Here is my latest oil painting called “Psychedelic Self-Portrait”. This is a self-portrait based on a 60’s/70’s psychedelic album cover because that is the music I listen to and it a good snapshot into my general thought process. And to complete the psychedelic self-portrait musical adventure, I have created a 2 disc album of my favorite Psychedelic/Progressive songs. See the track list and link to a video clip of each song below!

Just a quick note to let you know that I finally finished my sci-fi epic oil painting called ‘Space-Time-Infinity’. I have been working on this painting for a LONG time with numerous changes but now it’s done. The actual size is 48” x 60” or 20 square feet, or 2,880 square inches of oil paint!

Someday I will write up a detailed explanation of this painting but for now take a look and make up your own mind. Please keep in mind that when compressing 48x60 into 6x8 some detail will be lost, LOL.

Please go to www.joebartz.com to see a very large image of this painting and to find out what I am working on next!
