On President’s Day, I fell right into an Oprah episode.  When my Tivo was working, I fell into Oprah when I decided the time was right (is this sounding like a Viagra commericial?).  Anyway, she did an entire show on the new Dr. Seuss movie that is coming out starring Jim Carey, Carol Burnett and Steve Corell. 

Jim Carey really is a magical person. He is spiritual, centered, and has AMAZING energy.  He had that audience in the palm of his hand. 

What does this have to do with art and painting?  Well, when he was alone with Oprah on stage, the discussion segwayed over to how he loves to paint.  And, he said “I just set up my stuff in the middle of my living room - and get up and paint whenever I feel like it.”  Just like me!  I have a studio/great room.  So, I love Jim Carey for that (and other zen and cool things).  By the way, it is interesting…my two fish really have an affinity for him.  They bang around in their bowls whenever he is around!

My good friend Jaffer has created an incredible video entertainment network:  http://www.evtv1.com/.  I remember the day 3 years ago when he called me to let me know his vision for this network. Now, millions go to his site daily! 

We brainstorm quite a bit and one day we were discussing my paintings and came up with the idea of creating a video of them to music.  It ran of his video network and was subsequently picked up by Google, AOL, MSN and a variety of other video services. Gosh, that reminds me, I’ll need to search YouTube to see if I’m there.

In the meantime, here’s a link to enjoy my fire paintings to music:

And, of course, thank you Jaffer for doing this!
