Jim Carrey Finds A Passion For Painting

He explains, "I have a painting I'm doing right now in New York and I have about five more days after spending 200 hours on it. It's 16 feet tall and 12 feet wide; it's a black light painting. In the daylight it's a normal painting but when you turn the black lights on, it really lights up and people come out of the dark and it's kind of interesting."

And one of his pieces can be seen in his new film Mr. Popper's Penguins: "It's in my TV den."

Carrey reveals the art he has "leaked out" so far has been favourably critiqued - and it has taken over his life away from the film set.

He adds, "It's conceptual and impressionistic. When I'm not acting I wake up every morning and I have my coffee and I pick up a paintbrush. I have a studio in New York."

So cool We knew he loved to paint but it's cool that he's going public with it more and is really absorbed in it. So awesome.
