PAUL McCARTNEY and Blackbird WINGS

It is dreary and dark and very rainy today,

but just now an intense whiteness has begun to open the sky…

the sun is pushing through the gloom …
It is like the song…

that singing that breaks the silence in the dead of night …

that strength that comes from weakness…
that peace that passes all understanding.

Blackbird - Beatles

And so here are still more Work in Progress pictures

(please scroll down the entire blog for previous FACES in this large ongoing series on exhibit)…

Paul McCartney

And now some mildly selfish pushiness…

my own series of BLACKBIRDS…

all original artwork - matted and framed ...

available in my little ESTY shop at

"The LORD bless you and keep you;

the LORD make his face shine upon you

and be gracious to you;

the LORD turn his face toward you

and give you peace."

Numbers 24: 25-26

"my name is ALiCE, I live in a PaLace..."

I kind of get a giggle out of Alice Cooper's many commercials - remember this one?

and NOW... Back to the WiPs (scroll down for MORE - in many previous posts).

So here began ALiCE ...

I never really know what I'm doing when I start - it just happens.

I think that is why many artists I know (self included) kinda moan at the word "commission" - because they are often so specific that they can be stifling.

When we arty-types are free to just go with whatever - good stuff usually happens.

When Alice began to be born on this canvas I looked through concert shots mostly (having seen him in ... errr... 1979 or something I can't say I remember facial details from first hand observation)... so lots of photos were in order.
As you see, his latest CD was indeed the obvious view taken.

I have a large series of Rock Faces on exhibition near Cleveland [Alice is among them] - and for those of you interested in your own custom work from me ~ you now have an idea of my style and versatility (since painting my own Uncle Bub and Aunt Netti wouldn't really give you a clue if I am adept at representation or not. ) Exhibiting famous-y mugs for you here lets you see if you like what I do...and it is just plain ole fun for me.

ALiCE EMERGING...
