Dick Cheney Doing His “Clean Air Act” in Pretend Hell 2015. Acrylic on canvas, 96 x 48"

It was an ant-fracking piece using war criminal and ex-U.S.Vice President, Dick Cheney, as a model. It got zero reviews at exhibition, and no bites at sales. It’s been producing cobwebs in the studio, so I chose it as one of several for deep storage.

Re-stretch over frame, and by magic, fit it onto easel in cramped studio space. Gesso (primer) it.

Paint for three days.

Knock over paints and paraphernalia on way to take photograph of new painting in the backyard.

Our house gets skunk-sprayed at least once a year. The stink sticks on everything, especially brass doorknobs. The painting suggests that the skunk is getting bolder.
