...Thinking back, all I wanted was a Fast Mover.


For dad, the only way back was through the chasm.


The only way back to our world, for him, 


...The enemy must have me tied down, he thinks


...I'd be rolling, revving down main street, all heads turning.


...Racing down main street in my Fast Mover. 

...I walk slowly, one step at a time, out of the valley.


...Me, I get my slow mover ready for the new day.

Watercolor and Ink on Paper with Metallic inks as well.


...Lukes is a hospital in Houston that cares for the Coselli team, surgeons with a specialty in Aneurysms, bubbles in arteries.


...The central image is the patient my dad a slow mover (see poem in tags)


...The surgeons hands frame the Steele on top his hands and the result effect all of us not gods but somehow god like 


...The one on the right is the arotic arch it's diaphonously beautiful in it's base rawness it feeds the rest of the image just as veins mop up the expensed oxygen 


...His breezy feet are to the left they are needed to keep him loose while working 


The whole image feeds / reflects itself being self contained echoing ancient illustrated manuscripts and updating them with wireless devices it total the image becomes ... 

...A statement of appreciation for the surgeons and the team at St.   Lukes who saved my dad&rsquo;s life and perform miracles on a daily basis.


...Here the Aortic arch is represented upside down feeding the images, giving life to the drawing.

...All the old chairs, maps, backboards and books are in tact safe in this little jewel case of a museum.


I work was all displayed on easels so as to not touch the walls.   The show was billed as 3 generations of Shooster Art to connect it to the historical societies mission.   Displayed was the art of Harry Shooster, my uncle (90) and my daughter Carly Shooster&rsquo;s art (14) plus all my latest works.


The show was a joy, a connection to a few old friends that have not seen in years, and most importantly a way to bring my work to the public which has always been a dream.


...Later that night we went dancing for the first time in so many years I cant wait to go again.


...Recent Show - Deerfield Beach Historical Society will be hosting an event coming September 25th (7:30 PM - 10:00 PM and the 26th (10 am - 4 pm)  2009 at the Old School house near Deerfield Beach City Hall. 


The school house is from 1920 complete with all the things that make it charming. ...  This room gave my work a "full voice" as it filled the whole space.

This is the type of painting you see on ancient stained glass.   Its a Grey and black line that is painted with lead paints and then fired into the glass.   Its a dangerous medium require careful handling of materials.   The results are a timeless.


Here you see Vigilance painted inside of a long column vase.


Here you see Pot Belly Stove Painted backwards into &ldquo;Tin&rdquo; Glass.   Their is only one side you can paint upon so you have to use a UV light to see which side the glass was made upon and then use the &ldquo;clean&rdquo; non-tin side to paint.   If you want a real treat go visit Cappy&rsquo;s Site at www.cappythompson.com  you will see that see was commissioned to do the Seattle Airport Glass wall.   Its a huge installation and done in the same style as these examples.

The plow is pulled by the endless procession of oxen reflected in the water of life.   The plow creates musical notation as the blade runs through the earth.   The Earth is full of music and colors.   A lock turns through time and numeral give way to older numerals.   A snake twists into a guitar.

Shoosty


Watercolor Pencil and Ink 14&rdquo; x 19&rdquo;


October 16th, 2008


This is a painting about guitar.   The neck is bent in cubist style making the instrument unplayable but this adds to the playfulness of the overall composition. 


Heat and Ice border the sides as Cassidy and her twinkle toes holds the guitar on her back. the notes become an upside down head and a series of fish become notes which become cherries.   Fire burns on the top o the guitar and buttons with flowers are flying while some are the tuners for the neck. 


Cassidy sits on an oriental rug.


Lots of metallic ink makes this image jump.

I painted this while looking in the mirror.   Later Carly did her own drawing t became part of the composition


Oil on masonite board and gesso.  12&rdquo; x 12&rdquo; 


Painted with small squares as the impressionistic mechanism the work has a distinctly alaskan indian kind of way about it.   Being that the surface is treated as a decorative panel like a totem pole.   While working on this my baby Carly was intrigued and I ended up drawing her into the background.    Later when not looking she added some elements of her imagination that I decided to keep.
