A PAINTING A DAY

A PAINTING A DAY arose out of the observation that human creativity can take the path of least resistance at times. And given the choice between painting and not painting, the later often wins. A PAINTING A DAY is the pursuit of "trying" to create a piece of art every day. These are done usually with thick paint and a pallet knife....if one every interests you, shoot me an email at matt@hirsheimer.com and I will be glad to ship it to you for $100 ($150 framed), no questions asked.

After a trip to Las Vegas after the movie release of Hangover, you just can not see that town in the same light ever again. It's an insane town where the Hangover story line is lived out nightly by thousands of tourist - 24/7/365. It inspired me to paint the one character that had no speaking part, but was easily the best supporting actor ...Carlos. He was the one sane character in the movie who was juxtaposed against the antics of the city and it's party life style that inspired the movie.
I cannot believe that no scenes in the movie were shot in the Hofbrauhaus Beer Hall. An institute that has fostered many-a-hangover, I am sure.

Yes you could argue that the tiger and the chicken had no speaking part, too.

So, after many months hiatus, it is time to add some paintings a day. The Boston Beanery is a favorite location of a Friend of mine who just got married in Morgantown WV. The wedding party stopped by this location on their way to the wedding reception. Thought this would make a nice little wall hanging for them to hang in their newlywed palace.
I am told that this is THE PLACE for BBQ chicken wings and that they are addictive. The newly weds now live very, very far from Morgantown and may have to check into a wing-rehab clinic unless the Beanery starts bottling their sauce.

A friend of mine has season seats for the New York Giants. He and his family have gone to many games over the years and next year they will go in the new stadium. This Art/Photo/Ticket will stand as a memory of all the great times they had in the old stadium.

Katie

If you have never had a dog, you may never understand how much a part of you and your family they become. They are a shadow that is with you from the day they arrive to the day they leave. And when they leave, there is no feeling more sad.

The dog is capable of loving an honoring you unconditionally for it's entire life, and that is rarely accomplished amongst us human's.

Mark Twain said, "Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." I would only add that based on how dogs behave on earth, they do go in.

Katie is a friend's dog who passed away recently but will never be forgot.

Lone Palm




Palms are really not alone, in fact they come from among 2500 species. Historically, palm trees have been important performing ornamental functions in homes and gardens and parts were eaten as food. They symbolized both victory and peace. In modern times Palms have become the representative of leisure times and tropical climates.
Nothing says vacation like the dark green fan shaped leaves against a blue tropical
