In November 2005, Great Northern Gallery hosted a concert by Eric Himan. Eric and Andy Moore played an awesome show at the Old Playhouse aka Betsy Bowen Studio. This “Eric Fragment” is from a painting I did from his show. The initial dream fragments were full size paintings that, for one reason or another, didn’t work for me, so I cut them up. This one illustrates that process quite well, I think. When I ran out of rejected paintings, I started painting sheets of watercolor paper specifically to cut up. At first I thought that seemed a bit contrived, then I realized that every painting is contrived. Hmmm. So there you have it.
If you haven’t heard Eric’s music, please do. His first, Self-titled and now sold out and retired CD, is available on iTunes. I Go On, All For Show, Dark Horse and One Night Stands: Eric Himan live are all available, and are well worth purchasing!
Eric’s song “No Urgency” was featured on LOVE ROCKS, a double CD compilation put out by the Human Rights Campaign. Great music to benefit a great cause. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
