As you might have seen previously in this blog,I completed a Food Obsession painting titled If There's a Cure for This, I Don't Want It.
This is part of a series of paintings talking about my food obsessions.
There are certain foods I cannot pass up, even if I'm full. Since this
is a dis-functional relationship with food, I am titling these (and
writing the title into the composition) after phrases within popular
culture that refer to dis-functional relationships. The paint on these
panels is thick and luscious, enticing the viewer to fall into my
emotional state and consume the painting as I would the food depicted.
More of these to come.
If you would like to see a fun time lapse of the different stages of
creating this painting, you can view the 24 second video at this blog entry: https://theartistsbrain.blogspot.com/2018/01/if-theres-cure-for-this-i-dont-want-it.html |

I've been
making some new stretchers for wood panels so I can paint more of these
food paintings. That's been fun. My wood shop is ridiculously filled
with furniture and other stuff from the recent move and construction,
but I still wiggle out some room to make some stretchers. It is
something I enjoy doing. When I was in High School I had a job working
for a guy who made wooden toys. I learned to use a lot of power tools
and have enjoyed doing this type of work ever since.

And... as a
teaser, here is a painting I just completed. It is drying before I take a
picture of it and share with the world. It is leaning against the
canvas that is my next large landscape: 8' x 4'. Getting BIGGER! Having
FUN!
