Three new Yeti pieces to be shown at the Octane Gallery

2011-03-01T13:34:00.000-06:00

Well, folks, here's some more Yeti on wood. They're going to be part of an upcoming show at Octane Gallery, located in Kustom Thrills Tattoo at 1000 Main Street, East Nashville. This Thursday, March 3rd, will be the opening, kicking off at 8 pm! Come on down and support local artists and businesses!

The Yeti Walking His Dog, 8x19", acrylic on wood

The Yeti Crowdsurfing, 8x20", acrylic on wood

The Yeti at a Diner, 8x20", acrylic on wood

A recent commission...

2011-02-04T08:45:00.000-06:00

Here's a recently finished commission, a portrait. I was pretty happy with this one. 16x20, acrylic on canvas.

Contact me for details about ordering a portrait. I'd love to discuss it with ya!

And now...A Pipe-Smoking Cat

2011-01-13T10:53:00.001-06:00

This was done as a Christmas present for a friend of mine. The "L" stands for "Lefty".

Serious cat is serious.

There is a lot of stuff coming down the pipe, and it sure has been a busy month. T-shirts, prints, and all kinds of new stuff. The portrait project is still on, though it has slowed a bit since I now have a tidal wave of other things going on right now.

As always, stay tuned and be coo kidsl, and don't let the winter get ya down!

And for your rock'n'roll moment of the day...this seemed appropriate.

Come and see my work at the coolest little shop around: MADE

2010-12-17T19:18:00.000-06:00

Nashville Portriat Project, #2. D.A.

2010-11-20T00:59:00.002-06:00

Number two of the Nashville Portriat project, my friend D.A. 16 x 20", acrylic on canvas. FOUR more currently being worked on, soon to be posted over the coming days. For now, enjoy D.A. Drink him in, as it were. If you know this guy, you know that's exactly what he's saying to you as you look at this.

OK, folks. Time to celebrate and get amped for more paintings! With that, I leave you with The Sweet, and we'll see ya back here real soon. Take care everyone, and as always, rock on.

Still full speed ahead, making the most amazing artwork you've ever seen...

2010-11-17T01:43:00.002-06:00

Through various fits and starts, I've updated this site/blog rather sporadically. So here's a little state of the union post for ya, with lots of new work on the way.

It's been an interesting time, to say the least. For the last two weeks, I have slowly taken over the living room to the point that now it is my defacto studio. I think I've slept in my bed about two times in that same period, as I have taken to falling asleep in front of the easel in the lazyboy. Which has been awesome.

The reference photo of D.A. creepily looks on whilst I sleep
in the laziboy. Photo courtesy of the amused Nathan
Hunter.

It has been a prolific time, too. I've done five new pieces in three weeks. The portrait project has forced me to establish a goal and work, work, work. With each new piece, my skills sharpen, I rediscover technique, and the process speeds up exponentially. It has now become an all consuming activity.

So there you have it. I've been keeping strange hours, painting like a nut, and loving every minute of it.

Murray looks on, wanting some Benton's bacon to be
dopped on the floor (which it wasn't),
some stick throwing, and a hiball glass of Jameson's.
But then again, who isn't?

D.A.
16" x 20", acrylic on canvas

Keep an eye out here for a plethora (Three Amigo's fans rejoice) of killer new stuff. Here's a little teaser - my friend D.A. (that's for Donato Alfonse, a nice Irish kid). This one is about 70% done. The finished piece will be posted soon.

And lastly, I leave you with a Frank Black song...because the guy is so friggen badass. I've recently rediscovered "Fast Man, Raider Man", and it's still deliveres a solid asskicking. Enjoy.

Be good, treat yourselves well, and I look forward to the time when we'll all be together again.

All my best,
P.

New Thang: Nashville Portrait Project

2010-11-03T21:51:00.003-05:00

So, I've decided to undertake an ambitious little project: approximately 25 portraits of friends and acquaintances here in Nashville, all 16" x 20". And I want to do it in a month and a half. But that's a good thing.

