2008 live paintings thus far (to be updated as they are added)





whee. a new year.
new paintings.
embarking on a voyage of color through sound.
"got no lands guided by magic hands....."
i know where these paintings come from. i know where they have been. i'm falling more and more in love with the act of creating over the past years.... at first a little apprehensive-but gradually finding a voice.
i do not have any pre-thought- i literally put the paint to canvas and just go. meditation in motion.

ive calmed my soul to such a degree doing these i need to take a few days to recover afterwards, its an outpouring and inpouring all at the same time- a massive energy exchange of cosmic proportion.


so i will add them for the year as i go.....

heres the offerings so far::::


8/26/08 - Bear's Picnic - PA
Painted live to the music of Juggling Suns/ Moonalice
Had issues with a last minute canvas purchase- sub par art supplies are a real pain. But I made it work the best I could - now G.E> Smith to me was a legend- the years of him playing on SNL were my favorites. Meeting him was absolutely amazing! He - as well as Jack Cassady and Barry Sless signed my painting. Will I sell it? No way.



8/1/08- - painted live @ Gathering of the Vibes::






Zappa Plays Zappa (with the bottom left being partially painted by li'l one Azalea"


















































































Umphrey's McGee- 8/3/08- GOTV


























stonehenge:: 6/20/08-- a very interesting night. outside:: in the woods:: lots of things surrounding me energy-wise. got to the point where the painting itself physically spoke. i had to take a break at that point and give some time to breathe, this painting got sold the very next day. it had a certain love to it- a calmness. a creative spirit where it spoke on its own. enjoy
























april 26th, 2008::some kind of jam 3.... kempton,pa








painted alongside CRB onstage...onstage!!! HOLY SHIT!!...now I am terrified of being onstage while painting- but jon promised me he would stand by me. and he did. splattered paint on me too- but i dont care- it's all relative. this was done to juggling suns during a blitering set. Ive never painted onstage before, and i doubt i will again, but the energy is so completely different than anything. it's a high, but i'd rather much be down below. or behind a curtain like the wizard of Oz :0) this one isn't for sale, the husband fell in love with it and isn't ready to part with it anytime soon ;)








feb. 29 2008- juggling suns @ surf taco-jackson,nj




(yes- you may think a taco joint in a strip mall is no big deal, but the VIBE of the place and the VIBE of everyone there was probably the most comfortable i've ever felt. love these guys- love their love...rock on) I will be there in the future..... painted to Juggling Suns- total time: 2.5 hours




















Cabin Fever 2008::






This canvas- painted to both bands U-Melt and Juggling Suns.... I painted next to my cosmic soul brother Crazyredbeard ... both him and i have numerously painted side by side...ive found my painting twin in him. i hardly look at what he's painting while the shows are being played---but when we get done, we seem to mirror image each other a lot. i like to say we have telepathic tin cans and string.

















my painting of that evening is here...U-melt's set was painted on top/ Juggling Suns is on the bottom. (this painting has been sold)....secret messages are also painted in glo in the dark paint. only visible with xray vision!!* or unless you have a blacklight.










you can see crazyredbeard's painting here

more paintings to follow as i go.
