I would like to begin doing live artwork at parties and events.  I would be doing looser drawings, with oil sticks….still having representational elements, but more abstraction.  The problem is, I’ve never done this before….so I am looking for opportunities to do this for travel and material expenses.  It’s good for rock concerts, and fundraisers…

I see changes I want to make to Tree Top Paradise.  While I was doing that, I started thinking of other depictions of paradise in art history. The strangest has to be “The Garden of Earthly Delights”, by Bosch.  You can spend a long time just looking at the various figures.  It reminds me of…
