MAMA’S QUILT

48″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Burlap

 

 

We never had much money growing up.  My brothers and I had to be on the reduced lunch plan at school.  One time we didn’t even have oil to heat the house on Christmas.  I got mad once because I hated the factory job she had to work.  But now, none of that stuff really ever mattered.  We had each other.  We had our health.  We had our mama’s “quilt” wrapped around us so tight that nothing could hurt us.  So, tomorrow don’t forget to pay tribute to mom.  I love you mom…

16″ x 20″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

 

The fly.  The jelly.  The Jelly Fly.  Is it a creature?  Is it a new dance?  I think it’s a band.  Yeah, a friend of a friend say he saw them and they were pretty good.  Naw man, I recon tha Jelly Fly is a new lure dat’s out right ’bout now fo’ fishin’.  I thought it was a brand of hair gel.  I guess I could be wrong.

BROKEN

Why must he cry those lonely tears?  Why does it have to be so hard?  You can see the pain in his face as she walks out the door.  You can see the love that he has pouring out onto the floor.  He bled for her.  He fought for her.  He loved her.  He will always love her…

OLIVE LOAF

This one is kinda cool.  Not that it is one of my favorites that I have made so far, but because it is on video.  Yes, that’s right.  Click here for the time lapse:  Olive Loaf Time Lapse.  Olive Loaf is brought to you by Kevin Lee Studios.

MORNING SUN  (SOLD)

16″ x 20″ Aerosol on Canvas

 

 

Lots of people flock to the beach to watch the sunset.  I think I’d rather watch it arrive.  It brings the light of a new day filled with something different to us.  I love the morning rays peeking through the window and watching the dust particles that dance on them. There is no doubt I could spend everyday out in the sun.  It’s almost summer and soon we’ll get to spend more time together.

TROIS

12″ x 12″ Aerosol on Canvas

 

 

3.  It’s a magic number.  Yes it is.  Well, at least in a Jack Johnson song it is.  In my life it is too.  Part of one of my nick names has 003 in it, because I am the 3rd member of the Husslafunk Mob.  That’s right, I’m in a mob (don’t try to google it, we’re off the grid).  I’m also the 1st of three brothers in my family.  The third time is a charm.  Of course there is more, but I don’t want to fill the page :)

WHAT I WANTED

11″ x 15″ Mixed Media on Watercolor Paper

 

 

This is not what I wanted to draw.  This is not what I wanted to paint.  Or is it?  Is it the other way around?  This is what I wanted to draw.  This is what I wanted to paint.  I don’t know which I wanted to do or not do, but this is what I came up with.

LINES & DOTS

18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

 

This is a test of the lines and dots system.  First I dropped down some verticals.  Then I crossed over them horizontally.  The grid looked pretty good by itself, but needed a little more.  I put a peg board on top of it and dragged red paint over the board.  This let the red settle into position to finish off Lines & Dots.

GUARDIANS

24″ x 36″ Aerosol on Canvas

 

 

Sometimes I feel like there is something watching over me.  Maybe it’s the spirits of people I used to know in this life.  Maybe they are friends from lives past.  But I know there is something.  Something is watching out for me while I am here.  Thanks guys.

LATE SPRING STORM

30″ x 44″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

Where have all of our April showers been?  I know it is early in the spring, but this is a Late Spring Storm.  It’s got nothing on the storms hitting the Midwest right now.  My prayers go out to everyone affected by the tornadoes.  Stay safe and be strong.

WAITING  (SOLD)

24″ x 44″ Mixed Media on Wood

Sometimes surfing is a waiting game.  The ocean can be as flat as glass or crazy rough with waves coming from all directions.  But we wait.  We wait.  And we wait some more.  Because even if we only ride one wave that day, it make that day a whole lot better.

3 BIRDS

18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Canvas

Rise up this mornin’. Smiled with the risin’ sun. Three little birds Pitch by my doorstep. Singin’ sweet songs. Of melodies pure and true. Sayin’, “this is my message to you-ou-ou:”  Singin’, “don’t worry about a thing. ‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright.”
