Pagani Art Journal

Marker sketch.

I haven’t forgotten that I predicted my demise in the near future. In fact, it’s hard to think about much else.

On the other hand, lots of other things are going to tartarus in a woven basket: The motorhome is falling apart. My ersatz studio needs a new roof I can’t afford …hell, even the tv stopped working right. Perhaps it’s as good a time as any to check out, hmm?

Not that I want to die. But it isn’t like I have a choice. None of us do. And there isn’t any paradise waiting, just forever nothingness… cuz that’s just how things are.

I just wish I would have accomplished something while alive. But then again, is there any real accomplishment to be had since the sum of all life is always zero?

My thoughts make no more difference than my futile actions. It is all nothing. And that’s all it ever COULD be.

A piece of realism just completed. In general, I update my impressionist works at oregonpainter.tv but I like to keep my general blog readers abreast of my efforts, too!

This pastel painting is 11×15 - the framed size is 16×20. You can also find an earlier, smaller version of this work at oregonpainter.tv along with some of my other impressionist paintings.

Number 6 in the series of 3-D paintings rendered primarily in black and white has arrived…

This painting has perhaps 2 inches of surface relief with much variation of texture on the canvas via acrylic, krylon and clay.

I may change my mind but at the moment I feel that this is my best work to date, as far as this experimental line goes. There is so much micro-variation that if you don’t have some neural-level reaction to this work …well, you’re probably dead.

As before, serious offers are entertained.

GUESS The NAME of this art project… Just an art project that came to my idle mind .. open to guesses for amusement’s sake. You might say it’s a selection of minimalist graffiti art. But the name will tell…

And also…

But my best piece so far:

Everything is in the name, you know. Guess?
