Steven LaRose, Narrow Conclusions, 2010Oil on acrylic on wood, 5.75 x 7.375 inches
The painting above is my truest self. It is not as easy as it sounds.
I did a little day job this weekend. At one time I had given some walls a "treatment," and recently the clients added a fireplace nook and flat screen thingy.

My job was to blend them together. The picture above shows the raw plaster that some dude left me with, my base coat, and the final glaze. The picture also shows this radical painting that I couldn't wrap my mind around. 
The past ten years, I've witnessed the creepy infestation of the flat screen over the fireplace. Clients tried to hide it once:

Catching up on your entries! Speaking of the tv being the new fireplace-- there's this Canadian thing on local tv stations that for the whole month of December, one channel plays only a video of a burning fireplace. I was having Christmas dinner with some people and after dinner they said, "Let's go sit in front of the fire awhile." Well, they didn't have a fireplace- instead a 52' flat screen. And that is where we sat.
