"Ages Study"copyright 2005 Ray Caesar
One of my favorite "painters", Ray Caesar is having a big show of 50 images that opens next week at the Richard Goodall Gallery .
Here's a preview. I hope my friends in the U.K. will make it to this one! Ray has a book coming out, too. More info on the gallery website. (This is Leonard Cohen's Gallery, too, and you know I LOVE him.)

Mark Frauenfelder's Blue-eyed Devil Girl

"Hot Stuff" copyright 2007 Mark Frauenfelder

I could not resist posting this painting called "Hot Stuff" by Mark Frauenfelder of Boingboing. I love the freckles and the eyes on this alluring blue creature. Mark is in a devil-themed group show at CoproNason Gallery in September.

Only one week left to go and see my Lolita paintings in person if you live near Culver City, CA (inspired by the book by Vladimir Nabokov). The Literartistry Show will be up until September 5, 2007. Contact Corey Helford Gallery for times and location. This is an excellent show with many fine artists. Check out the L.A. Weekly Slideshow of the exhibit. Wallpaper also has a slide show on it's website. My next showing in L.A. will be in November 2007.

Vintage Beer Trays

I have this colorful Mexican Beer Tray (the one in the middle photo) hanging on my kitchen wall. I love that gal. It's a repro. The other two are images of antique trays that I found surfing the auction sites.

"Roaming Tomcat Rag" Print

"Roaming Tomcat Rag" painting copyright 2006 by Amy Crehore

I expect to issue some new prints in the near future - all very limited edition, signed giclees. The image above, "Roaming Tomcat Rag", will hopefully be available in September, so watch for that. This was the very the first in my series of "Blues Gals" paintings and it was exhibited in the 2nd Blab Show and featured on boingboing. I call it "my girl with the red guitar". The yellow-green grass is sort of a trademark for me now. I will also be in a show in November that has nature as a theme, so I'm excited about that. See more of my art here:

P.S. Boingboing blog has a new design and here is Mark's new painting.

They opened their comments section, so I decided to try it as well.

Hay in Art

Hay in Art

Yes, it's a whole website devoted to HAY!!! Piles of hay! Paintings, photos, books about hay, poetry for hay-lovers, a database for hard-core hay scholars. Your horse will love it and so will you. There are actually many, many masterworks depicting haystacks. Hay is amazing. Hay is beautiful. Hay is Art.
