Jette Island

I wanted to jump on the ship tomorrow with this little painting complete. But she is miles away, just like the Regal Princess is today.

Its title: Jette’s Isle.

Named after one of my favorite employees at sea – Jerry from India – I thought I heard her say “Jetti is my name” I thought to myself “what a cool name”. Hehe.

She’s a hard working, amazingly fun, and an entertaining gal and I’m giving her the rights to this painting.

Now truth is, that’s not worth the paper it’s written on ….. for now.

Only giving more time will those who remain here will determine it’s true value – and that will be long after the constrains of the planets have lost their power over me.

But until that day …

I get a ton of joy from worlds I create, like right here, on “Jette’s Island”

How delightful.

It’s mikes from complete – I’ll have to finish it on board March 24 thru April 5 – end of season cruise.

Fun on the high seas

Oh no. They put my class in the Princess Patter – a lot of people will line up, but sadly I can only teach 30 folks at a time. However, I noticed they created another art class to catch my over flow. (Note to self: think about how I could teach more folks at once)

I’m Already get to meetsome awesome folks!

A gal spotted me in the casino last night and said “I’m sad i missed your duck give away at the sail away party.”

I said “I have one left would you liked it? It’s a sun and moon design”

She lit up! lifted up her shirt and turned around and on her back where she had a tiny scar from a spin surgery where she placed a tiny tattoo of a sun and moon.

What are the odds on that ever in a billion years happening? Thats a “God is good” moment!

Her tattoo and my duck were like mirror images – even the art was near the same size and color … now that’s amazing!?!

Update: There is more to story – Only 19 showed up to the event. That one was left in my pocket. And she just happened to find me. This is a huge 3500 passager boat. And usually the line is too long. Oh wait. That’s not true I forgot a very important fact – there were 20th in line, now that I think about it, three brothers were in line – number 18, 19 and 20 – one of the boys handed this duck back to me saying that he wanted a duck with a black hat. I said I didn’t have any left for today in black, but he handed it back anyway – Stating He’ll try to find one on one of the other days.

I love that I get to do this!

Jan 16th day 2 of cruise update! he found me and got his black hatted duck.

All now all three brothers have their duck.

Jana’s story inspires folks to never give up

EYE TO EYE

I can custom this art with your image in them instead of mine:

Please go see my solo show at Bastrop Public Library.

These painting are in egg tempura and photos do not do this luscious medium justice.

June and July – it’s show title is “Eye to Eye” and it’s a self portrait show.

If you buy an original I’ll be more than happy to take me out and put you in for an additional fee. Fee depends on if it’s a silhouette of you or full color caricature of you and that depends on which painting you buy.

If you can’t afford an original we can print to canvas and I can paint on top on there as well.

Anyway. Just go see the show. Please.

It took me 25 hours to complete each painting.
