Two Weeks of Work

Tried working "outside" in the garage this weekend. It was too nice to be in the basement studio. 

Coffee

Here is the next piece in a series of 'daily video' explorations. The process is more time consuming that I had hoped, but the results seem worth it. I am not sure that I will be able to maintain the pace. 

These started out as an appropriation of imagery combining color elements into a gray environment, but with the content it seems to be a bit of a look at antiquated gender roles. The advertising seems absurd by today's standards. Other than that. I have three panels going with some paint . . . I'll attempt to get some pics posted eventually. 

Weekend Work

This portrait had become lost toward the end of last week, it is beginning to materialize again.  

Working with the figures in this composition has been enjoyable. The foreshortening in the larger seated figure is not correct yet.

Long Time No Post

Things got busy with transporting work for a show as well as a crit on campus last week. With that being the case time in the studio was a little less than normal, below are shots of the images that were worked with over the past week+.

 Oil paint was used to begin to tighten in some detail on portions of the green lamp piece. I think the contrast of some more in focus detail may be a needed balance to some of panels that are mark making focused.

Spent a majority of time working with this piece. The last photo here really shows how the image got away from me, but the opportunity to salvage it should make the image more interesting than where it was going earlier in the week.  

There was a good deal of paint left over on a palette and rather than saving it, the paint was dumped onto these panels along with some of the water from the cleaning bucket. Panels and palette were stacked on top of each other to dry, hopefully they will stick together and when pulled apart something interesting will happen.
