"King Pest"
48" x 48"
acrylic, colored pencil on wood panel
Then I got to this one- aptly titled "King Pest" because it was a glorious pain in my ass. It's a great example of pain and pleasure coming together. But just so you know- this painting ruled me from conception to completion, it dictated how it was going to look every step of the way- but I had a big smile when I was finished.
"Cockfight II"
acrylic & colored pencil on wood panel
I did a new painting of a cropped section of the previous. It brings your eye right up to the tension and reaction. It made the scenario more immediate, and it was cool to add more
shine to the neck of the darker rooster.
"Cockfight I"
The cockfight series came about with the frustration of myself- my two sides fighting for dominance of my actions. It goes deeper than that but let's just say that's where it started.

I love these pieces, they were fun to paint. As I progressed, I learned more with each piece, adding little touches to each one.

"Zebra Heads" ( triptych)
"Zebra Head 1 (albino)"
acrylic on wood panel
Zebra head series arose from indecision. I did little studies of each, progressing each time and adding elements or just trying new tonal colors. After I finished the color sketches, I couldn't decide which one I liked best- so I painted them all.

"L.A. Riots"
original painting (partial 1 & 2)
After the L.A. riots, I painted a piece that epitomized the scene: the sheer anger and violence unleashed upon the local neighborhoods of South Central L.A.
20" x 24"
acrylic & collage on illustration board
I was angry about the cause of it all, but I was more appalled by the results.
My one lasting impression was seeing the sky on fire with so much smoke.
"Free at last"
For the next few days, I am posting paintings that were shown in the "Art Mitzvah show" in December 2007.

"Totem"

For the next few days, I am posting paintings that were shown in the "Art Mitzvah show" in December 2007.
The first series is the giant abstract textiles. Very African in nature and very freeing for me.
I wanted to break from the structure I normally work with and let the emotions, mind, and hands just flow... basically giant doodles.
