A portrait of you?

I imagine something in the style of Picasso, with weird and distorted features.

Oh, wait—

Mahima: I'm working from a template provided by a service called Artspan. I picked them because when you run a Google search for "contemporary art gallery" they're number one among 25,000,000 links. Anyway, the downside is that the site can be customized only to a certain degree. I'd love ...

Yes, "Under Construction" is pretty tiresome, but I took the opportunity to turn it into a joke, as you'll see if you check the photo. And the fact is, I really do want people to know that I'm not quite finished. Buying is tricky now, but that will be corrected. I have obtained the service...

My wife's sister lives in New Orleans. She's pretty poor, but she lives in an area where there are lots of rich people. Her otherwise shabby apartment is furnished with fabulous antiques––lamps, ceramics, rugs and so forth––that the rich folks have left on the curb for the garbage collectors. She go...

Who mentioned turtles? I just bought some art, myself. My sister called and said that a friend of hers had been walking down the street and had noticed a piece of Disney art, stamped with the Disney seal, double-matted and framed ...in someone's garbage! He brought it to her, and she called me immed...

It's my mom who's the angel. She's 83 and has tended to him (he had encephalitis previously) since 1980. And the whole time both of them have been in my house, worrying if they're being a burden––which they are not. She has never considered putting him in any sort of institution. People who lived th...

Lurking is about all I can do these days. I work ten hour days, then come home to tend to my father, who is in the last stages of Alzheimer's. Only after all that do I get a chance to paint. Still, I'm making good progress: almost everything in the gallery was created in the last 18 months. That's 1...

V-Man: You find the ostrich lady disturbing? That wasn't my intention, but I'm pleased that people read the pictures differently. Good art should inspire discussion and debate. Frelga: Contrary to popular opinion, good abstracts are difficult to create and, like more traditional styles, have their r...

There are several more pieces up now, and more being added almost daily, so check in from time to time.

And thanks to all who've paid a call.

Yes, the sizes can vary quite a bit. The sizes listed are the original sizes, which are the ones I think show each piece to its best advantage.

Read the Shop Policies; I think I discuss that there. It's written as another of my bogus "interviews."

Not yet, yov. But this is the beta version of the website, and improvements are still being made.

I appreciate your visit and your praise, especially as I know that you tend to be on the picky side!
