Media: Acrylic mixed media on French Canson paper
Size: 25.5x19.5 in
This still life of exploding flower-ness is what my people usually look like....but, I had a wonderful Oscar Party on Sunday. It was packed with food, fun, and my neighbors and friends ALL dressed in chic black. It started with my youngest son when he was about 8 years old. He LOVED films. He checked giant books out of the library to read about different directors, how they made their films, what the various genres were. Was he different from his peers? Heck yeah, AND we all adored him! So, at about age 8, he requested that we all (family and friends) have an Oscar party, dress up, (he made ballots for us all to vote on the films ahead of time), he even made us mocktails: martinis 'shaken not stirred', as a nod to the ever dapper James Bond. I mean, he took it all VERY seriously...and we went with it. So this year, I requested that everyone dress in black, we had a chef (my incredible neighbor who is actually a Sommelier!!! cooked for us) and champagne. It was so much fun...plus a bonus for a visual person such as myself...as I looked around my living room, we LOOKED fantastic! Even the chef looked like freaking Leonard Cohen in a dark suit!!! It was all so good, that I got mentally carried away and thought, "Wait, should I institute a dress code/ At my house? Every day?....Ok Pam, calm down....
