Weeks 9 & 10


These two are as done as they are going to get before visiting NY mentor April Gornik next week. Layers, layers, and more layers. I need to let them dry, ship them, etc. for a meeting with April on 9/21.


I don' t know about the colors, but this is as far as I can push it before this gets shipped.



On to new stuff, well, newer. I did this image last semester. It was 8 x 6 inches. At the urging of both April and last semester's advisor Oscar Palacio, I am doing this one again but bigger. It's 24 x 20 or so.


This is the start of my last bird flocking painting. Wanted to try one more. It's large and I wanted it all grey. Which leads into my last one below.


This originally started as the under painting for a bamboo forest, but I'm very excited about it. I'm also researching Gerhard Richter. The grey and the fuzzy made me think I was channeling Richter so I'm going to go back into this and make it more like one of his.

i really like this last fuzzy one, might be on to something with following your gut and not painting into the under painting, that that could be the work.
