There was no plan for this piece. I made a frame, stretched some canvas and started gelling on pieces from a discard copy of J. D. Salinger’s RAISE THE ROOF BEAM HIGH, CARPENTERS. When it became clear that was going nowhere, on went some paint.
It almost stopped with the lightbulb, but something was missing. Why would all eyes in this painting be staring at lightbulb? (And what is it with me and monsters, anyway? Sheesh.)
Bruce mentioned a trick he learned at college: if a painting is giving you trouble, look at it in a mirror. Seeing the work in a different way might make the problem clear.
And damnit if that didn’t work.

Thanks to my pal Bruce Bachelder for framing the third-to-latest Still Life With Monster painting. (see the full-size original here, then go check out Bruce’s gallery over at the Fine Arts Guild site.)
I gave the framed piece to our friend Holly who liked it so much she hung it in her Hall Of Art.
Thanks for putting Monster in with such august company, Holly.

Monster’s roaring rage
shakes the tender bonsai leaves
but they are not moved

Two more in what seems to be either an ongoing series or a running joke. Time will tell. (Click on image for detail.)
Also included in the gallery are some other gouache pieces that have been accumulating in the sketchbook. No rhyme or reason behind these; just fun with paints. (Click on image for detail.)
