the new year

Greetings to everyone in 2008. I am starting up this blog here so everyone who asks me how my painting is going can get a peek for themselves. I am still figuring out this thing, so please bear with me. Here is the studio, with a finished piece. I am wrapping up a show which will be opening this february. It was a bit close there for a while, and I thought I might not finish, but things seem to be coming to a conclusion just in time. Here is a closer look at a finished piece, a larger one, 5 by 8 feet. It's a bad photo, but you get the idea.




This one is entitled "Traveling from wind to light". I pirate my titles from whatever book I happen to be fond of that year. My titles this year are taken from Jen Currin's book of poems, "The sleep of four cities". I only have three more paintings to complete by next month, the gods willing, and that will make it an even twelve. Stay tuned for more updates.
