Mellow Magic(2009)

The viewer is whisked through a lovely cat-house, which also includes a turtle along with the whiskered pets, and then is suddenly immersed in the painted output of my old (yet still young and vibrant looking) friend, Michelle Joyce. We follow this cheerful personage on a tour of her studio and then get transported to a high-class arts center in midtown Frisco where the work is displayed to a variety of yapping youth in yo-yo mode. The artist's positive outlook, in contrast to my up and down yo-yo swings, makes for a saucy finale of simmering meatballs in this rosy colored stew of our own making.
