Musical "SCORES"

A SEATED

nude looking over librettos.

One of three male nudes

completed this week in Key West

at my Simonton Street studio.

Acrylic on Ampersand panel.

"A STRONG MAN" by David Scott Meier ; Key West

"A STRONGMAN"

(Acrylic on Ampersand panel)

Elegant, capable young man

in a trefoil'd border.

It's been wonderful working on that

rough ochre background

common to three panels.

"PEARLS' by David Scott Meier

"PEARLS"

is one of three male nudes

I've completed this week

in the Key West studio.

All are linked by subject, color, dimension

and materials:

in this case acrylic and pencil on Ampersand panel.

The borders are rich looking.

Here's a detailed look at another:

Blues on blues.....

PILOT parallel pens

My new toys...

Having fun in the Studio

with new pens, namely:

Crisp wet lines in different widths-

perfect for playing and informing

passersby off less-traveled Simonton Street.

Upcoming, entertaining greetings for the doorway at 316.

'Nothing like them in town.

Letters....I got letters.

Every day

I make a little sign

to let travelers know

where they are and the date.

It also means

my studio

is open.

Maximun occupancy: 4-ish.

I roll out what's left of my paints

onto some blocks I've carved.

This is a perfect little creative nugget

in a day that may be nothing but framing or UPS.

OUTSIDE and INSIDE

SUNNY

and warm in Key West.

Stopped by Wet Paint Gallery

to grab a shot of my new

"GOOD KISSER"

(oil on collage; 11 x 14 inches)

then back to my studio

to finish my

"PAPA CAT."

I added a beard and martini and extra toes....

He seemed like Mr. Hemingway with a round white face.

Three little mugs are we.....

I have done three designs for the shop next door.

Sweet Key West fish up top.

A Kissing Fish with dive flag scales
and
a cat who has drunk a martini: that's a stuffed olive in his tum-tum.

12 dollars each.
The Kissing Fish is also on a new tank top tee.

PEACHY!!!

THERE'S

a princess next door

at Pelican Poop!!!!

The cashier's post has

regal, antique gothic surroundings.

So Peach gets a sign...

and a few laughs.

Publicity!

Isn't that nice....
The Ampersand folks want to use this image for
their handsome advertising.
'Maybe because it shows a working artist.
"DRAWING BIRDS"
oil on 12 inch square panel.

AMPERSAND 
panels are my preference ;
there's no 'bouncing' , dentable canvas!
They are textured like canvas and some
of the cradle/ supports are deep enough
to hang unframed.

I like to paste wax the panel supports for a gallery finish.
That saves me framing costs and shipping, too.

"FASTER"

I KEEP

coming back to these speedy guys.

There's always a dachshund on board....

Oil on collage; 11 x 14 inches.

"WATER-PROOF"

LOYALTY

thy name is "dog."

Faithful hound is oil on canvas;

I made 25 prints, too.

Each will have the halo and heart decorated with gold.

Studio: 305 731-9342

"TRANCE"

"TRANCE"

has been seen in the studio and is getting attention.

And so a print (edition of 50) is offered here.

Best in a 16 x 20 frame and priced at $50.

Swimming away....

I refer to this painting

with two different titles, I find.

Call it

"HOSPITALITY"

or

"WELCOME."

I like the second title best,

and it pleases the nice, smiling, new owners, too.

The wall for it has not been built yet

but I know she'll be happy there.

I get to look at her 'til she moves.

Oil on canvas; 24 X 56 or so...

GOOD KISSER FOR T-SHIRT

DOODLING

for the printer.
