a painting of photo LA


Is that ironic? I don't know. I went early out to Santa Monica today and painted this view of the civic auditorium where the photoLA show is. I knew I was doing a show at 4pm but figured why not make a day out of it and rolled in at 11am. I thought it would be fun and odd to make a painting in front of a photography show, and then do a three hour broadcast at the photography show from a painter's viewpoint. I think both turned out great! The broadcast suffered from an unknown mic problem, no sound, for the first hour which sucks because it was awesome! We interviewed Amy Arbus about her new book the Fourth Wall, her famous mother, and photography, and also spoke with the folks from [the=equation]2 about their creative community cultivation project, and Dawn Of Man but... it's gone. ahahaha! The other two hours went great but I couldn't tell if I was repeating myself, very deja vu. I'll get a link to that soon but you can listen to a replay now at coagula.com the first hour is empty, but if you click or drag, basically fiddle with the scrolling bar next to the play button to about 60 or so minutes in, you can fastforward to where my gabbing start...
