Life Stands Still
Creating a still-life is rarely an exciting endeavor for me, but I cannot argue with the fact that rendering an object from life is an invaluable exercise. When you see how an object behaves in its own space, you gain a better understanding of how similar objects will behave as you prepare to render a scene from your own imagination. Ok, that's enough Art Theory babble... Here are a few of my still life compositions:

2004
In 2004 I was living in a dormitory on the University of Louisville campus. During that time a musician friend introduced me to an obscure Jimi Hendrix song called "The stars that play with laughing Sam's dice" I was jamming out to that tune when I created this piece. I think Mr. Hendrix would have approved. His lyrics follow:
The stars up above that play with laughing Sam's dice
They make us feel the world was made for us
The zodiac glass that beams come through the skies
It will happen soon, for you
And away we go Yeah
Thank you very much
And now we would like to bring to you our wide lonely friendly neighborhood
Experience me
Right now listen
The milky way express is loaded, all aboard
I promise each and every one of you you won't be bored
What I'm really concerned about
Is my grand-new pair of butterfly roller skates
Thank you, thank you
No throwing cigarette butts out the window
Now if you look to your right you'll see Saturn
If you look to the left you'll see Mars
I hope your brought your parachutes with you
Hey look out!
Look out for that door
Don't open that door
Oh well
That's the way it goes
Hey, everything is all right now
They make us feel the world was made for us
The zodiac glass that beams come through the skies
It will happen soon, for you
And away we go Yeah
Thank you very much
And now we would like to bring to you our wide lonely friendly neighborhood
Experience me
Right now listen
The milky way express is loaded, all aboard
I promise each and every one of you you won't be bored
What I'm really concerned about
Is my grand-new pair of butterfly roller skates
Thank you, thank you
No throwing cigarette butts out the window
Now if you look to your right you'll see Saturn
If you look to the left you'll see Mars
I hope your brought your parachutes with you
Hey look out!
Look out for that door
Don't open that door
Oh well
That's the way it goes
Hey, everything is all right now

This mischievous green bunny has made is way into several pieces as the years have gone by... But this is his debut. See him in his natural habitat, in a bubble, at the bottom of the sea... He is definitely up to something.

Mural of the Story
I completed this mural in 2004 with the help of my partner LeeAnne.
Based on three works by Henri Matisse - the right section was completed in 2002 by previous artists.
My partner and I began our contribution in 2003 with the middle blue section and finished in 2004 with the large left section.
