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.

Door Metaphor


What is the meaning of a door? It is a solid moving wall, in most cases, that keeps weather, bugs and even people out. But it also lets those things in, if you let it. It can symbolize hope and opportunity. But my favorite is MYSTERY.

Nothing says “welcome” like a well designed and maintained storefront. There are endless styles and the personality of the owner shine through in how they have it decorated...
