Sometimes ideas just come to mind that I can’t resist. I probably should, but I don’t. There is something almost surreal about this image. Is it three dimensional or two dimensional? It may be both. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the “potty humor.” It might make a nice addition to your bathroom, or as I like to think of it as “the study.”
Look for a feature about my “Postcards from Texas” in the upcoming September issue of Texoma Living! magazine published in the Sherman/Denison area.
A word about my weekly original paintings:
Each painting that is sold must be dry to the touch before it is sent out. That can often take a week or more. Even then, the paint is not fully cured. If you receive your painting wrapped in bubble wrap, that is only for protection during shipping. You should unwrap it so more air reaches it and it has time to cure. In my research I found that art museum conservationists believe that it takes an oil painting 60 to 80 years to completely dry where all the molecular bonding of paint pigments takes place. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait that long to enjoy them.
