"The Bohemian Club"

An idea on a crumpled piece of paper. All the best ones are...

I finished a painting today. I don't paint as often as I should or would like, and this being my first large format creation, the stars seemed aligned. For months I have been toiling away at this big monster of a canvas - full of owls, dark nights, big moons and all the lovely creepiness my little hand could paint.

Kids, always remember, don't paint drunk.

In the end, i cherish it for many reasons. My son loved watching me paint it, my wife guided my hand when I didn't know where to put the brush next, and for as hard as it was during the stumbling stages, I sang when it was done. The sweet brushes and canvas good vibes from great friends didn't hurt.

Finished! "The Bohemian Club" Acrylic on very large canvas, 2010
