This is the latest version but not yet completed version of The Yellow Land, the painting I started live at What The Festival.  I have had it home for a month now and it is so close to being done.  Little things to make right.  It already has a home, thank you Jem.  I will be sad to see it go so soon but I know where it will be living.  I call my approach to live painting "Painting With Sharks".  The painting is my scuba gear and my shark cage.  It keep me alive and breathing in the middle of the world outside of my studio where there are so many other amazing things to interact with.  Thank you people of What The Festival, and Mount Hood, and the rain, and the wind and everything else for helping to inspire this work. 

I started this at What The Festival This year.  I have been adding oils. It was a little to festy for me but now it is becoming less dogmatic and more intense and fluid.  The main character is still morphing.  He-she has had 4 or five faces already.  Foreground and background are becoming more solid but still ghost like.  As of this point the mouth has closed and the eye has shifted.  Four feet by six feet.
