nesting



Just a snapshot of the finished piece.  This is a bit of a departure from what I've been doing with my paintings, but I decided not to force it into the usual familiar territory, and to just let it be.  Could be the start of a whole new year, good timing for January!  I'll have to wait and see where it takes me.

a days work

We had a snow day today, which turned into a rain day, which turned the snow to slush so I hid out in the studio under a pressing deadline while listening to the raindrops beat a constant rhythm on the skylights overhead...




24x24" 
so far acrylic and oil on panel

words


The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.
Lucian Freud

January thaw (not cooped up)


the thermometer reached 51 today
the back yard is an icy muddy slushy March-like mess
some of us enjoyed a break from cabin fever


have you met my girls?
