OK, this is going to be one of the longest posts I have made. It includs eight paintings inspired by the show Twin Peaks. All of which are portraits of various characters. These are for a show at Gallery 1988 in LA called Idiot Box, which opens April 2. It should be a good ol’ time.
Anyhow, here are the paintings. All roughly 8″x5″ acrylic on bass wood panels.

Special Agent Dale Cooper, as played by Kyle MacLachlan
“Black as midnight on a moonless night.”

Audrey Horne, as played by Sherilyn Fenn
“Do your palms ever itch?”

Pete Martell, as played by Jack Nance
“There was a fish… in the percolator.”

Deputy Andy Brennan, as played by Harry Goaz
“It’s my civic duty and I like whales.”

Dr. Lawrence Jacoby as played by Russ Tamblyn
“Hang loose haoles.”

The Log Lady as played by Catherine E. Coulson
“One day my log will have something to say about this.”

The Giant as played by Carel Struycken
“The things I tell you will not be wrong.”

The Man From Another Place as played by Michael J. Anderson
“That gum you like is going to come back in style.”
I also attempted a Sarah Palmer painting, but it did not succeed. I might post it later along with a boat load of process for this whole series.
Until then, or the next painting(s) I make, later.

Awesome! Even though I don’t like that show and think it’s lame, I like these painting and think they’re NOT lame!
What a twist!

Comment by sabrina 03.04.09 @ 9:00 pmI only ever saw a couple of episodes – these are making me want to see the shows just to see these characters. Love the way they just fall off the edges of the slabs into and over the bard.
Log Lady? Are you sure? I think it may be your mother in disguise!
