To finish out this year’s Spring Break Short Story Recommendations I’m also reviving (albeit temporarily) an old feature, Supporting Friends Friday. I’m rounding out my short story selections with Stacey C. Johnson‘s “Survey of Poetry,” found at her excellent blog Breadcrumbs.
I’ve kept plugging away at my little paintings, and have a slate of new paintings. This post does not feature all of them, but some of the highlights from my recent forays into primitivist doodle-painting.
I really do paint the way that I draw—poorly. But my distinctly grotesque style seems to hold a certain charm, as I’ve already sold and/or committed to gift two of the three paintings in this little post.
