Bird Bath B-day Gift

Bear with me, I need to try something

I had a moment where this was on my computer screen, and I briefly thought I was looking into a painting of mine. I just wanted to see it next to my header painting. Go back to whatever you were doing.

The "Lane Markers" are moving forward. I'm itching to work on them again.

Summer Daze

I have no hierarchical order or focus. Rubbing the cat's belly seems as important as anything else, or impulsively driving to Trader Joe's, just as a huge thunderstorm comes in...I was out of raw almonds.

Old & New group show

Texan Love Hovels, 18" x 30" oil on wood, 2004

I'll be represented "old" in the upcoming Old & New group show, at Harrison Gallery in Indianapolis. I'll have three paintings total in the show, which is curated by Sofie Kofodimos.

I have several paintings from 2004-2007 which have never been exhibited, and it was great to pull them out and re-examine them from a fresh perspective. Many of them hit on some great thematic ideas, and I'm planning on reworking them. While I once insisted on letting everything happen simultaneously within the process, subject and form formulating together and fairly intuitively, I've been having some good results when I go ahead and rework the paintings. It feels like a developmental thing, where I'm just less rigid about the process, and also can muddle more without totally destroying existing imagery.

Anyway, if you're in town, the show's Friday, July 2, 6-9 pm. I'll post the other two paintings after the opening.