Here's the first one, a self portrait. I'm very happy with it.

Keep an eye out for more soon!

Eat your veggies!

Just a quick one...

2010-10-31T02:48:00.002-05:00

I did this one recently for the Move Forward/Fight Back cancer survivor benefit at Billups Art in East Nashville.

South 14th Street

8x10 acrylic on canvas

I really like this little painting. It does all the things with light and color that I'm fascinated with. I'm certainly happy with it.

Be good, kids.

KOMBUCHA!

2010-10-16T01:18:00.003-05:00

On an un-art related note - if you're looking to get some really, really high quality kombucha, I know where to get it. Check out Cumberland Valley Kombucha, and get ya some today!

Wood you like to see my Yeti? My new project goes aginst the grain.

2010-10-10T12:56:00.001-05:00

Someone slap me before I make another wood pun. I guess I was just board. Whoops. Too late. Pun not averted...

Anyhoo, I got these really neat pieces of ~~garbage~~ scrap wood from my pal and fellow artist Josh Rhodes. You can see his stuff over here, (and don't forget his talented wife's stuff, too). I've been kind of toying with this character for a little while now, and combined with the unconventional painting surface, this is what happened:

It's about fourteen inches by six, and there's four more on the easel as of this morning. I'll post them up soon. In the mean time, don't fear the Yeti. He only wants to smoke your cigarettes and make crude social observations.

Be cool, kids.

Nashville Card Project

2010-09-11T14:55:00.002-05:00

In February 2010, I created approximately fifty of these 5x7 cards that were left in various public places around Nashville. They were left on tables at coffee shops, bars, diners, on the floor of the grocery store, on buses, and anywhere else I thought that someone would put eyes on them and hopefully brighten someone's day. Unfortunately, I only scanned these sixteen. Hope you like them. You can see them here.

Bark Gallery is GO!

2010-09-11T13:58:00.002-05:00

Hey folks! Bark Gallery is now live! This is where I will be concentrating on pet portraits. Head on over and check it out!

Nashville Flood Relief Show TONIGHT!

2010-05-15T16:59:00.004-05:00

I will also have a piece in this show, and 100% of it's sale goes directly to Hands On Nashville (www.hon.org). $5 door, and a canned food drive, too (bring canned goods for people AND pets!). The show will be at Billups Art, the former Plowhaus Gallery, behind Beyond the Edge and Drifter's BBQ. For more information, look here:

PANCAKES AND BOOZE ART SHOW, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26th!

2010-02-25T23:59:00.001-06:00

I'll have three pieces in this show.

Come one out for what's sure to be a great time!

2010-02-22T23:45:00.000-06:00

From this past Sunday's Dr Sketchy's - Nashville. The theme of this particular contest was "worst things about Valentine's Day" and they asked for the audience to yell out suggestions. Someone said "BATMAN". Lolly and the model went with "cheesy greeting cards". I combined the two.

What has been going on...

2009-11-02T11:17:00.004-06:00

It's been a long time since I've been on the blog, but there's about to be a lot more activity. Our drawing group over at The Nashville Drawing Group Blog is still going strong, and there are a number of new projects in the pipe that will be highlighted here.

Stay tuned!

It is extraordinarily difficult to photograph people in moving cars whilst driving a moving car yourself

2009-03-25T10:16:00.002-05:00

OK, I had not planned on this being *that hard*, but alas...it is. My little point-and-shoot camera, while perfectly adequate for most tasks, simply cannot perform the way I need it to like the Canon DSLR I used to use. I think I'm going to have to see if anyone here in Nashville does equipment rentals...In any event, it has been slow going collecting subject matter for my next project. One way around this was to get up early and intentionally get myself stuck in heavy, bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic. That way, with speeds of 0-5mph, I could easily snap off a few shots. The downside is that your pretty much stuck next to the same people for a half hour, so that would severely limit the diversity in subject matter. Bother.

