| I paint on my welding table! Acrylics mostly and about 15 colors and very cheap paint brushes. They don't have to  |

| Here I am playing. Some might call it developing "technique" but I am really just having fun. Often I will paint over my paintings several times, keep doing it until I like the results. Here I am discovering what a simple paint roller will do. I often create a back- ground first and then add a focal point. |

| Paintings do not have to be "real", do not have to copy life or do what a camera will do. They can be fun, representative and playful. |
Painting is therapy also and another way to express yourself. It is a way to pass time and have something to show for it, something you did that day.
There is a little art in everything I do and you can see more of what I do here http://www.artwanted.com/slate

Yeah, I don't have to debate with you. :) I agree with everything you've said here. I'm trying to be more abstract, but it's hard. I'll have to try some acrylic on my steel and see what happens.
Well, I sure think this is pretty, Jerry.
These are wonderful Jerry. So happy and full of life!. You have a great eye for colour and colour combinations.
Love the vitality in these works .... hope they are permanent and not 'wipe aways'!
You have a good eye Jerry. Well done! Your creative brain works a treat...
I like the red swirly one. It will be my book cover, when I write the book of course! Painting should definitely not be too 'photographic' for that, we have cameras!
