still working

It's been a busy week. I have been super busy at the office so I haven't gotten much time in at the studio. I've finished another painting and started on one last one. I still need to leave time to varnish and clean up before next weekend.

more painting updates

I have been mostly absorbed with painting and getting ready for open studios. Since it's only a few weeks away, I'm happy to say that I have 4 pieces finished, one halfway there, and another still in the starting blocks. I'm feeling good about having some smaller (and cheaper) work to show. I'm still enjoying my San Francisco Close Up series. To see the work I did for last Spring, you'll have to go to my website. Here are some sneak peeks that I will post to the website next weekend or so. First up is the completed Askew painting. 127 lightbulbs in that A, I'll have you know. Next to it is the just started, yet almost done A Grey day, still missing some lightbulb detailing.

Under that are two smaller clock detail paintings. First is Almost Eleven and next is Half Past Six. The two clocks are my first completed acrylic paintings.

Fall 2008 Update

Well I'm happy to report that I've been painting, since I haven't been here updating the blog. I'm still painting things I see around San Francisco too. Things that are new are some new work in acrylic on wood panel and stretching watercolor paper over wood stretcher bars. The latest work is a little smaller in size but it seems bigger without the glass to hide behind. You can't tell by the photos, so you'll really need to come by and see it for yourself. Everyone is worried about the market. While I can't speak for everyone, it does seem like I've been painting more.
