leprechauns and elves

Well it looked like a giant industrial lemonade stand.  Two thick pieces of 6X8 foot metal joined together by four large metal columns close together on one end.  Covered with dirt.  Along with the entire street every yard.


The weird thing about this corporate lemonade stand was that there is a huge hole dug underneath it only partially covered by the stand itself almost as if it were saying step up get some lemonade and disappear.


And there is no lemonade no one manning the stand...!  


And there are four more of these strange stands  as you look up and down this street.  They are all slightly different each one made differently and some painted some very tall others not.


Could these be mad leprechauns ?  Tricky elves that live on the shore of the lake in the woods ?




One hardly knows.  It was so bizarre and quiet this morning.  It looks somewhat like those old photographs you see of Germany at the end of the war.



The wind blowing through brought gales of dust and dirt.  No cars came down the street.  It was closed.  Everything seemed wrecked. Bombed out.

  1. Doug, you have been amazingly prolific! And it is making me hungry whenever I look at these! Why is that? The colors are so food like, I think...

  2. I have not seen any of these except the Izze one!
    You must realize these are more chaotic, or I should say, almost more angry paintings - to me. Especially 1st, 4th, 6th and 7th.
    Ok, #2. Shed New Light. I am thinking about this phrase. It applies to the most current paintings, the most recent ones you have posted.
