"Budding", 8" x 6", oil on wood, 2011
"Alms for Aunt Bea", 10" x 10", oil on wood, 2011 Two recent paintings of mine, each tweaked towards inclusion in the "Flower Show" at the Indy Indie Artist Colony. Opened tonight, April 1. The Herron Senior Photography show next door has some really good pieces.
The Harrison center has some recent work by Susan Hodgins in Gallery 2 which kickboxed butt. "Institutions" by Austin Dickson is in the main gallery. These photographs must be seen in person, they're paradoxically magical and urban-realismy and utopian. He also had a great piece in the Herron Photography show - his entire BFA portfolio on a ______? (some common electronic device with a 1 or 2 inch screen, the name of which escapes me now.....god, I'm so old). Kyle Ragsdale has amped up his imagery into an extreme levitating Rococo thing.....
Spring art has busted loose, at least in the Delaware-Penn corridor. I'll hit a couple more shows on Saturday.
*Update: Austin Dickson's piece, along with materials info (digital keychain....)

nice!
Tweaked toward inclusion, eh? You just tweak for hire, don't you.
Like these a lot. The sizes seem right. I'm favoring the top one, but....I think it might just be the pointy part of the bottom one that's scaring me off.
In other news, yes, you've coined a new phrase, "kickboxed butt." A little hard to say (I just found out) but a good one.
That would be an interesting collaborative project, having another artist tweak your painting for a specific theme show.
The top image was finished, so I just geared the title towards the show, and adding flower petal-y stuff to the creature blob stuff made sense. I was self-pleased by the "Alms for Aunt Bea" title.
The links for Susan and Kyle are not the works I just saw.
"I was self-pleased by the 'Alms for Aunt Bea' title."
Ha, I didn't catch that before. Nice!

I was going to hijack your comment section for a project idea I've been mulling around, but I will venture over to my blog later and post.
