On my visit home this May, I got to hang out at the studio a bit and the walls are lacking a certain... quantity of wall-art. My homeboy said they had been looking for someone with my painting "skills" (If you can really call them skills, I need art school badly. I'd call it "potential") So I offered to snap some photos and paint him something to hang on the wall. I wanted to try to use my acrylics in a different way this time, and a little birdy told me I can use acrylics like watercolors, so I thought, let's give it a..."

Neither picture has true-to-life color. One was taken with the flash, and one without. Also, both are blurry because my old camera got a piece of sand in it.

Jogging through a misty dead forest, I almost ran into a tree with a piano-looking growth. It is important to mention that it was not a piano that had been slowly consumed by sitting over a sapling, but a structure that had naturally grown over many years. I found that I could play it, and liked that it was out in the woods where no one could hear me..."

I loved drafting classes and all of the different art classes too. My art teacher organized some of the best art students there and had them paint a few organized and approved murals around the school. I was allowed to paint a Space Shuttle mural upstairs on the big 2-story wall just outside the library. I was also into space, and I had some NASA photos and mission patches and I basically just painted a collage of some of the items in that material. I dedicated the mural to the crew of the Challenger mission that was lost during their launch on January 28th, 1986. I took these photos in the summer of 2002, so the mural was at least there for 14 years. I think they had to paint over it a few years ago, though. More photos and more information about the mural can be found here: http://leucht.com/blog/?p=74..."

One (not so good) reason is that we made the Dr. Seuss Room (http://cre.ations.net/creation/dr-seuss-mural-room) for our first child and wanted to be fair. Mostly, we wanted to create a living space that was bright and cheery for our new little baby. And we also wanted an environment that helped spawn our child's imagination and creativity. We both enjoy Sandra Boynton books (and audio CD's) very much, and it seemed to us that most of the Sandra Boynton characters and scenes used bright primary colors. Plus, these books just make us smile. Also, I really like to draw and paint. So, after I drew up some sketches of the room using scenes from a couple of Sandra Boynton books that we had laying around the house, it was not difficult to talk my wife into the Sandra Boynton mural scheme. More photos and more information about the mural can be found here: http://www.leucht.com/boynton/ NOTICE: Characters and scenes TM..."
