The Clarity of Upside-downness
After a one month painting hiatus filled with travel and then back-to-school busyness, it always feels good to get back into the studio albeit a little daunting. I was able to jump back in and finish “Guano Rock” — a painting that I had begun the day before my travels. And then I reworked “Cave, Hope.” But what next?
Yes, More Like This!
The only thing that I have figured out is that these five recent paintings feel more like what I am currently searching for. There is a certain energy that I am feeling in both the working process and result.
Just Get to the Next Aid Station
Just get to the next aid station. These are words that if you are involved with long distance running you might have heard before. (If you’re not a runner, stick with me, I promise to talk about painting.)
Rainforests, Waterfalls & Icebergs
Besides the idea of water in various forms, what do these three paintings have in common? Well I’m thinking if I hadn’t painted Tidefall and Iceberg first, Rainforest Beach would have been an entirely different painting.
