THUSDAY, at lunch

Mary Carapoulis sneezed on Jeffrey Balco's tuna and peanut butter sandwich. She told me she's allergic....to certain cooties incubating on a certain boy who is so utterly unpopular that her nasal passages flare into a snotty rage.

40 years later....

You might be aware that only one or two veterans are still alive from WWI. And the countdown has a certain gravitas that makes one introspective.

One day Woodstock will have such a countdown and I'll be laughing my ass off.

Old School: Dispute

baseball1.jpg

I came across a few baseball pieces I did a few years ago and I think they have a certain romance and nostalgia that is refreshing.

This is the first of four pieces I did based on America's Pastime. Look for the rest of them this week.

RIVERSIDE

Riverside.jpg

72" x 18"
oil on canvas
$900

This is recently finished painting that's part of a Southern gothic theme I've been developing for my October 3rd show at Sylvia's 120 Sycamore Place Gallery. I'm titling the show "The Southerness".

I have mentioned on my other painting posts that I've been working on a body of work that focuses on my memories growing up in the South. I'm twelve finished pieces into this endeavor and I think it has been a wonderful way to explore the enigmatic nature of this region.

TRESTLE
