First I paint them, then I set them on fire. It never gets old. Own the thrill of unauthorized fire without the risks of real life pyromania!
I had leftover magenta, orange and green paint and an hour left in my work day. We had just visited our friends’ new home, a deconsecrated Presbyterian church. I painted a wild-colored little picture of it and loved it, so I painted every church I have ever called home, from childhood, through Pentecostalism into adulthood and… deconsecration. I learned (from my friends in the ex-church, who are painters) that this style is called Fauvist, from the French word Fauve, meaning wild beast. Perfect.
Corn
Every year in the Crop Arts room at the state fair, I admire the dried corn while I’m waiting in line to see the seed art. Last years I took pictures so I could make these paintings.
Beans
A friend gave me seeds that grew bright red-orange flowers and huge, delicious purple and grey variegated beans. One of the plants produced peach flowers and cream and brown beans. Each year I pick out the best beans to save as seed and I make chili with the rest. Last fall they were so beautiful that I had to paint them, amplifying the colors ever so slightly.
I cleaned out the basement of a house where a carpenter had lived and got to keep a bunch of rusty saws. I like to paint them with scenes far removed from the country scenes usually depicted on saw blades; things like midways and urban scenes.
I can create something similar for you by request.
