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

We think this weekend is Fair painting weekend. It's also the time when we wash our hair, clean our ovens, make casseroles for the week, and defrost the freezer, but we'll see if we can squeeze in some art.

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

Fair countdown? T minus one day and counting. We've got a digital clock counting down the hours, minutes, and seconds in the studio, and we're still visualizing and preparing mentally like fighters before the big Las Vegas matchup.

Will we eat a cinnamon roll, check with the state treasurer for lost riches, listen for a redneck father to call out, "Anakin! Git over here!" as he yells at his kindergartner in a mullet, milk a cow, smell the barn smell, almost buy a mop or a set of AMAZING knives or cookware, and then eat more fried things? We're thinkin' yes.

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

Fair Fun on a rainy day. We're planning on going Friday morning for some artistic recon. Will we eat many fried things? Yes. In true girly-girl fashion we'll probably split them. Then wash them down with overpriced, but delicious, lemonade.

Will we get our glasses cleaned, get our personalities tested, join the John Birch Society, look into the UAW, sit in a massage chair, crawl in a tornado shelter, taste jam, look at beautiful, but now molding, prizewinning cakes, and then eat more fried things? You betcha.

Daquiri Ice #2 5" x 7" Christina Pickard & Robin Orbach Starke $100

More than an ode to Baskin Robbins today, we've got a little BR/Homer/Philip Guston mash-up going on. We liked it. It felt good. Kinda graphic, kinda expressionistic, good colors. Rest assured we will never create ANY sort of Braum's mash-up. Well, maybe cherry limeade related, but come on, Braum's is sort of its own mash-up every time you walk in the door. Enjoy the Daquiri Ice.

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

We've got a little ode to Baskin Robbins workin' here. And, oh, by the way, we shouldn't have to drive halfway across the county (up to Edmond) just to get a little taste of the sweet, sweet Daquiri goodness. BR, where's a store in our 'hood?

Also, don't try to tell us we could go to Braum's for some neighborhood ice cream. No. We can't. Braum's is only good for three things. Milk. Limeades (cherry or plain). And screwing up your order.

We're coming Indian Taco booth, Televac 86,000 personality test machine, and table of John Birchers. Don't worry cheese dog and fresh lemonade guy, we'll be there soon.

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

Is it odd that we're rerunning a painting that we showed only five weeks ago? Well, yeah, but this painting kicks ass and deserves a nice home. Seriously, it's good, and we're dying to see it and the rest of the Homers six feet high. We're thinking about it....
