OK. This one is done. "Our Lord's Candle" is the real name of a giant flowering plant in the desert. Instead of doing more work for this semester residency I have started working ahead for next semester. I have a very strong feeling about that cloud in bamboo painting from this past semester... April Gornik loved it, and it just got chosen for the Boston Young Contemporaries so I feel strong about working ahead on my thesis stuff.
There will be 3 large bamboo paintings, 30 x 40 inches each. With the amount of detail that goes into each one, I think it's a good idea to get a jump on this. This one shows some reference photos in the upper right corner. I did those last fall. I literally had my brother walking around the woods with a smoke bomb while I photographed him.
