The truth of the matter (I & II). 2009. 14" x 18". Watercolor, acrylic, luminous paint on Paper.

infinite?

maybe. these are new works for a series I am tentatively labeling "infinity". it's broad in scope, as you might imagine, ranging from rainbows to stars, skulls to volcanoes, color wheel vanishing points to grids. in scale, the paintings will range from 42" x 66" to 2" x 4". I working towards finishing this new series by the end of fall. Should be about 25 paintings in all.

The dust is settling.















How I Felt After You.

Almost finished with this new large scale painting...45" x 65", oil on linen.
Few more glazes to unify the surface and it should be complete.

VERMONT STUDIO CENTER (FEB. 1 - FEB 27)













**

You know you are at an artist residency
when you hear this kind of dinner discussion.

" I cut words out of books ... "


"abstract paintings using landscape means"

" cutting circles out of fabric"


" ..I draw lines"

"a life size paper doll cutout"

" bird collages from national geographic cut outs"

and so on.
