Here’s another scrabble inspired piece. When completing this painting I took a break to do some spring yard cleaning, and came across several saplings. It was a little early for any identifying leaves so I assumed (never do that) it was a hickory just like all the other large trees on the lot. I took the pruner, lopped them off, and carried with other small pines that were cropping up. Two days later I had several spots that were quite itchy. Yep, a very good case of poison sumac. The doctor gave me a 2 week prescription for steroids.

I’m not joining the likes of alleged use by Alex Rodriguez or Barry Bonds because #1 I’m not taking these things voluntarily and #2 it’s not that kind (anabolic) steroid, but none the less, I haven’t been getting much sleep at night since starting the regimen.

So with tongue in cheek, I’m putting a challenge in front of myself to see how many paintings I can get done over the next 10 days starting tomorrow – April 1st. My current average is about 1 a week, but I know I can do more and I’m a believer that the more you do, the better you become.

I’ll be tweeting about it here and there if you want to follow my progress on twitter.

Thanks!

I’m sorry this painting is already sold, however I would entertain a commission should you have a special word in mind. Find out about custom word paintings here.
