Description Acrylic on canvas, 16X20. new.
From the new Breed Release [link]

I've been working on this on & off for several months. It's difficult lately to concentrate on one piece alone. No idea why. In any case, I'm fond of Stravinsky (especially the early romantic Stravinsky) and fleshian rhapsodies. I'm also fond of the indistinct slosh of coconut milk when it's still inside the coconut, but that has no bearing here.

Thanks for looking

i feel like that girl...or at least..that we've met before...this is my favorite..my very very favorite of all your works--because i understand it so thoroughly. have you ever seen something--art, music..something..that plucks some invisible question from within and answers it with its images? ...this does that for me. i love it...and thank you.

I was just thinking about your art the other day. how it reminded me of stuff that's right in front us but we never see the beauty and the horror of it all. now where did I put that razor blade? ..

I always feel bad when I haven't visited your gallery in awhile...then I do and I was missing all the good stuff.

Is the "mountain" a sort of mutated peach pit?

Your horror vacui is inexplicable yet I thank you for it: There's a mini-painting ("Phoenix") in your painting, and it is really intriging and compeling. Velazquez is saying 'nudge nudge, know what I mean' from his grave in old Spain.

I've been watching out for the breed site... I like the new look. Any chance that people can sign up like old times so we can share art, too?

Awesome painting, as usual, sir.

Very brave usage of violet colour and anyway it looks harmonious with the whole painting.
As always I`m sitting and trying to understand what all these objects suppose to tell.
