist run gallery. Of course we would get some cash also. Sometimes I think I would do just about anything for some quick $$, free food or unlimited booze - Some would call this just socializing. It's a small town.

Old Abstraction 2002 summer, I Think


My sister had this painting I did in school quite a while back. All the rest are in the garbage and a few surivive on slides. It was a very cool summer and we had the studio spaces to ourselves. 2 in a room with attached rooms. We would come up with a ridiculous process, stick with it, and create a series of paintings. When this was done we started over with something new. My friend came up with a series of wrinkle paintings at the time with a cool but very stinky technique which has close similarities to some R Morris stuff. Its actually freaky - I wish I had some images.
