This week found me visiting Oklahoma University. Went through the museum there on campus. Interesting collection with a lot more older European works than I would have imagined. This first one (above) is another one in my pond series. I'm not as excited to keep working on these for whatever reason, but to quote Tony Apesos, "If it's worth doing, it's worth over-doing!"
This is revisiting one of my mentor's projects. I had to redo most of this one and I will need to start another one soon.
Trying to do a dramatic one with the vertical format.
I am very excited about these last two. Playing with the space a lot. Deep space in the beach one on the bottom, abrupt cut-off space in the first. Alien objects will be coming soon. These successfully capture my mentor's idea of all my works: Graceful, Sparse, unusual, timing. We agreed these were the 4 items I needed to incorporate to pull off a successful painting. Also working on my second paper, a study of the works of Doig, Gornik, and Dawson.

The storm one has been such a cool evolution! It's really funky -- I love that it takes a minute to ground yourself in the perspective...there could be a few different perspectives to take, but then when you figure out its a storm it's very ominous & cool!