This is all leading up to my biggest frustration with Nashville thus far: you have to drive EVERYWHERE. There are pockets of walkable urbanity here and there, but by and large you have to drive to them. One particular detail that upsets me quite a bit was that in my desperate attempt to find decent daytime employment, I had to break my "10 mile each way" rule. I now work 19 miles from where I live, and if I decided that I wanted to spend two hours (each way) on public transport I would still end up four miles short of my office. I could rail against this kind of unsustainable non-sense all day, however I have to get ready for work. I have to beat some traffic.

Lastly, things are looking good with FAFSA and my student loan fiasco is getting straightened out. Soon it is going to be time to figure out where to go in the fall. Unfortunately, I am not officially a Tennessee resident until next November. There are options, but I suppose I can expound on that later as well.

Holy Cow!

2009-03-23T10:45:00.009-05:00

Has it been almost four months since my last post? Really? Anyhow, above is a 24x30" acrylic on canvas I did for Untitled Nashville's "Barely Legal" Spring show (click on the pic for the whole thang). I don't have time to go over all of my artistic adventures of the last few months, but I will catch up later. I have a new project which involves taking pictures of people in cars on the highway. If I survive that, then I might have some interesting new paintings soon.

My First 'Untitled Nashville' Show: A Great Experience

2008-12-20T15:36:00.010-06:00

"
I saw the river playing in the valley
Rushing 'round a bend and skipping stones
I saw the meadow wobble in the moonlight
I've come to get my girl and take her home

Her doorbell plays a bar of Stephen Foster
Her sister never left and look what it cost her
We're gonna live in Nashville and I'll make a career
Out of writing sad songs and getting paid by the tear

Marry me and leave Kentucky
Come to Tennessee
'Cause you're the only ten I see
You're the only ten I see

I've looked through offices and honky-tonks for men man enough to be
Mr. and Mrs. Tennessee
Mr. and Mrs. Tennessee

"
The Silver Jews - Tennessee

I really love this song, and I can't get it out of my head. It has kind of a hopeful twang and bend, and it mirrors the general aura that permeates my own recent move to Nashville, without the love story of sweeping a girl off her feet from Kentucky, of course.

This is a new piece, next in the garage/alley series, as it is appropriately named "Garage #8". It is 24x30, a much larger version of the small earlier pieces, and it continues to explore more of the same themes. This piece was my entry in last night's Untitled Nashville's "Abominable Art Show", and from where I was standing it was a great event. The whole night I had that song replaying over and over again in my head as I perused all of the excellent art from over one hundred artists and navigated the throngs of people milling around the gallery. I feel like I forged some good connections and maybe even made a friend or two. If last night is indicative of the Nashville art scene, then prospects here look very good. I think I'm going to have a good time here.

It was also very reafirming to be surounded by so many other artists. It's been a long time to be at a similar event, so I enjoyed it for everything it was worth. It would also be downright despicable of me not to mention the great people at Untitled Nashville who worked very hard to put on a great event, especially Samantha Callahan. I really like the group, and I am very much looking forward to working with them in the future.

Goodby you suckers and steady bad luckers
We're off to the land of club soda unbridled
We're off to the land of hot middle-aged women
Off to the land whose blood runneth orange

Upcoming Show

2008-12-16T07:32:00.005-06:00

COME TO THE ABOMINABLE ARTS SHOW THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19TH!

Thanksgiving

2008-11-30T20:14:00.003-06:00

I've just spent the last week in Central Illinois, along for the ride with my friend Brad to his family's homes in Springfield and Quincy. Brad's family was nothing short of gracious. They were very accommodating, fed me well, and welcomed me as one of their own. In these personal lean times, things to be thankful for are sometimes murky, but my hosts' generosity are what I am truly thankful for.

It was a relaxing week, all things considered, though traveling with the dogs at times proved to be a bit harrowing. I read a lot, six books finished this week alone, and another three that I will most likely finish in the next few days. I was on a Bukowski bender - four total - Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit, Post Office, Factotum, and Notes of a Dirty Old Man, Sarah Vowell's Assassination Vacation, and Raymond Carver's Ultramarine. I think I might switch gears to some lighter stuff.

