Despite sharing a festive quantity of beer at Saturday’s Elephant Island and Roger Dean Young show in snowy Vancouver, I seem to have come home with a fine new painting. Lucky me! I haven’t done much drunken art buying, but I haven’t had any mishaps yet. Knock wood, right?
Daniel Brodie seems to paint a variety of shapely people, animals and occasional oddments. The red horse face I picked up has some great scratchy texture similar to the gold scrapes on the birds pictured above, and the same silhouette as… a flaccid gentleman, let’s say.
(Anyone who has visited my vagina website or seen my fridge magnets knows about my love for genitals posed without glamour, so I think the droopy horse will fit right in.)
So how did I go out to see live music and come home with fresh art? Dan’s paintings were hanging on the curtain at the back of the stage, which I think has something to do with his being the brother of longtime Aloha House pal Shaun Brodie, who plays trumpet and accordion with Roger Dean Young and The Tin Cup.
