"Best Of The Best" Gala at Triton Museum of Art

I recently participated at the Mission College's "Best Of The Best" Gala.  The art department asked me if I would be willing to donate any of my art to be auctioned off for their fundraiser.  I gave them my first completed painting, titled Oedipus Redux (acrylic on canvas, 40 x 60).  The idea was to portray a tormented individual, who is constantly fighting his way out of a corner of his own,  subconscious creation.  Never fully excepting his past, dealing with it or moving on.  In other words, a very happy piece.

I also joined the  "live artist" demonstrations.  Knowing people would be asking me question while I was panting, I decided to do an abstract piece.  I thought creating anything too detailed would require both time and concentration, which I wouldn't have.  It was completed in 3 hour time we were given, and titled A Happy Ending.  At the end of the night, both paintings found happy owners.
