Well, I'll tell you...
It's kind of soft, and full of roses, and there's a bright light, and I hear strains of a Viennese quartet...

It should be basic Johnny Cash black, like It's always been. It looks that way to me...
ToiletDuk, I've been busy painting and relaunching my art career...
My new work has become quite psychedelic...

Sure, here's some larger paintings...
   I've been meaning to update my livejournal blog, but it's a little out of date... PS: I think I've been gone about 2 years, but I'm not sure. Time has little meaning where I am...

Welcome back! 
Those are some very cool paintings.

Those are pretty good. I like the first two; they remind me of evergreen forests. They look kind of like abstractions of ancient Chinese paintings.
Too bad I can't see them in person. You can tell the texture is important in layered paintings like that.

I forgot all about smorking blobbigans. That's some far out stuff, like smoking crawdads! The toughest thing is getting the crawdad to fit in the pipe...
Hey, Krishna! 
PinballWiz, the Taoist calligraphers, especially those of the Tang dynasty, are very important to me, as are the Abstract Expressionist painters of the 1950s, so there's a bit of everything in the work...
I think the titles are: "Rule 110," "Serengeti," and "What God Wants..." They are all about 3x4 feet in size. I'm going to start working bigger in June, though; maybe expand my studio space and work on larger unstretched canvas...
