Finger Painting

June 29, 2012 @ 8:22 PM, I had 120 seconds to paint three dancers. John White gave me the details and asked if I was interested in doing a show for Pamela Pilkenton. I told John I’d have to get back to him—then immediately asked my wife how she would feel if I painted three nude dancers. I explained I would be touching these women, but not inappropriately. I’m not sure if my wife believes in God, but I know she believes in me.

Well, I am just too tired, too lazy, or too beat up to write any more about last night.

Thank you:

the principals of Performance Art.

inviting me to be a part of yours.

(I used washable tempura paint.)

I hope this slideshow sums up whatever I missed.
