The Valley of Grins

'The Valley of Grins'
Oil on Canvas'
140cm x 100cm

'Gargantuan goofs with glaring great gnashers
In the Valley of Grins through the gloaming they gander
Gormlessly gawking like a gaggle of gits
Galumphing about in such glorious grandeur.'

This is another piece from the recent show. It was a brilliant night and a great experience. Thanks so much to everyone who came, and thankyou to the staff at Gallery 139, Luke Jurevicius, Adam Johnson, Dave Solm, Claire and the staff from Tin Cat, Josh and Owen from Merge Magazine for helping make it such a terrific show. I will hopefully post a few pics soon.

I love how the dirt/rocks are actually heaps of differnet colours like yellow, blue/grey, peachy, pink, but when i look at the painting as a whole, my brain is sort of tricked into beleving all the rocks are the same color brown haha, its great!
