This one is a bit back to my "regular" style, but I'm doing a few things. My mentors comments were that the horizontal pieces were stronger than the vertical ones. He wanted me to play with canvas sizes a bit. He also said the "weird detail" that shows up in my work happens at 25 ft. This one will work with both of those ideas.
This is the second project from my mentor. Started the first one last week. There are pieces of photograph in the center and the upper right of this one. Playing with starting the painting around those two photos.
This is # 6 in my "pond" series. These are slow, but there's a lot of wet on wet. They are a bit more abstract/real. And almost no horizon lines. They will make more sense when they are all together on the wall at AIB. 
Seagull is coming along. Just letting this one happen. I'm not thinking about anything anyone has said or recommended. It's an elegy for my grandpa so it just needs to happen. Might not bring to AIB in June.
Back to these small UFO paintings. Wasn't sure what to do with them. Really liked the Elizabeth Peyton show at the Walker. She has re-inspired this series. I want them small, slick, populist subject, shiny. Sort of a guilty pleasure.