With Untitled Nashville's "Abominable" show tentatively approaching, I'll be back in the studio this week working on some larger pieces. I will do my best to borrow a camera and post up the finished work when I can. Stay tuned. In the time being, I'll continue my job search and Murray will bask in being back home on the bed.

Full moved, fully adrift

2008-11-11T08:43:00.005-06:00

Well, it's done - my move to Nashville is complete.

Although exciting and filled with possibility, it's also a little sad and disjointing. Part of the stresses of this move is the fact that I sold or gave away nearly all of my possessions and fit the remainder of them in my station wagon. The seasons and weather help reflect this, I suppose, but it's difficult not to become reflective when a familiar place is in your rear view mirror (er, no pun intended). My life changed a great deal in my three and a half years in Quincy, Illinois, and although some of those changes were tinged with heartbreak, I can honestly say that I wouldn't be the artist - or the person - that I am today had I never gone there. I owe Quincy a debt of gratitude, and I'll always be grateful for my time there, even though the town and I aren't really a perfect fit. I always felt like Sully in Nobody's Fool. I can only dream of being even as remotely charming as Paul Newman, though. Heh.

I'm still getting my legs under me here in Music City USA, a town of perplexing paradoxes. So far, though, I like it. It feels like an eastern city, and there is also some relief to the landscape, which I have missed while living in the midwest the last six years. Some of it has a nice grit patina to it, although it is overall a very nice looking and relatively clean city. The country music stigma that so many of my friends have cooed about just isn't really there, or at least I am choosing to successfully ignore it. I think there is a northern insecurity to appreciating country music and it's associated sub-genres, and it's probably more annoying dealing with archaic prejudices than it is with the actual music itself. Downtown, on "Lower Broad", all of the touristy old bars and western shops are alive with people and music, and truth be told it really is a fun place to hang out. Among my many musical tastes, blue grass and old time country and western are favorites of mine, and you hear that music played here in earnest. On the other hand, I live literally a half mile from the "new" Opry and the associated "compound" - site of the defunct "Opryland USA" amusement park, and a smorgasbord of cheesy theme restaurants and tourist traps, campgrounds and wax museums surrounding a large shopping mall, the very posh (if somewhat out of place) Gaylord Hotel, and, of course, the Opry itself. I drove around it yesterday, which should tell you something. You don't walk around and look at this monstrosity, you drive around and ogle at it. You patiently wait at crosswalks for enormous folks from Alberta to Albany waddle out of "family style" restaurants and back to their chartered motorcoaches. It is a queer and confusing place to me, and now that my initial scouting mission is over, I don't think I'll be going back any time soon. Well, maybe for the Thai restaurant/gocart track. That looks pretty awesome.

Back on my side of the Cumberland River, life is a little simpler and a lot less flashy. I live in an area called Inglewood, an old suburb from the 40's and 50's that despite it's lack of good pedestrian aids is still a charming and pleasant place to be. There are tall trees and lots of cute pre-war bungalows that have been well cared for, although I live in a tiny 1950's brick half-Cape. We're part of the larger area - East Nashville - which has been on a comeback for over a decade now. We (and I mean me and my friend Brad, who is graciously letting me and Murray stay with him) are reasonably close to the epicenter of the neighborhood, the Five Points. Five Points is a concentration of funky restaurants, boutiques, bars, coffee shops, galleries, and hipster hangouts, and it reminds me a bit of Westcott in Syracuse or 39th Street/Volker in Kansas City. The hipsters are a little obnoxious, but that's to be expected, and it's usually non-threatening. There seems to be a decent art community here, which is what's really important to me. It doesn't seem to have the breadth of Kansas City's, but I think it's healthy and vibrant in it's own right.

As one would suspect, musicians abound here. Luckily, not everything is 'pop country', and there is a great diversity to what you can find in the numerous honky tonks and dumpy bars, from punk to rockabilly, new wave to pop folk, rock and roll to fusion hip hop, and everything else in between. I've decided on a new project indirectly related to the music scene here, but I'll reveal it once I get past the planning stage. It has something to do with dumpsters. I won't be diving into them, though.

