Brett Stokes - The last picture show
















As a fan of cinema, shouldn't this be entirely black and white?

My friend Brett, a thirty year brother and confidante, is celebrating his eventual removal from Elder St. with the "last" exhibition of his paintings. I have made several enquiries as to what he means by last, does he have some inside info on an errant meteor strike that will squash mankind like a bug and leave the planet as a dank parking lot only fit to be inhabited by radioactive arachnids and seventh day adventists?

Will he forsake painting altogether and run for political office, perhaps giving that D.A. witch Bonnie Dumanis a run for her money?

I think it is far to late in his life's journey to seek gainful employment, since everyone knows that the artists get all the girls - perhaps his own coffee shop? No-o-o... A psychologist might have a field day for his choice of subject matter for his painterly adieu, a cold bleak landscape, perhaps signaling the fear he is feeling towards the act of breaking down the old wigwam.

One of my favorite paintings in my collection is a canvas by Brett, I will post a picture soon.

Anyhow, I hope that you will come and support my friend, Fallbrook's caffeinated conscience and come to the last round up and wish him well. See you there.

A bit late for a comment but oh well . . . Brett is a fantastic artist, who I met Indian to Indian. Brett helped me to embrace my Indian-ness and has touched the souls of both my wife and I with his paintings.
