Stuff, Scary and Otherwise

SCARY FACES

"12 steps to nowhere"
12" x 12" oil on canvas

I liked this painting OnCe, BUT now I really really don't like it.
I'm glad it isn't in my house otherwise I would cut it up or paint over it.
You ever feel like that about a piece of work?
I called it 12 steps to nowhere because it was based on the story of the first great migration north by African Americans in which many trying to escape the tyranny in the south found it on a roadside ditch traveling up north.

SCARY STORIES
How about THIS story about the dangers of Plastic Surgery and being dragged off to a mental hospital against your will.
Talk about
tyranny.

Stuff in the Studio
OH! I came up with a title for my embroidery
"the prick who came to dinner"
It sort of alludes to a once famous play called "the man who came to dinner"
about Sheridan Whiteside, an "insufferably arrogant radio personality"

THE OTHERWISE PART

Got most of the knit graffiti up, just need to add a few more flowers, but rain thwarted the jafagirls efforts and we had to make a dash for it.

Well Carpe Diem folks
