Daily Keemo 08.30 - Gas Mask




Gas Mask 15
Click


I keep this list of words near my desk where I paint. (I use the word paint loosely) The list of words ranges from peoples names to words like plumber, raygun, accident, old rotary style phone, silly things like that. This list comes in handy when I have painters block. One of my favorite words on the list are "gas mask". (Some of you may remember a while back the series of Gas Mask paintings.) Well, I've decided to revisit some of those old series and add to them. What better than to start with the old Gas Mask series. So, with that, here #15 in the Gas Mask series.... Enjoy!

Daily Keemo 07.09 - Mask 2



Ninja Mask #2
(vintage 50's fabric and Beulah's cinnamon roll recipe)

Click

I knew that I wanted to use fabric on this ninja mask so I started hunting around for the right choice. I was going through a bunch of fabric that we have here and found a bunch of fabric that was given to us by Great Grandma Clute. She passed away a few years back and we still talk about her homemade cinnamon rolls. We try to make them but they never taste as good as hers did. She lived in rural Michigan and was very self reliant. Before she passed away she left different things to all of us. This red cowboy fabric was one of the things that she left us. I can just see her in the 50's sewing a cowboy shirt out of it With that, here is the second ninja mask with awesome vintage fabric from Great Grandma Clute. (In her honor, the winner of this Ninja Mask will also receive her awesome Cinnamon Roll recipe.) ... Enjoy!

Daily Keemo 05.23 - Mask 2



Mask #2
Click

I have been wanting to do masks for quite a while but I guess I just haven't gotten around to it. I have always been intrigued by them. (who isnt?) Then my brother and sister-in-law (everyone should be so lucky to know these two people) mention that they have located some masks that would be perfect for painting. (The two of them are amazing at finding stuff). I know, I said the same thing for Mask #1 but I thought I better just thank the two of them again for thinking of me... Enjoy! (Thanks B and J!)

Mask #1

Then my brother and sister-in-law (everyone should be so lucky to know these two people) mention that they have located some masks that would be perfect for painting. (The two of them are amazing at finding stuff). So, for this first mask, I guess there really is no great story other than this is Mask #1 and I have to thank the two of them for thinking of me... Enjoy! (Thanks B and J!)
