This painting is 36 x 20. It's a larger version of a painting I did for the 3rd residency. One I felt didn't get the attention it deserved. It's slow and tedious, but Tony Apesos said, "wow, you still don't know how to paint a field do you," so I'd like another crack at a crit with him...
I am starting 3 large paintings I intend to be my thesis show. They will be 3 large bamboo paintings with clouds. 30 x 40. That should fill up my allotted space for the thesis show. Also, working on my rough draft for the thesis. I ok'd working with previous mentor David Feinberg for another go round this fall. This seems slightly audacious (starting the work and the thesis), but then again it appears to me that as far as art school goes, good crits and work favor the bold and the brash.
Attended the Lucy Lippard talk at the University of Minnesota last month. Attended the CAA conference in Chicago in February. Also, have been in touch with art historian and paranormal investigator Adrian Lee, Ph D. I am looking to curate a show of artwork about the paranormal in Minneapolis some time in 2011.
