the title for this painting is "swimming in the chaos for which there exists much testimony".  i feel as if this is a style of painting that i would like to explore more.  i was happy to sell this artwork to a local warrior artist friend of mine before the show was even hung. 

when i returned from burning mickey man mouse i had poison oak on my balls, my father was in the ICU with liver failure and I had to paint 500 2"x2" paintings and a few larger ones in one month.  it was like a vision quest for me.  i had to just focus on the art through the itch and the personal emotional work and the physical toil.  i had to take breaks from painting just to go and soak my junk in oatmeal baths and make frequent calls to the mayo clinic.

below is a detail of the painting.  i started this one with my first foray with an airbrush.  none of the airbrush work is visible.  i just used it to "draw" with.  i am going to explore this more.  the one thing that holds me back with visual art is how slow it is compared to my brain.  i would like to have a paintbrush on each finger that would automatically load itself with good quality oil paint.  i am a very fast painter.  i paint like i write.  i try not to edit too much.  i allow the paint and the surface and my intention to come together and dance in front of me.  i want to be surprised as much as i want you to be surprised.
