Spring Painting #2 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100
Catatonic Stupor, Part Three can be blamed on South Park, nervous energy/insomnia, pets, Joyce DeWitt, paperwork/email worries for work, (no more) Spring Break, and daylight savings time.... At least we posted early.
Hate that Spring Break...

New Painting #4 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100
Okay, so this catatonic stupor/late posting can't be blamed on South Park. Let's blame it on the two-hour Hawaii Five-O movie that we watched in Robin's basement with her husband, Craig. And the new cell phones that we purchased and messed with until late into the night.
Book 'em Dano....
Love that Spring Break...

New Painting #3 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100
At this point we are both slightly catatonic from staying up for the late rerun of South Park--Cartman, Osama, and an Afghani goat who Cartman claimed was"choking on the sweet, sweet air of freedom" in the United States. Anyway, we're hoping that this is indeed an actual fresh, new painting.
Love that Spring Break...

Aerial #6 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100
This was one of those paintings which comes along only once in a blue moon where everything comes together in the first go around. Robin started this one and Christina finished it. It was that simple. We loved the washy feel to it with the added texture and physicality of the oil stick.

Aerial #5 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100
We liked the topographical quality to this painting, and for that reason opted to include it as an "Aerial." Some of the white paint has a little modeling paste in it--just enough to give it a smooth, gentle texture, as opposed to the sharper, more pronounced texture that you can get with straight modeling paste.

Aerial #4 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100
This one is quicker and washier than many of our paintings on the blog, and we liked the light, spontaneous feel enough to keep it.

Aerial #3 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100
This felt sort of watery and dreamy and still sort of aerial at the same time. We used Golden's high-gloss black for the forms underneath and lots of lovely aqua and blue collaged tissue on top.

Aerial #2 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100
Neither or us has been in a plane where we've seen an aerial landscape like this, full of pinks, magentas, and oranges, but it's in the same series as yesterday which officially makes it an "Aerial."
Today's colors give the painting a sort of post-modern, Candyland-flyover feel to it which of course brings us back to our unexplored ode to 1973 Candyland. Maybe that should happen in the next few weeks.... Spring has always felt very Candyland.
