Description Acrylic + canvas, 16X20 inches.

A piece I finished about a month ago, but dreaded scanning. Coincidentally, this is the first evening that the weather has permitted me to have the windows open, so the rather heavy, pre-spring miasma in the air compliments the atmosphere of this piece rather nicely.
Then again, it could be the antihistamine buzz.
Hey, it's nearly Palm Sunday (What's the buzz?)

Thanks for looking

great work, I am both amazed, enthralled and frustrated to be unable to write a more coherent comment.

Your paintings are the only ones that make me want to read everyone else's comments to see what they had to say. In this case, I must say that Sam pretty well summed up my thoughts about your stuff in general, so I'll just say "ditto"...and Nong already faved it, so there you have it. Have a good Sunday Danny.

I love Santa

I've eaten lotus before in this awesome chutney I used to get in this Indian store. It had all kinds of pickled thins in it. Stuff that looked like green beans or olives but, weren't. Then there was this honeycomb cereal looking thing that happens to be part of a lotus flower. The stuff was really spicy!

It was great for making barbecued chicken. When I told lady who owned the store that she got really upset and wouldn't sell me any more!

I would get my girlfriend to go and get it. She talked to the lady's son and found out she was a devout vegetarian. I told her to tell the lady I was sorry.
Still makes chicken tasty though! Wahoo!!

Yeh, I know...

One of my fave tracks from Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar".
It's a beautiful painting, sir. The colors are rich and the composition is stunning!

Geez, it's hard for me to pick a favorite from JCS. When Yvonne Elliman sings "Could We Start Again, Please"..... there are no words

Given your comment, I'm tempted to say "Tell me what's a-happening"... but I know better than to ask.

The color scheme is intense, but then the action is not exactly lacking in drama either.

I can always chart my astonishment of a new kolaboy piece by how few words I can find to express it-- outside of an exquisite combination of colors, textures and tones, my mouth is shut completely...
