Lemon # 6 5" x 7" Christina Pickard and Robin Orbach Starke $100

This was from our "Lemon" series. It's one we like a lot....

This is our last lemon, at least for a while. Like most of them in the series, it has Arches paper collaged onto it, acrylic paint, lots of oil stick, oil pastel, and silver paint pen.

Raining Red 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

We've always liked this painting because of its quirky colors, multiple layers, and collaged bits. It seemed to be a good choice today because of the heavy rain we're having. No "red rain," but it does look very red on the radar.

We've just started working on a couple of new paintings, so the reruns are almost over--unless we decide to spend the weekend at the lake drinking warm, skunky, 3.2 beer and eating cheap hot dogs. We'll let you know what happens.

Aerial #3 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Another gray day, another catatonic stupor. If it's not work keeping us up too late, it's a little late-bedtime South Park starring Stanley's big-headed, mutant clone. "P-chonk. P-chonk. P-chewy chonk."

Why fight the catatonic stupor with bright, vibrant color? Forget pink. We're going with watery, languid aquas and blues....

We take salt, krugerrands, coins from that newly-found shipwreck in the Atlantic, money orders, cashier's checks, personal checks, and post-dated, two-party checks, personal checks.

New Painting #1 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

The blue painting that we were thinking of re-posting seemed to encourage the up-too-late-then-up-too-early catatonic stupor that's become all the rage these days with blogging painters. We went with bubble gum pink instead because it seemed like an excellent way to begin the day and because we haven't seen it in a while.

We take cash, green stamps, seashells, money orders, cashier's checks, and personal checks.

Candyland 6"x8" Christina Pickard and Robin Orbach Starke $100

Here is "Candyland" to set the weekend off right. This was part of our "Stripes" series where we had to have a continuing element of three stripes in each composition. This piece reminded us of the original Candyland game, the final Neopolitan dessert which was the grand prize, of the 1970's.

Luchador Portrait #3 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Don’t be fooled by the white luchador’s overeager smile and goofy demeanor—he still knows how to take care of business at the office. Sure, now that he’s off the “supplements,” he’s put on a few pounds, and, well, his tights have seen better days, but that still doesn’t stop him from kickin’ ass first and takin’ names later.

Luchador Portrait #1 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

We're rockin' it old school with Green Luchador and his psychedelic background. Much like a Labrador puppy or a fifth grade boy with ADHD, Green Luchador feels vaguely inappropriate, consistently sweet and goofy, and chock full o' bouncy energy. Of course he's Christina's favorite.

Luchador Portrait #2 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

We're thinking fresh donuts after the end of the school year... when Robin is done with her mac-daddy-two-Chevy-suburban-size sculpture and Christina is finished being the James Brown of arts integration. We think we feel good.

Until then, the luchadors are back in town. In honor of their return, here's a golden oldie from early January....

We love the blue luchador. He might not be as showy as the green one or as fierce as the bald, pony-tailed guy, but he seems solid and dependable. He’ll go to the grocery store for you and not gripe about the price of organic produce, remember to actually sort the laundry into whites and darks, and he probably puts the toilet seat down after he uses it. He doesn’t really like to talk much about his feelings, but he kicks ass in the ring. All in all a good guy.

Black #1 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

This was from our series of paintings that all started out with a black ground. Instead of a matte black for today's painting, we used Golden's gloss black, combined it with other acrylic colors, oil stick, and collage.

Rainy Day Lemon 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

We're re-naming this piece "Rainy Day Lemon." Well it rained again today, so we pulled out another rainy painting. We might have to do a "Blue Lemon" series, as an ode to Picasso.

Here Comes the Sun 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

We're re-naming this piece "Here Comes the Sun." Finally the sun came out today. Yeah!!

We are so water logged that everything is soggy, except our spirits. Hopefully the sun will stay awhile however, as if we needed more, rain is supposedly in the forecast. Tommorrow's painting will let you know how it turned out: rainy or shiny.

Lemon #3 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Yes, it's raining again in OKC....and it's getting old. REAL OLD.

Action City without the sun just isn't right, although it's sort of like London with better real estate prices and Seattle without all the Volvo wagons with "Say no to hate" bumper stickers lodged behind their bike racks.

Anyway, in honor of the gray day, blotted out sun, weather malaise, etc. We're bringing back "Lemon #3." It almost seemed too cruel to highlight an actual BRIGHT YELLOW, SUN-LIKE lemon--you know, reminding us of what we haven't seen in a while.

Aerial #1 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

When we were working on this painting in the studio, it starting to look like an aerial landscape--the kind we both love looking at when we're flying in a jet over the middle of the country, wishing that we had a camera.

And wishing that we were visiting somewhere QUIET, with lovely mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets with amazing thread counts... Did the storms in OKC about kill us last night/this morning? Good God, yes! Raise your hand if you're catatonic, can barely speak your mother tongue, and/or are walking like Herman Munster? We're dreaming of a LOOONNNG nap in a quiet, dry resort....Paging Scottsdale. Scottsdale, white courtesy phone.

Silver Flowers 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke SOLD

We realized that we still have a couple more spring flowers left in us to make. This one especially is appropriate because it has been so rainy and gray. The silver flowers hopefully portend a silver lining to the clouds which have been so numerous lately.

Lucha Landscape #3 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

This is one that we have always been drawn to -- please excuse the pun. We like the colors and the variation from thick to thin paint--and that thick, juicy circle rolling down the hill--it just makes us laugh.

Lucha Libre #3 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke SOLD

Here's another one we like...

This piece has acrylic, collage, oil pastel, oil stick, and graphite. Because we wanted the colors to have a very specific, quirky feel and a variety of textures, we blended a lot of the colors on the canvas directly and layered the oil pastel and oil stick over the acrylic.
