No new painting today, as I am 1) having crazy no-reason back pain, and 2) keep falling asleep. But in its steed, I present the bench I painted for the village of Oak Park, IL, last summer. The theme assigned was, I believe, "Seasons", so I created a bench called "In the Future, Robots Will Do Our Yardwork."I think it turned out rather well. Plus it came with a decent little stipend. I'm hoping I can find some similar opportunities out here. If anyone knows of some good public painting opportunites for Southern California, please let me know.

i know in pasadena every beginning of the summer they do a sidewalk-chalk painting festival. i haven't found the website, but i was thinking of entering next year, it's a whole plaza of sidewalk panels, some really good ones done as well. not exactly painting, but i did see some that were probably done in tempura or something, definitely using a brush. you should look it up.
also, very nice bench!
Ooo! Thanks! I have to remember that. I really enjoy public art things. I always sort of bitch about it during the application process, but in the end it's always very fulfilling
Your art is great. Love the bench, love the paintings.
Thank you! I miss my bench. I think I'll have to go visit it the next time I'm back in Chicago.
