The back story to this finger painted oil painting of a sunset. The last night before I earned my Bachelor's degree. I had read the book 8 times. I KNEW the materials. But for once, I couldn't sleep. So I started to doodle with oil paints and saw a gorgeous picture of this sunset and just started letting my fingers slide, and by 6 a.m. there it was! True story. I then went to school (commuting 45 miles! with no sleep!) and did fabulous on the final, got my Bachelor's and a proud owner of a sunset painting. I took the wet painting with me and showed my professor, and it astounded him. Dunno if it was because I got no sleep, and still managed to show up, or did so well on the test..... Aw man.... this photo does NOT do justice to the painting. Dunno why it is so dim.....oh well, you get the point.

WHOA!

I've always been astounded by your art. All of it. You are crazy smart in ways that others are not. Pretty sure I told you that a million years ago in Internet time. Pretty sure I used the word savant, too. ;-)

I don't know how your brain makes your fingers do what you imagine or see. Thus the astounded part. :-)

I wish that my way of looking at the world could come out in paint. But it doesn't.

I can imagine Philo Sofee as an actor and be in a comedy movie.

Watch this. I'm gonna embarrass the living hell out of him because why not.

We all KNOW what DeNiro would really say to Pence, (What the F**K you smokin Pence?!) but I am posting this publically, so I put the G rated version. It's not my original DeNiro, I ain't that good by a long shot, but it is my caricature of a caricature, something I saw a professional artist say makes for great practice, and he's right! Anyway, enjoy!

People read left-to-right, so shouldn't Mike Pence be to the left, and Robert DeNiro to the right, so we can read Pence's words first?

He does look like him. I think Philo has the potential to be the next Jim Carrey.
