This painting was inspired by a poem by Karen Weyant for Broadsided Press
( http://www.broadsidedpress.org/ ).
SHIFT
Advice for Women on the Graveyard Shift
Never wear a white t-shirt: it will gray in 20 minutes.
Thick dust through thin cotton will darken your skin,
and the material, once loose, will grow tight to your breasts.
Just watch: coworkers will stammer at your chest.
Carry quarters for vending machines. Forget what they say
about caffeine – you need that extra kick at 3 a.m., that push
to get through breakfast at home, scrambling eggs, signing
permission slips, finding your daughter's matching pink socks.
And don't even consider that switch to daylight, thinking
You will go back to a world where the 6 a.m. alarm
actually wakes you, where you could schedule dentist appointments,
and parent-teacher conferences without losing sleep.
You have been here too long. Now it's all biological ---
You wake up hearing presses, smelling hot metal and heat.
You want to load furnaces, measure pieces, push barrels
of finished parts to final inventory. You wake up sweating.

A while back, I began a canvas, shipped it off to The Canadian Master of the Whimsical Visual Riddle, Helene Lacelle - aka eBay id NeonMatisse. She finished the piece then listed and sold it at auction on eBay.
Here is the final product, Village People:
Now, we have done it again but in reverse. Helene sent me a started piece and I finished it. Although, I have to admit, I loved what she sent me so much I had a hard time altering it and now am having and even harder time putting it up for sale (it would look amazing in my living room).
But alas, here it is, offered to you in all it's surreal glory, FRAY:
This piece will go up at auction the evening of November 21st, 2008. You can click the image to go to the auction.
ENJOY!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there are a lot of fantastic artists selling original work on eBay. One of my favorites is Helene Lacelle, also known as her id, NeonMatisse.
A short while ago I asked her if she would be interested in collaborating with me in creating some paintings. Happily, she said she would and off we went... I sent her a started canvas which she finished in her whimsical, quirky, marvelous way.
Here is VILLAGE PEOPLE:
16" x 20" gallery wrapped canvas
Click the image to view the auction! And check back because soon it will be my turn to finish one of Helene's fantastical paintings...
