(Yep, I read those ramblings of yourn) The swordfish is a bit of a departure for you. It has movement, but it's much BOLDER than the other pieces like the Moai dudes and the jungley stuff. It really reminds me of a mid-centure mosaic tile picture, with the big chunky bits. Prolly not one of my personal faves, but as they say, that's why they have menus in restaurants. Departures and explorations are good for you. If you painted the same thing over and over, oy, it would be so boring! My favorite stuff. . . Well, you know I love The Sea Monster the best. The stained glass/abstract style is playful and exuberant. I like all the ones with the Moai dudes exploring; most notably The Visit to the Jungle Ruins and Moai King addresses. . ., and this new one, The Waterfall. Here's where you get to do a lot of layering and depth that is a real strong style for you. And the Moai dudes are cute and you get to put a lot of emotion and expression in them, which is fun for you and us, too! And Migration, which I was honored to see in person, was a real stunner. Kids, that piece is BIG and the colors are rich and vibrant. Beautiful in that Boo frame. Do I have enough cash to buy that? Haha! Sadly, probably not. I like the detail in the Solomon Island style pieces like Homecoming and Ceremony of Birds, etc. with that stark contrast between the black outline and detail and the soft color beneath. Those are pieces that remind me of tattoos and tribal art. But they are truely yours with all the meticulous detail, the little highlights and the black outline work. Are there other types of reproductions you could do besides a giclee? Some places do prints on paper that get a texture painted on and they are less expensive. I have an amazing vendor I can send you info on who does art repros all the time and their prices are damn good. Maybe they have another media that might work for your stuff. PM me if you want their info. Well, hell that's more like 15 cents. But there ya go. Sadly, I didn't get to Bab's for the chop, I woke up with a crappy migrane and just couldn't do it. BUT I am working! Rolling around in my big ol mess and playing with putting fabric together! Yay me! I will see you Saturday at the Swordfish show, pal. Till then.
