eddie said it is "watermelon"



this surprised me, sort of an on the edge out of control painting, as in, not exactly planned, or planned at all

rather, a series of moves, that are in reaction to previous and further moves, all slightly in the "oh shit" where is this going, how to save it, how to keep it alive, until, OK, STOP, done

so what surprised me, was the reaction, to me, it is rather unusual

turns out, getting positive critical response

which good, as want to take this further

which is scary, as the process to make this is not repeatable in any normal way that I think of, other than, do another OH crap edge of disaster painting which will not look like this one, at all

3 "tree paintings"



valuable for me to see ALL the works together on the painted wall, instead of one-at-at-time in my little kitchen studio

thanks to Bob Cool for providing ice cream sandwiches at Kaleid Gallery TANGLE opening


a big THANK YOU to Bob Cool of KICKS COOKIES + ICE CREAM for providing samples! yes, samples of his delicious ice cream sandwiches in innumerable flavors.

Bob & his wife are big supporters of the San Jose art scene. Wanted to do something for us. In return, I was happy to hand out samples, and everyone was more than happy to eat them.

They delivered freezer, Maria cut the sandwiches in quarters, then, wearing a white apron, walked around with them on a silver tray.

Again, a big thank you to Bob Cool, I know I and many others at Kaleid look forward to working with you on further events - Matthew
