Week 13




I finished up those 3 bird flocking paintings this week. I feel very good about them. (Can't usually say that!) I think they follow David Feinberg's formula we worked out together. Unusual/Graceful/Timing/Deep Space. These are the 4 things when they are in good balance work well in my paintings. I like that they're definitely a series, but there are each their own painting and not a production line like a lot of the New Yorkers. I also was able to work in that flying saucer shape in a palatable way.


This small one was on the smaller 8 x 6 format of the UFO paintings, but it's not quite the same. It's a dust devil behind a strip mall. Still in progress.


This one is inspired by Minnesota Point and also the show LOST. It's to be finished next week.

Being a big tornado fan, I *love* the dust devil!

The bird patterns are interesting. I would like to see them in person. I was thinking of these paintings the other day when I saw the turkey vultures at my parents lake house. Remind me to show you the pics.
