It Was Sweet, It Was Just Like Sugar

"It Was Sweet, It Was Just Like Sugar" - mixed media on wood panel, 11" x 18" x .5" . Ready to hang (back has been pre-wired for hanging).  Available here and at Artfinder.

I wonder if your world-at-home is becoming as outrageously ridiculous as ours?

Over the weekend, Brian introduced me to the song "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago" which I somehow missed during my childhood (how did THAT happen?) and seems to be rather an anthem for the current plague, which I will now call "eggplant". :)

​The natives (us, of course) were getting restless, so we had piles of landscape paint (er, um, soil and mulch) delivered and spent a couple of days creating yard beauty in the rain.  Which made actual art painting seem a lot less physical and therefore more likely to be tackled with enthusiasm.  Back to the studio we go.
Now, get yourself a little chicago-eating eggplant tune rolling through your head....

​About the painting: gray-scale gesso'd wood panel  layered with acrylic, acrylic mixed with gesso and oil pastels.  Tools used include rubber wedge, paper towel, chopstick, brush and fingers.

I'll keep saying is wow with each new piece. I think the new colors reflect the happiness and harmony in your world. Even self quarantine can't keep you down.

OMG, I have never heard that song before either! And sad to say, it does sound an awful like what is happening not only in Chicago, so many other places as well! He must have still been hungry! The painting is fabulous, the colors are yummy, and I love how you explain your process. Just lovely, snapped up quickly I see! Xoxo

Eggplant one of favorite foods! Nothing like fried eggplant and tachina (sesame paste) with a few black Greek olives on the side. Great diagonals and a bright light positive glow!

Here's the blue wild, where
tiny dreamers ride beasts, speak
​ birdsong, hold the moon.
