I recently painted live at a bar and the experience was great. I painted this painting below of a gorilla. I also just had a show at a cafe that serves healthy organic food. My whole house now smells like that food, it is awesome. The energy of my paintings was enjoyed by staff and customers and my paintings absorbed the smells and energy of them. An exchange if you will. My point is that art should be where people are, where people live. Not stuffed away in a gallery with awkward silences or stare downs with guards in museums. I have never enjoyed myself more then this summer, sharing my art with people at festivals, bars, and cafe's. Art and life and people. I say yes!
