I don't know many other artists who paint drive-in movies. I painted one en plein air in 2007. A friend agreed to take me to the Starlite drive-in in Durham, NC where I set up next to his car and painted in the light of the movie. The owner of the drive-in passed away within a year, and the drive-in has since been torn down. I'm not sure I'd ever want to part with the painting.
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet... ...and I get on as a looper at a course in the Himalayas. A looper? A looper. You know, a caddy, a looper... ...a jock. So I tell them I'm a pro jock and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. With flowing robes, grace, bald, striking. I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one. Big hitter, the Lama. Long! Into a foot crevice right at the base of this glacier! Do you know what the Lama says? "Gunga galunga. Gunga gunga da gunga." So we finish and he's going to stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama! "How about a little something, you know, for the effort?" And he says, "There won't be any money... "...but when you die, on your deathbed... "...you will receive total consciousness." So I've got that going for me... which is nice.

To Purchase
I post paintings the same day they are painted. It can take 3 days - 2 weeks to dry (depending on the thickness of the paint). You can expect shipment about 2 weeks after purchase. This only applies to new paintings. Older posts are varnished and will ship the next day.
The "buy now" button will link you to my Pay Pal site.
Some paintings are sold through ebay.
You do not have to sign up or be a Pay Pal member to use this secure service. Pay Pay accepts all major credit cards.

A looper. You know, a caddy, a looper...
...a jock.

and who do you think they give me?
The Dalai Lama, himself.
With flowing robes, grace, bald, striking.
I'm on the first tee with him.
I give him the driver.
He hauls off and whacks one.
Big hitter, the Lama. Long!
Into a foot crevice
right at the base of this glacier!
Do you know what the Lama says?
"Gunga galunga. Gunga gunga da gunga."
So we finish and he's going to stiff me.
And I say, "Hey, Lama!
"How about a little something,
you know, for the effort?"
And he says, "There won't be any money...
"...but when you die, on your deathbed...
"...you will receive total consciousness."

which is nice.
Well done.
