Homer + Joan #3 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Lots more black in this one, but we're still in love with the whole Homer + Joan thing--like WEIRD in love. We're hooked, and now we want to see them BIG. Not Kiefer big, but BIG. We'll see what transpires. In the mean time, enjoy.

Okay, it's official. We're hooked on this combination of abstract expressionist marks and brushstrokes combined with the graphic lines and shapes inspired by The Simpsons. The beers are on us over at Moe's.

Stripes #4 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Okay, we've got fresh paintings sitting at a truck stop in Tucumcari, but that's not very helpful this morning. No early morning delivery, no box of fresh paintings, no eight track tapes. At least we have enough pink foam rollers.... Some heads are gonna roll in Fresno.

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

Well, no fresh paintings today. Somehow, the home office in Fresno messed up our shipment, and all we got on our early morning delivery was a box of paintings from this past winter, a plastic bag of eight track tapes, and some of those pink foam rollers that Robin uses for her hair. Sorry for the mix-up, but rest assured, we'll straighten it out.

Homer + Joan 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Colors, shapes, and outlines down below, a monotype in acrylic on top. We like it. Again. Still fresh and vibrant--this time like a love child of Homer J. Simpson and Joan (still grouchy and unapproachable, but talented) Mitchell. We don't expect that Ms. Mitchell was a big Simpsons fan, but Homer couldn't have had a love child with early Phillip Guston or DeKooning.

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

Colors and shapes down below, a monotype in acrylic on top. We liked it. It felt fresh and vibrant--sort of like a love child of Jack (Book 'em, Dan-o) Lord and Joan (I'm grouchy and unapproachable, but talented) Mitchell.

Flowers Revisited 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Yes, this one is a rerun, but we thought it was sold, now it's not, and we LOVE this one. Everyone seems to love this one. We think it's the flowers, the darker colors, and that inky black line snaking across the monotype. Sometimes elegant, sometimes goofy as all hell--we're all about it.

Like a puppy up for adoption, we're giving "Flowers Revisited" another chance.

Black and White #1 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Flooded Aerial 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Okay, rain AGAIN. Enough already. Uncle. Okay? Anyway, this felt like an aerial, and then we printed something from one of Wyatt's paintings on top of it, and it felt like a flooded aerial. There you go.

On the Road 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

We're taking a short break from birthday cakes and flowers, although as francophiles, we made a gateau for Bastille Day that we'll have to serve up on the 13th. As for today's painting, it could almost have been from our "Aerial" series, but it just sort of happened--totally unplanned, and sort of a surprise.

Summer Party 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Okay, we're hot for the flowers again, and we've been thinking about birthday cakes since our friend, Cyndy, commissioned a birthday donut from us. Birthday cake is fun--moist birthday cake rules (not necessarily with ice cream, but that's another blog), but it's hard not to love those flowers. They're just sort of odd. Kinda quirky, a little weird, familiar, unfamiliar, almost addictive. More flower/cake variations on the way. Stay tuned.

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

Is leftover monotype the artistic equivalent of leftover meatloaf? Not sure. But if they're both high quality, they rule.... Here it is--leftover monotype, (again, of course) our old pal--Golden Gloss acrylic, and silver paint pen.
