About Me:
 
I am truly passionate about music, art and dancing. I started painting with nail polish in 1991. It's a versatile and unique medium. In 18 years, I've found that the colours stay true. I usually use 40 layers of lacquer. As the layers build up, the canvas becomes saturated with paint, almost like a liquid gel. The finished paintings are luminescent and resemble stained glass. Others are intricately carved or bas relief. Now, I'm starting to do acetone washes that look just like conventional watercolours. Each piece takes about a year to finish. They're meant to be touched, and you can soak them in Woolite if they get dirty (the finished canvas reminds me of translucent linoleum). I've never met another artist who uses nail polish, so my techniques are my own. I sell some paintings and limited edition cards online. Almost all of my paintings are inspired by music or dance. Some of my favourites are in debcoart's Mixed Media Workshop in the Ning Gallery. Here's the slideshow link (or you can look in the blog on My Space, if this link breaks): http://debcompany.ning.com/... Most of my stuff is on My Space; which serves as my 'workshop' channel:

I lost access to my first channel in May 2009. It's caught in mid-edit, but there are some good things to be said for it: "http://www.myspace.com/user/l adylionesse"

My Ltd. Ed. Cards:
I co-own and manage Whiskey Chute Galleries (WCG), my father's old online store. (I have no idea where he got the name.) Each edition consists of 144 signed and numbered cards. Click on my website URL to buy them online.

One more thing: I love the blues, and about 2 years ago, I ran across Luke Edney. He plays a mean guitar, and oh boy, can he sing! He's also a prodigious songwriter and producer. (See the 'Favourite Music' section below for more information.) His songs are on my channel and my 'Luke Edney' playlist. As his music has inspired a lot of my work, it's only fair to spread the word about his new music channel on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/user...

Music:
LUKE EDNEY - singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer. You can watch his videos here on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/user/edaz92 Or listen to his original songs on My Space: http://www.myspace.com/user/vintagesunflower here's th link to his original music channel, on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/user/LukeEdneyMusic His songs run from blues to full-tilt rock n roll ('She' and 'Don't Look Back') to chill ('I Don't Blame You'). his 1st single, "My Work Here Is Done' was produced by David Parker and features Mr. James Gallagher on drums.. 'Time's Not On Your Side' is one you wouldn't expect a 17-year old to write, with its profound lyrics. Mr. Edney is now 17, studying contemporary music in college. He's already declined an offer from one label, and produces his own music very well.. You can buy his songs on My Space, or download them FREE. If you haven't heard him yet, I know you'll want to soon. I've often said that he must be the twin-soul reincarnation of Robert Johnson and Jimi Hendrix, but his style is his own. He can sing like I-don't-know-what - The first time I heard him, about a year and a half ago, he knocked me right out, and he's been #1 on my private playlist ever since. Check out both of his covers of Mr. Johnson's 'Come On In My Kitchen'. There are also 2 videos worth listening to, recorded live at The Crown. If you love the blues, I think you'll forgive the abysmal sound quality. He released his own acoustic version of Crossroads on 20 Dec 2009. Check it out! I he can play slide, acoustic or electric too, so don't think he can't!
Books:
Mostly the classics (anything by Hemingway, Tolstoy, Anthony Trollope, Tuman Capote, etc., plus James Clavell (esp. Shogun)... Lots of poetry. Mythology, biographies, history, botany (horticulture) and fairy tales... I can see well enough some days to read large print. I think I'll always be reading something as long as I can (I'm going blind from uveitis).
