This is a recent painting by MedinaParkes, a collaborative work between artists A. D. Medina and M. Parkes. We will be posting more recent work soon.

Also will be listing selected older work here in the coming days as “buy it now” on ebay. (Beginning with the better pieces, three this evening which Emily picked out.) Prices will be very reasonable.

Finally I see where this is all going and it is GLORIOUS! God in his rich favor and blessing upon me has withheld the better wine until the very last.

Everything up to this point has simply been preparation, studies, visually “thinking out loud” until I finally understood myself and the way I see life. It is so obvious, so simple, so elegant and it will be my art, my gift to God and to my fellow man, my beloved fellow citizens of this wonderful ride called “our lives”.

I see every work of art I have ever done in my life from til this day (or maybe tomorrow) as “early work”. » Read the rest of this entry «
