    funny I have been rusting things on top of wax and paper lately isn’t that weird how sometimes things happen all at once. Love these pieces with the rust. The painted colours go so well with your rusty bits. I love all things decayed.

    Ooooo la la. Love where you’re going Gary. Just be careful you don’t puncture yourself with any of that rusty stuff. When was the last time you had a Tetanus shot? I shouldn’t talk. I haven’t had one in ten years. I hate needles. Anyway, I love this mixture of metal and textured canvas. You always think of the coolest stuff.

    Incredible! A whole new level of art works by Gary Reef. If you stop this video every 3 seconds there’s a new piece of art within the art cropping made with camera. Your gallery would probably love a 36 inch x 40 inch of this series. Just beautiful and amazing as always. Say, how many video crew people are on the set?!!! Gary, your video production quality is also a work of art. Thanks for another fabulous five minutes and one million inspiring thoughts. Bravo!
