I Wish That I Still Had Some of These Works of Art, Part 3
This is the final installment of this series of blog posts. More weirdness from the early days. All of this work was created before or around 2003.
This was made on the back of a tablet of paper. Roughly 7”x5” or "9”x6” as I recall. And it sold, at a show at Mr. Henry’s, a restaurant in the Eastern Market locale of Washington, D.C. Still love that place!
This early piece was acrylic and oil paintstick on a framed bulletin board (functional art!). This one also sold at a show in D.C. (at the old Eastern Market exhibition space), but I never did find out who purchased it. I hope it is still out there somewhere in the world!
This two-panel piece measured 80”x30”. It was part of a two-person show, with Jayme Theis, at Otherwise Art Gallery, curated by Alison Alfredson, in Old Town Lansing in 2003. It was my first show of paintings.
This painting was on masonite, 36”x48”. It was also part of that early Otherwise show. I think the painting was called Popular Disposition. Copy & Paste was just too obvious, haha. I was very fond of this painting.
In my mind, this is perhaps one of the strangest paintings I have ever made. It was in a show at Spiderhouse Gallery in Old Town Lansing in 2003, I think. There is no doubt in my mind that I painted over this one, haha.
