This piece is the next in the line of my shipping crate paintings (#5 & #6 were damaged in the move to my new studio). As with #3 & #4, these paintings fold together and can be shipped without using any packaging.
If you are interested in buying this painting, I am donating it to the Open Space Alliance of North Brooklyn’s online art auction on December 4th. You can find out more on the auction here. OSA is a great organization that is working hard to increase the green space in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area. You can also thank them for cosponsoring the Pool Parties.

Christmas on Mars
Dimensions: 24″ x 48″
Medium: Enamel on Masonite
While everyone else was out reveling on Saturday night, I was toiling away making sure my paintings were ready to hang at Fitness Together. As a reward, I drank what some would consider a little too much calvados, put the complete works of the Flaming Lips on shuffle and painted this. I really like the area just right of center, I think it looks like a Morey Eel.
I would love to give this painting to Wayne Coyne, if you are Wayne Coyne, know Wayne Coyne, or know someone who knows Wayne Coyne, I would appreciate any help you can give in helping me accomplish this mission.

The Bacchae
Series Title: The Bacchae- Pentheus, Dionysus, and Thyrsus
Medium: Oil Enamel on Masonite
Size: 48″ x 24″ each
I did not intend intend for these paintings to be a series but when I placed them side by side this past Friday, I could not get over the affect caused by them as one unit. I guess you can chalk it up to gestalt if you lean that way, but regardless these painting vibrate together. I’ve named it the Bacchae as it is a celebration of so much of what I have been working toward with my foray into painting. Instinctual forms that embrace the materiality of the medium and create a visual experience that surpass the sum of its parts.
