PYGOYA
MUSEUM opens in Mt. View! (2006)
On the
slopes of an active volcano,
At an
elevation of 4 thousand feet!
The
founder, artist "Pygoya"
is
himself an active volcano!
A
lifelong marathoner, devoted
father, and
indefatigable disco-dancer,
How does
he find time to paint???
and...................................................
appear at
international art events,
and
write
books, and articles, and create 3D ART
on
high-end computers,
and
Maintain
his own gigantic Web Museum?
No one
knows...least of all me.
To
investigate these and other
MYSTERIES....you
had better
check out
this site!
I am
in there,
Somewhere.
Which
leads me to ask...
Pygoya has
fallen in love with paint again.
It
reminds him of his youthful optimism as a
painter
starting out on a life-long" Marathon of
Art!"
Who among us would be ready to say that
Oils and
acrylics have had their day?
Not me, I
was subverted by the smell
of oil
paint a long time ago.
People
get ready, the time has arrived when
we should
take a second look at all of
those
"traditional" media! Heresy you say!
I wonder?
Was Rembrandt
on to something?
with all
of those Huge Gobs
of oil
paint?
And then
VanGogh!!
Not to be
outdone...
(by a
fellow Dutchman, no less)
painted
with even more paint than
anyone
ever thought possible.
Monet
went all the way.
He used a
trowel to ladle on the paint!
Thick
paint. Heavy paint. Dripping on
everything,
the light switch, the mirror,
the
sheets, the carpet your wife's undergarments!
And...
OUCH! Its on the COUCH!
Lest we
loose our happy homes to chaos,
some
moderation is in order!
Painting
is fun,
However,
this harmless pastime
can
quickly become
a menace
to household order
and
domestic peace!
Oil
paints, varnishes, solvents....
all very
dangerous stuff.
"This
stuff could
Kill Ya,
kid."
The devil can
take
the
hindquarters!
Look out
Cleveland!
Painting
is making a comeback!
And our
lives will never be the same!
Pygoya is
just a bit ahead of his time,
like he
always has been!
Only this
time he is...
Leading
the charge,
with his
PAINT
BRUSH
IN
HAND!!!
Cheers,
Pygoya, onward and upward!
