Flinders paints, and he paints, and he paints 23 pieces in sum. He used acrylic paints, some on wood panel and some on canvas. Flinders said that his vigorous painting style stretches out the canvas, so he prefers to work on wood panel. At the artist talk, Flinders mentioned the painting above because he lost his initial intentions. He said the girl in the painting went out of his control.

Paul Flinders, Wathena, senior painting major, is in his final hour of painting at the DotDotDot Artspace, 1910 Haskell, on Saturday evening. Flinders began what he called "a twenty-four hour painting odyssey" where he painted for 24 straight hours. He began painting in the gallery at 6pm on Friday and following the 24 hour session, held an opening reception that included all of the work he had created. The follownig Tuesday, he held an artist talk at 6 pm at the gallery. Flinders said, "It was a way to fuse the inner and outer worlds, allowing others to share in the creative process." There were people drinking beer and coffee, creating art on the gallery windows, questioning and critiquing the artist, and just plain staring at the making. Anyone was welcome to partake in the fun at anytime for however much time their schedules allowed.
