1. 1. LET'S SPONSOR ART AND STIMULATE CREATIVITY Expression on canvas using an oil based project with various dryer's and extender's in a Large Format Style is an expensive undertaking. I use unusual tools like an Afro-pick, nine inch nail, combs, brushes, sponges, and every kitchen utensil within reach. I like background music without anyone around to influence my mood and palette. I sometimes prepare a meal at the same time that permeates the studio with delicious aroma's. I wear my Beret, as a final pre-requisite and sometimes dance naked under the light of a full moon on the Lava Flow near Kalapana, Hawaii. This is Art Show From The Lava Flow and consists of 240 Images created in Hawaii in the first part of the 21st Century that are Oil/Canvas while I struggled to survive and pay the rent, keep a car legal, and eat, drink, and be merry. I am 65 and have turned my studio into a semi- gallery with 50 Images hung for viewing. I made an excellent pasta yesterday, and today I am making Black Beans and Jasmine Rice. I just made a quart of special Hot Sauce with Hawaiian peppers, Mexican peppers and Filipino peppers, some Horseradish and spices, ginger, lime, and sea salt. Really Good........If your ever in Hawaii, Stop By......4.....Aloha
