The First Sip
How did I miss that???
It made me thirsty, so I made a drink...

Jon

Glad this thread and these lil paintings
inspired a nice relaxing reprise from the ordinary...
Who gets to take the first sip?
that tense moment until SOMEBODY steps in
and Sluuuuurp!

Well....Gettin ready for a solo show in June
so i've been the lil busybee
doing that
and handling a rigorous day gig...

There's a New gallery in bakersfield
called the Sideshow gallery
Toe,myself and a bunch of other demented painters
are hanging there...
if you're in that area,go check it out
it's on Buck Owens Drive
Which is WAY cool in itself!
El-Freakin-Paso!
:)

Soooo
Here's a Brand NEW painting i shuffled off to them last Saturday

"THE BATTLE OF NIGHT AND DAY"
cel-vinyl and acrylic on wood
21x20"
with a beautifully craftted Mikel Parton (empee) frame!

the image alone

This was part of my kid's book
that i never wrote
so i figured a painting
would lock it into my memory banks
when that time arrives....

Here's the Sun and moon struggling over the Night Sky....

This Tiki is pretty much just photobombing the picture
He just popped up and wouldn't move,so here he is...

This piece was real fun and loose
Big Swathes of color before the images were fleshed out...
Wheeee!

Here's the hut in a warm twilight sunset sunrise glow

A Volcano and some Palms watchiong lazily over this daily struggle....

Here's the EXACT point where Night meets Day...
Like i said before..it was a BLAST playing so ROUGH with the background colors and shapes!

Some foliage and ground

That's all i got NEW this week Tiki-wise...
Tho....if you would be so kind
allow me this small pitch

I will be having a SOLO show
Friday June 7th
"Sacred and Profane"
at the the Egan gallery
(that's 2 "the"s)
223/225 Santa Fe at the Magowski Arts Colony
Downtown Fullerton CA
6 to 10 pm

This will have SOME Tiki work,
but a LOT of what i was painting the 15-some years
BEFORE tackling Tiki with Full Force...

Here's a Brand New painting for the show

"the Battle of the Fish"

Not Tiki
more Han Dynasty stone-carvings,if you ask me....
Again..not Tiki
but still shows my love of ALL myths and folklore and Art...

Here's a Flyer to the upcoming show
if you aren't at ink and Iron
C'mon Down and say "Hello!"
Thank yuo for the indulgence....
:)
