In Progress

New piece in progress! Left, "Prime", oil on canvas, 36" x 30", 2013. Right, "Terce", after two painting sessions.

Palette

Controlled chaos... my palette and work table after today's painting session.

New Work

There is something so satisfying about taking the tape off of paintings once they are finished. ( I should say, once I stop working on them. Paintings are never 'finished.') I plan to return to this mirror idea in a few paintings, but for now, I have big plans for that pile of stretcher bars.

From left to right: "Reflect", 2013, oil on canvas, 30" x 30; "Vertigo", 2013, oil on canvas, 30" x 30"

studio view

Here's what my studio looks like today, with a sneak peak at a few new / in progress pieces. It's been a very productive couple weeks! Stay tuned for more finished work soon.

Studies

I played around with a couple small gouache sketches this week. These are studies for my next oil painting.
