SUB/division

Collage on wood panels, 48"x48" I am considering one of the following:

1: Render the entire composition in oil using the collage as an underpainting

2: Adding to the visual redundancy and confusion by adding in more painted liner elements

3: Adding another layer of suburban homes this time printed in red and then peeling back layers to, again, add to the visual redundancy etc.

This idea stemmed out of the google street view ideas I have been wrestling with for a while.

Also in the works is a long horizontal format book of the same subject matter.

metal panel

Just a detail that needs to dry, but the texture here was just to good to pass up. It has been a while since I have been able to move paint around . . . something.

progress . . .

A bit more collage material found its way onto this panel . . . not sure where it is headed, but I may have just ruined it. Something else to deal with visually. {The tangents are intentional.}

The drywall has been mudded in this small section of the studio. It has a coat of paint and could certainly use some touching up, but it is nice to be able to see what it might be one day when it is finished. Since painting this last week, classes have begun. So there most likely be little progress in the near future. It is nice to be using the space for more than band practice.

Another in the series. These will likely get worked over in the weeks to come. 

new series

This is a new series, just to produce some work in the studio. I am planning to use found objects, collage and minimal mark making. At this point I am thinking no more than three elements per piece. This piece changed photo was taken. "Good" has been crossed out and "Not" written over it.
