For those of you who don't know, my painting process is a slow one. It takes me about a year to produce a full show. I work on many paintings simultaneously, letting one layer dry while i work on another. They can often have innumerable layers, bearing absolutely no resemblance to what they started as. It is a bit of a mystery, and not the most effective process, but it seems to work for me. These vary in size, which i will note later, and i will come up with a system of numbering them so you can see them develop. My computer keeps crashing on me, so i have to work quickly before it does so again.
These following pieces are all in their first or second layer. There are about 18 new canvases that i have prepared. Not all of them will become a complete painting. I have no idea what i am doing with any of them. Basically, i just start painting with colors that strike me at the time, and see where it leads.
We will see where it goes from here. Stay tuned.

Whoa....that is the exact opposite of the way I work. I plan out each painting in a sketch. If I need to make a change, I make more sketches before I commit anything on the actual work.
