NEW painting and new show - Hammered & Nailed in Hartford, CT
Tuesday afternoon, a friend told me about an open-submission art show this coming weekend -- and that the setup dates were Wednesday and Thursday! So I had to rush to get my arse in gear and get something ready for it. I had a partially-started canvas, and I decided I'd finish it up. I added the final touches to it sometime around noon on Wednesday, May 25th.
Title: I Am The Blood
Year: 2011
Dimensions: approx. 11 in. X 22.5 in.

I'm glad I got there early. Space was filling up really fast!
