Almost there.

I'm delivering work on Friday to the Moudy Gallery in the TCU Art Building. Here are a few that are (almost) done.

>>>Fast Forward

Since early Summer in Chicago my world has shifted a lot. Long due update, but after a June and July of moving to Fort Worth, Texas to begin my new tenure track position at Texas Christian University the dust has settled (and flow back up) a bit. Teaching full time, Painting, Drawing and a Senior Art Exhibitions class is fantastic. It can be long days but I'm thankfully getting lots of studio time as well. A necessity for my sanity but also because I have a solo exhibition at TCU (an introduction of sorts) in October (14th-31st) and also another show coming up at University of Wisconsin in early December (which I'm hoping to incorporate a screen print and 3-d printing, flexing my new found TCU facilities a little). Packets for tenure track, arrangements for CAA in Chicago, Spring Schedules, lots of great events / visiting artists at the Museums here in Fort Worth (Modern, Kimball and Amon Carter), summer grants and lots of teaching loom. But busy is good. Here are a couple of paintings that will be in my October show, working title "Volumes,Voids and Vectors".

all the energies

this is a painting that is nearing completion, sometimes its good to go back to the source of the painting, in this case he heat map of the cosmos was imprinted on the sky when the universe was just 380,000 years old.

painting

Been working on this canvas for sometime, off and on for over six months. More accelerated process and progress in the last two months. It's finally building up into something but in the end I'm sure it'll look completely different than this:
