Our neighbor, Alicia, wearing a very "Gagesque" ensemble I designed. I'm hoping to see her around somewhere and give her this picture. Who knows? She might wear this outfit in one of her shows!
Most Struts fans agree that Luke Spiller could comfortably fill the platform shoes of Dr. Frank N Furter for a Rocky Horror remake. His classic pretty yet, masculine features, bone chillingly delicious vocals and clipped Brittish accent make him a prime choice for the cult classic role. I painted this with loving care and tender regard for details using several prototypes including a frontal facial photo taken by renowned concert photographer, Barry Sigman (my adorable husband) So the question on everyone's mind is, if you were offered the role of Frank N, would you take it, Luke? Just remember, if you don't, you'll be wrrrlllllapped in your regret!
Out of all the paintings I've ever done, Peyton's Kiss has the most endearing story of all. Although I usually cringe at doing commissioned paintings, my long-time friend, Steve Adams, asked me to paint this picture of his friend Ashley's daughter, Peyton as a birthday gift. I thought....sheesh...a baby kissing a mirror?? How the hell am I going to do this one? It seemed like a daunting task but I went to work and finished it in less than a week, mailing it off in time for Ashley'sbirthday party.. I was so touched when Steve sent me a video of her opening her present. Here was lady whom I'd never met and yet, I got to touch her life through my artwork. God has blessed me with this talent and I never take it for granted. So here's Peyton.
There are so many John's out there but only ONE John Cowan. John C. That mane of platinum-gold spun hair, twinkling Irish eyes, and nimble blue grass picking fingers come together to make him an icon in both country and rock. I had the pleasure of meeting John C years ago in Gretna Louisiana and he was just as friendly n down-home as the music he plays. So...yee haw, John! Here is your painting! Welcome to the GSG!
