Waste of Time XVII (Associated)

May 27th, 2010

This one is mostly bathroom garbage. You can see the toilet paper tube on the right (hmmm, that should have been recycled). Click here to see the eBay auction. Last week’s painting is also still available.

Seed pod

May 20th, 2010

It’s that time of year when the weary old tree in front of our house sprinkles our front yard with thousands of hopeful little tree-sperm. I drew this while Milo frolicked in the dirt.

New garbage bag painting: Waste of Time XVI

May 19th, 2010

This is an original oil painting, number 15 in a series of works that depict and document my household waste. It is both a way of acknowledging my culpability in the destruction of our environment, and a symbolic act of recycling.  And, should you win the auction, it would look lovely on your wall.

As promised/threatened…Waste of Time oil paintings.

May 3rd, 2010

This is an original oil painting, number 14 in a series of works that depict and document my household waste. It is both a way of acknowledging my contribution to the destruction of our environment, and a symbolic act of recycling. I will document as much of my trash in this manner as I possibly can and auction them on eBay.

All the paintings in this series are 8″x10″ unless noted otherwise. Each one is on stretched gessoed canvas, and finished with a durable, archival varnish.

To see the eBay listing and get more information on this painting, click here.
