Waiting for clearer skys

I finished this painting for a friend. Its of his wife's family as they prepare to leave the Thai refugee camp they were in to immigrate to America(California). Keven's wife was the baby in this picture being held by her mother. Her grandfather on the right was a governor of their tribe. 

This family was from the Lao and Mein Tribes which supported the Royal Lao Government and which the father holding the sign in the painting was a general. They were also supported by secret American involvement. 

After the Indochina war in the mid-50's Laos gained its independence from France. Which was followed by a subversive militant Communist uprising that drew the country into an agonizing civil war. Every Tribe was somehow effected by the war, or involved in the war, during the 1960's. Especially when the elements of war arrived on their door step, leaving them no other option but to flee, suffer, die or resist. 

These, and other honorable Tribal identity peoples of Laos, produced self-sufficient men, women and children of great courage, who survived the hardships of poverty, drought, isolated lifestyles, who sacrificed and suffered the attributes of generations of war-after-war thrust upon their peoples by other Tribes of their own countrymen, and even by other Clans of their own Tribe, and by hundreds of years of foreign invaders.

One night only - Santa's Workshop!

Tonight @ Hatch Gallery

6-9pm 

One night only - Santa's Workshop!

A selection of the artists in the PREVIEW 09 show will be on hand to create whatever your heart desires for only $20.  

and enjoy a not-so-sneak preview of the PREVIEW 09 show at Hatch Gallery. 

Hatch Gallery proudly presents 13 artists of various mediums, who comprise half of the artists to be shown in the 2009 season. While PREVIEW 09 will illustrate the variety of work that Hatch will be showing this year, it is also serving as the foundation step towards building a cohesive, albeit seasonal, trajectory of art shows at Hatch Gallery. Starting with Spring and ending with Winter, the ideas and art at Hatch will follow a lifecycle beginning in February with a show that feels young - and as the months pass the shows will develop, as the seasons do (as we do), growing through various mediums, ideas and technologies towards the final somber end in January 2010. Our hope is that through implementing this seasonal schedule, the exhibitions will have a greater ability to dialogue with the audience throughout the course of the year –

My sources tell me that Mr. Houston, a good friend, just made an art sale to Julian Schnabel over at Art Basel Miami! Congratulations Zack! Keep an eye out for Zack, if you see him buy a poem, Julian did. Or you can say Nate sent you and steal one. Zack is Cranestyle's Kook artist/poet of the month.
