I had a little contest today and gave away a free breen. I emailed my list that I would post a painting on ebay at a 'buy it now' price of a dollar between 4 and 6pm, and people were refreshing my painting list on Ebay every minute or so. I created this masterpeice in the car while my wife drove to Brimfield yesterday, and the more extreme bumps in the road are recorded in the piece as though it were a painted seismograph. The text says, 'In art-hell you must paint motif#1 over and over!'



Tromafan, who is always bottom fishing for the breen bargain, snagged the painting in short order. The idea was for someone who DOESN'T ALREADY OWN one of my paintings to get it, but I guess I'll have to do another contest outside of Ebay so I can make sure a deserving soul (one who is currently breenless) can win. I really can't fault one of my biggest fans for snapping at a breenish treat dangled so enticingly, but my contest needs work.

I've been getting lots of hits lately because of an article that came out in the June issue of Yahoo Internet Life. It's not in electronic form yet, so I can't link to it- but I will when it does. I'm off to Brimfield today to ferret out some prebreen material. Brimfield is probably the largest flea-market in the United States and is held 3 times a year in Western Massachusetts. It's gotten kind of pricey as of late, however, so I'm not sure what I'll come up with.

For some reason I'm getting hit silly today and hordes of people are swarming this site. This has provided me with the impetus to update my site with a new gallery featuring stuff I've painted over the past few months. So ladies and gentlemen, here is Gallery 11.

I wasn't sure what to do with this portrait at first, she really wasn't talking to me - probably in an effort to buy time. But I gave her the flame-person treatment hoping some idea would kick loose in my brain. I tried to get fancy on her nose but only managed to glob it up. So to hide my mistake, I put a third eye there. This of course was the spark I needed to jump-start the process. 'Ellen's third eye was on her nose, watching her mouth to make sure she said nothing unwise!' Everything else then fell into place.

AFTER BREENING



This new breen can be purchased on EBAY.
