We are SOOOO on the same page!!! I am all about learning from each other and celebrating the styles and beauty and darkness and mystery of this lost medium. I am also wanting to introduce this to the Gallery in Hawaii and I will be honest, they are a little nervous!! lol We need to reintroduce the reputation of this and open up the minds of people as to black velvet paintings.

The days of pink panthers, matadore's and poorly painted Elvis' or is it ("Elvi") are gone. Leeteg was one of the pioneers showing how the medium could be brought to new levels. Let's try to carry the torch a bit here and see where it goes with some of us newer artists.

Can you imagine what an incredible show could be done if we had 3-5 velvet artists exhibit?? The show would be dark and rich..mysterious and sensual.... Makes me want to go out and buy a vintage velvet Jacket and duke it up good!!

Anyways..I am getting too into this and need to take a chill pill.

Thanks again, Robb...I still say you are the Velvis of the Velveteers!!
