Off The Top Of My Head

The holidays are coming and I want a small stock of easily produced and sold works. It's the perfect opportunity to use the stash of fabric scraps I bought from Arts and Scraps on Harper in Detroit and make one or two paintings a day for a while.

"A House Divided"

"The Wheel of the Earth Turns To The Sun"

"Eye Eye, Captain!"

"The Fates"

"Byzantium"

"The Mermaid"

"Two Women"

"Prey" (The tank rumbling across the horizon doesn't show very well in this photo, but it's there.)


All paintings on Arches paper in acrylic, fabric and beads.

Jester


“The artist is still a little like the old court jester. He's supposed to speak his vicious paradoxes with some sense in them, but he isn't part of whatever the fabric is that makes a nation.”

-William Faulkner
