Flower at a Party 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Here's another not-so-golden-oldie. We love it and have no idea why it hasn't sold. Come on, people. It's hard-loaded and priced to move....

We take money orders, complicated financing, post-dated two-part checks, vouchers, scrip, cashier's checks, and personal checks.

Soft Cell 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

This is a recent rerun, but we thought that the light colors sort of fit a hazy, cloudy day like today.

We take money orders, really fresh pineapples, massages, green stamps 'cause we're feeling nostalgic (still), cashier's checks, and personal checks.

Homer + Joan 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Here's the one that started the whole "Homer + Joan" series. The fact that we fell in love with the expressionistic brushstrokes and the graphic, black line, led us to the goofy Homer-loving discussion in the first place. It's a rerun we still really love. It's pretty Nipsy. Enjoy.

Floating in the Sea 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

We painted this weekend and have about twelve paintings that we passed back and forth. They look promising, and we like them a lot. The catch is, they're not finished. So... more of our favorites for a little while.

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

Okay, this is from our "Lucha Landscape" series, but we started the week riding the Nipsy train, and that's how we're going out. So... it is officially (at least for this week) known as "Nipsy Russell #4" We love this painting a lot, so be nice and show Nipsy some more love.

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

We're not looking to beat the whole Nipsy Russell thing like a dead horse, but it's sometimes difficult to name our paintings, and this one had a totally lame, descriptive name, so... here's "Nipsy Russell #3." Show Nipsy some love.

Nipsy Russell #2 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

The Nipsy Russell love fest continues unabated. We're ridin' the rerun train, finding pieces we've enjoyed from throughout the year, orphans who weren't really receiving their due. Anyway, Robin's working on her bigass (official artistic term you might not understand) sculpture, and Christina's getting ready for school, a little arts integration, and catching up on "All My Children." The plot line's not really important, and who the hell knows what's going on in Pine Valley anyway, but we're pretty sure that someone needs to take his shirt off. Right about...now. So we're still loving it, and it's pretty Nipsy. We're going to try to start painting together again over the weekend, so stay tuned....

Two Turntables and a Microphone 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke SOLD

We forgot to post yesterday which is sort of surprising. It's become such a workweek habit that forgetting is a little like leaving your child (or like one woman we know, your teacup poodle) in the grocery store. Sort of a panic-inducing no-no. Anyway, rest assured that no children and no teacup poodles were harmed with the forgetting of yesterday's blog.

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

Yes, this is a rerun, and no, its real name is not "Nipsy Russell #1," but in the middle of August, where our "cool front" is bringing temperatures in the mid-90's (ooh, brrr!), we're ALL about dark blues and watery blues. So we're loving it, and it's Nipsy. It's so Nipsy.

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

Okay, maybe we've rerun this before, but if we have, think of it as a "Bewitched" with Serena or Uncle Arthur or a Hawaiian "Brady Bunch" or even a "Match Game" with Nipsy Russell AND Charles Nelson Reilly. This is a high-quality rerun, and it kicks ass. It's so Nipsy. We love it.

Remember, if you hear some hipster doofus say that something "is so Nipsy," you heard it here first. As in NOW. We're humble, but occasionally we demand our props.

Aerial #4 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Homer + Joan #13 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Okay, here's the same the blue-green base, with some red and a flower for good measure. Think of this one as I'm-sorry-I-missed-the-Summer-of-Love-Homer.

Homer + Joan #12 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

We're still workin' the blue-green base, with a touch o' pink here and there. This is I'm-comfortable-enough-with-my-sexuality-to-use-pink-Homer.

Homer + Joan #11 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

Same semi-transparent blue-green base, but a lot of bright red and a more fluid graphic line. This is slightly more elegant Homer.

We take money orders, pesos, Canadian dollars, scrip (not Red Lobster), cashier's checks, and personal checks.

Homer + Joan #10 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

This one had sort of a transparent, blue-green base, and we decided to go with thicker layers of pinks and oranges and yellows floating on top.

We take money orders, blue paint, green paint, gelato, cashier's checks, and personal checks.

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

This one might not look like an homage to Joan Mitchell or deKooning (minus the semi-misogynistic tendencies) or even early Philip Guston, but, trust us, those marks are lurking beneath the forms. Our base layer was one of blues, greens, and some yellows, and there are certain spots where you can still see it coming through.

Homer + Joan #7 6" x 8" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

This is another one with lots of layers and colors. Recently, we've been passing them back and forth more often, and so this batch of "Homer+ Joan" paintings tends to have sections with lots of thick paint that have been really worked.
