“Hill Country Sunset, 1978 and 2000”

Mixed Media

I saw this sunset from a barbeque place on Bee Cave Road in Austin, Texas. First, I painted it and face to my former girlfriend’s mother. Years later, she asked me if I wanted it back since she’d moved into new place and there was no room for it. I then created new pieces of wood cut to represent arms signing sunset and attached them to the original. That is why it has two signatures and dates, 1978 and 2002. With 24 years of evolution in my style, I never though of it at the time as I would today.

“Art No. 2, 1993”

Painting

This is a self portrait; see the artist signing in ASL, "art" as if it lights up when he moves. His pinky finger represents the medium like a brush or pencil and the palm is like a canvas to paint or draw on. The illumination from his chest shows that it came from his heart. Also, "heart" rhymes with "art."
