color study for "dancing the moon over the witch house". Color studies, for me, are necessary to determine if, and how,the painting will work.

This was my first album (now out of print) in 2004 on Psychic Hamster Records. It was called Practical Hypnotism and had ten original songs and one cover song. All the songs were written and performed on ukulele.

Painting in traditional egg tempera. Traditional egg tempera paint (at least how I use it) is achieved by mixing dry pigment with raw egg yolk and thinning with water. It dries fast and slightly translucent and works best using a small brush. I use claybord as a support.
