Painted Furniture - SouthWest Style - by BH

reply to post by Benevolent Heretic


I love the way the "ether" swirls around the flute player. Very well captured. I wonder if that was deliberate on your part or were you "tuned in" sufficiently that the ether guided you?

By ether I mean that energy that permeates all things and is a medium by which world-wide communication might be possible. Esoteric, I know, but I believe in it. In your picture the patches of colour seem to dance around the flute player like waves of energy.

I don't know if I was guided by the ether, but I didn't really have a plan when I picked up the brush. I painted the back orange and then picked up a large, soft brush and started dipping it in several colors and water and punching it all around. I wanted the feel of movement as I always think of Kokopelli dancing as he plays.

Don't try so hard.

That's nice work BH!
We were in Moab, Utah a few years ago, and saw some furniture with similar themes.
They were asking some pretty rich prices for it. Maybe you really could find a market for your work?

As promised BH, some of my art...

26 Year-Old Prophecy Verified

Thanks a lot BH. Now I got a project. The wife saw your work (which we both agree was cool/nice) and liked your idea.

We have a piece similar to that-her grandfather made. She is debating painting it now. But, I have to go get it out of the basement etc... an event I assure you.

Thanks for sharing your talent(s).

Thanks, anon. I have another table I'm going to do and will be posting it here. It's very old, and I'll need to sand it all down first. Looking forward to the project.

I love anything with a southwest theme. Very nice work.

Awesome work BH I really like the lizard, and especially the howling coyote.

You should make a few pieces and post them on eBay....you could make a nice return on your work. I would buy something like that if I saw it, maybe use it as a night stand.

Very cool
