I really loved my time at the Kansas City Art Institute and all that institution taught me about learning how to learn. The school was excellent in my opinion, and I cannot discount what the professors and curriculum taught me about good art.
That being said, it is awesome to be able to make art without trying to stay within the confines of an assignment or threat of critique. Most critiques I’ve been involved with have not done anything to improve my art.
Sure, critiques are excellent opportunities for others to go on and on about making no sense at all, but I’m done with all that. My art is something that I have critiqued within myself, and any other blathering about it is cool and all, but not necessary if one is completely sure of one’s work.
Here are three more large acrylic paintings that are looking almost finished, but still in progress:

This afternoon I put some paintings up at a coffee shop on The Hill in Boulder. Kind of an interesting space, as it was once a movie theatre lobby. My paintings are hanging in the spaces in which movie posters once resided.

And win they did! After 8 long long years, America may finally start rebuilding in a good way. Obama and Biden is just what we need right now. This is the first time I’ve actually been excited about who I’ve voted for and to whom I’ve donated.

These are totally still in progress, but they’re looking quite nice so far.

While walking on a trail in Broomfield this afternoon, I discovered pumpkin patches are huge in nearby Louisville.
