Friday Flick July 16th: Motherhood
11"Wx10"H This is an old image, it was painted in 1995. It is small and there is no background, it is one of my primitive paintings.
The summer is here , it is short, and there are other things I would rather do than paint, so through the summer the Friday Flick will be infiltrated by older forgotten primitive images.
I am pretending I have a deadline to an imaginary job of providing an image to the "Friday Flick" which is viewed by an imaginary audience on the internet. This gives me an incentive to produce a new painting every week. And now I am cheating by putting older substandard images in their place.
Painting is something that I do in the bad weather, there are fewer distractions, but now I am in the middle of a beautiful summer, and although there will be a few new images, my imaginary audience can wait till summer is over for me to get serious about painting again.
I encourage everyone to check out the 3 groups that I have formed.

The art work is of a certain style, so it is a very select artist segment that is invited to exhibit. Also, I run these groups like a directory, with only one sample per artist, this way nobody gets lost in the crowd. And if anyone wants to see more, they just follow the link to the artist`s site.