For a city this size, there is a lot to do and see, too. This past weekend I had the opportunity to see John Irving speak at the Ryman (for free!) and a free admission day at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts which is currently showing a very nice Rodin collection of bronzes and a wonderful Eastman House collection (of which I have seen before in Rochester, but is still a treat none-the-less). We haven't even scraped the surface of other neighborhoods in the city, like Germantown or Vanderbilt, among others.

As far as transportation in concerned, you realize pretty quickly that you're in the south. Mass transit is expensive and often times inconvenient. Pedestrian amenities in some areas leave a lot to be desired. Cycling infrastructure, while improving, still has a ways to go. Actually, though, I was surprised to see that some cycling routes and infrastructure have recently been built. I live near a very large park with numerous cycling pathways and even a large suspension bridge expressly for bike and ped traffic that was recently built to cross the river. It seems that the metropolitan government has a reasonable commitment to creating a real transportation cycling system, but it still has a ways to go before it even resembles a system similar to that in Portland or even Chicago.

Well, there is my rambling brain droppings of my first week in my new city. I'm getting a makeshift studio up and running, and hopefully in the near future I can some how get my hands on a camera in order to photograph new work. Stay tuned...

Some more old junk...

2008-10-28T18:54:00.001-05:00

Time Well Spent in Kansas City

2008-10-28T14:40:00.000-05:00

Well, I'm back in Kansas City. I've been spending the better part of a week staying at my brother's house whilst he and his family are visiting the folks in Arizona. I've been herding four dogs; two of mine and two of theirs. Hair and drool, that's what we've got here...

I had forgotten (or at least suppressed) just how much I really love Kansas City. It's got great food, cultural venues, music, and interesting creative things to do, plus it's a very good looking city. I'm working on a few commissions while I'm here, and it's reminded me just how good the light here is. I love painting here. The light here has an optimistic big-ness to it. It's hard to explain. If you ever come here to paint, then you will probably understand better than any explanation I could offer.

Oh, and next weekend the move to Nashville is complete, and I will no longer be living in Illinois. But that will warrant it's own entry...and I have plans for a new series of work, but I'll let that be a surprise.

And two more...

2008-10-12T23:41:00.000-05:00

Since I cannot figure out how to post more than five pics at a time, here are the last two. In order to get the farm landscape image (named "The View from the Schachtsiek's Kitchen"), I had to scan the painting in sections as it was larger than the scanner bed, and then I stiched the different images together. I'll be sure to take a good photo of it for when it goes up on my site.

Both of these were done plein air, too, which was fun.

Recent stuff...

2008-10-12T23:32:00.000-05:00

Well, I haven't really had a chance to post daily like I had wanted, but these are the pieces from the last week or so. Apologies for the poor image quality, as I don't currently have a camera and I had to scan them before bringing them to the show in Hannibal. Enjoy!

Garage #2

2008-10-06T12:09:00.000-05:00

OK, been doing a few more, but here's the only one I've scanned so far - an 8x10. Without a camera I'm at the mercy of the tools available to me, namely a scanner. Man I need a digital camera!

Alley garage pieces...First one

2008-09-30T19:40:00.000-05:00

So this is something I've wanted to do for a long time - an observational series of similar subject matter of various sizes. Not real crazy, but an objective to produce new work regularly, plus I'm really enjoying the practice. The little pieces really have an endearing quality to them, with their nice pallet and kitchy subject matter - old garages on an alley.

I've been severely blocked lately, and as I try to determine where I'm going and what I'm going to do at the end of the month, fear and worry have paralyzed my art making attempts. It's my hope that these little garages will help make little victories a daily thing and help me to use the majority of my time painting, rather than a half hour spent painting and ten hours thinking about not painting.

Anyhow, this is the first one - a little 6" x 6" of a homely little garage. Let's hope I write again tomorrow!
