Fireworks, Or At Least Some Applause?
by Cooper on 11/24/2009 3:48:46 PM

Greetings,

Welcome to the Cooper studio, on a rainy Jefferson, Iowa day. We even had thunder during the night! But the temperature remains ABOVE freezing, so yea for that!

Now. About that title up there: Fireworks, Or At Least Some Applause. I am trying to give myself a good review here. Is that even legal? Better yet, who cares? Way back in April of 2007, I ended up with some photos that I knew needed to develop into a painting, and yes, dated photos, so definitely April 2007. Uh huh, it's taken that long. So the next time you are at an art show and feel compelled to ask the question, "how long did that take you?", you are now prepared to soak in any sort of answer. There are paintings out there that can be painted in a day, and then there are those that take two and a half years.

And as I write this, it just occurred to me that I have to go sign this one yet. But it's photo-d, and logged into my inventory file. So at long last, we are calling it complete. I think I will go put on a pot of coffee, and celebrate a little. This one makes me feel pretty successful. Maybe I can even give myself a little applause :)

Friend, acrylic painting on an impressive 40 x 40 inch canvas. The exact trouble with a 40 x 40 inch canvas is that you need to see it in person, the real painting, not just an image on your computer screen. Yes, I think it's impressive on the computer screen, but you should see it in person. Dare I say, that you would have to stop for a while in front of this one. Hey wait, some of you can do that! I am planning on having this one at exhibit at the University Of Iowa Thieves Market, during the weekend of December 5th and 6th. University of Iowa Memorial Union, in Iowa City, Iowa.

Later, Cooper
