Busy...Busy...Busy...

Yesterday evening about 5, I returned from running the days errands to find the bottle wall beautifully backlit by the setting sun.

I just "had to" grab my camera for some pics...hee hee...to share with ya!


The temps here are finally getting back up to where it's warm enough again to start playing again on getting the next section of the wall going...the bottle "collecting/ drop offs" seemed a bit slower this season...(not as many snowbirds drinking as much wine this year as last I'm guessing)...but, I think that I've got enough to get the next section done with.






I've been working on a few "other" projects lately...the new set of doors for the shop are nearing completion. I hope to hang them sometime soon. I completed/delivered a commission painting yesterday...and started another one last night. I also have been working on an 8' x 42' wall mural with my daughter this past couple of weeks...it should be finished up within the next few days...will take some pics of it later today for ya.

Have also started a series of car hood paintings... on old rusty hoods that Bev and I collected from out in the desert around here...3 of them are 1950-51 Ford hoods... 2 are 1950 Merc...and 1 is a 1952 Ford...We painted a "tribute" to Sailor Jerry on the '52(a Mermaid)...and I'm currently painting a "tribute" to Vaughn Bode ( his Centaur girl) on one of the Merc hoods ...going to also do a tribute to Ed Roth (yeah a Rat Fink, I think) on yet another one...and then a tribute to Von Dutch ( a winged eyeball, of course!), and to Robert Crumb (Mr. Natural?) on others...All Artists that I admire and who influenced my "learning" years.

I may use these hoods as the "center piece" for the one man show that I've been invited to do over in Tucson this next Fall...uh, "if" that truly does "pan out" as expressed by the gallery owner when he dropped by the studio one evening during "beer thirty"...hee hee... we'll see...

...so...as ya can tell...things are a bit "busy" around Lizard Flatz right now...I love it!

Ya'll try and have a Great Day!...ya hear?
