'Objects in the Mirror Appear Closer than they are'

Latest surfboard adorns a close up shot of a Zebra.

This was created during the Celebration of Fine Art in Scottsdale Arizona - love this one

Celebrate of fine Art

Well we are a month into this 3 month festival, enjoying all aspects of this except for surf and family - yes I know the order I put this. The fam has been a out and I talk constantly to my girls - surf cant talk on the phone!
Here are some shots from the set up where we had a shell, that was only a couple of walls and a freshly laid cement floor.
New work is completely inspired by my new tent crowd, it is refreshing to be surrounded by artists that arent necessarily coastal influenced, I am drawing lines from native indian artist - James Ayers, urban artist - James Randle, and Vintage Vehicle artist - Santiago Michalek among others.

set up - not sure what I am supposed to do here!

a few days later the easel is out and paint is moving.

Not sure what is next on the easel or what will even come off it - but things are moving.

Recipe - Warm Cucumber Salad

I am currently preparing for the next two trips to Key West - James Coleman gallery, which will then be followed by my move to Scottsdale Arizona to attend the 3 month 'Celebration of the Art' Event.

Today is a fun and unusual  mix - Warm Cucumber salad.........

Olive oil

Garlic

Mushrooms

Onions

Red chili

Sesame seeds

Asparagus

Orange pepper

Bacon

Been sprouts

Cucumber

Mozzarella

Pear vinegar

Maple syrup

Collard greens

Pre-cook/crisp the bacon then dice.
Slice all ingredients prior to cooking, as the wok will cook very fast and therefor you may end up burning things as you are trying to prepare....

In a wok or deep pan, warm the olive oil and then add cut garlic and onions, when transparent, add mushrooms and asparagus. When veges start getting a slight brown on the edge, add collard greens, red chilies bacon, orange pepper, sesame seeds. The collard greens should not wilt but are get a nice steam.

Add Cucumber and been sprouts, and mix for two minutes just to heat, then add the rest of the ingredients and serve straight away.........

Good with Steak! 

Art - new for Florida shows

diffused reflections

Ive been hard at it in the studio and here are a couple of the new mahogany boards - both are 7ft. Really enjoyed creating these and wanted to delve deeper into my green palette

emerald city

Well the show is during Key West's Fantasy Fest - so playing around, I created both these wall sculptures using fiberglass casts and wrapping them in gold leaf to create a great, different canvas.......
