Tootsie
Picture of the DayTootsie
Acylic and latex on panel, 2'x 3'
I was not actually trying to paint Dustin Hoffman as Tootsie, but as I worked and re-worked this face, it kept feeling masculine instead of feminine. I still haven't decided what I think, or whether this will remain as is, but for now it exists and I moved on to something new. What is it that makes women's delicate features so much more difficult to reproduce than a man's roughness?

Portrait of Hemingway
Picture of the DayPortrait of Hemingway
Acrylic on illustration board, 10"x 13"
The funny thing of this picture is that when I finished, it reminded me of Stacy Keach. Then I noticed after having this thought that the audio book of Hemingway's short stories (which I was basing the portrait on) was read by Mr. Keach and if made me wonder if maybe he read the audio book because he liked Hemingway based on the fact that he resembled the man. It was a funny thought.

Backstory. My senior year in college I worked on a painting in which I attempted to demonstrate that the painting was "alive" only as long as it was changing. For several months I worked three to five hours a day on an eight foot by twelve foot canvas, constantly re-inventing it. At one point I covered it in sheet of newsprint and at another I wrapped it in garden hoses. At the end of the year I planned to set it on fire and ride through it on a bike, an event which never came off because the event was intended to have an audience, and most of my classmates were leaving school behind, their attention directed to new life horizons.
As the painting went through its many changes, I took Ektachrome slides until the day my camera was stolen. The pattern of black shapes here was from one of these slides. Though 36 years dormant, the ever changing painting now has a new iteration, Episode 39.

The Empty Copper Cell
Metallic portrait on cell phone
This is my second painting of a man's face on a cell phone. It crossed my mind to send out an appeal to have people send me their own "retired" cell phones and make art out of them as well.
The name of this piece is taken from the title of a book by John D. McDonald, a prolific author of whom my dad was an avid reader.
