This is the first painting done for the "Eyes of Texas" show here in San Marc, this fall. I did a simular painting like this about two years ago,
I got all into this title called "Sunday night panitngs", just the idea of sunday painter, streaming with cute whimical looks twisted into some cryptic abstract lead me on to the cute kitch gerna. Over in Brenham, which i consider to be the sweetest of Texas kitch, all the shops and craft stores are decked out in Bluebonnets , cows, country seen, farm animanls ,etc.. as decorations, and art.. but alot of the ways they are painted, simple and plain made me fantisize about some one talking these ideas to expres something that they are not., or useing the look with an hiddon message, mainly abstracted message, like the painting above..
"all the carrots layed out before the open sky like daggers of a smile"
