Idle hands and all

"It is in your self interest to find a way to be very tender"... My Jenny Holzer inspired tapestry for my brother. All this petit point takes forever. 4 months = 1/3rd complete.

Today's project: swamp thing

Stages from hideous to decent to boring to decent to incomplete until next session.

Swamp Thing 16x16

Recently completed

Everything is completed until it's no longer completed. Which is basically the more I stare at it the less completed a painting becomes. Did Ingres feel this way about Odalisque? Her body is so oddly long after all, surely he noticed this himself.

The blue is a commission yet to be named 36x48
The orange is "grey fire morning" 24x24
The white + copper is "Soledad" 48x48

A whole new way...

Trying out a new toy to show off a newish technique. No more polymer finish, now it's a glossy acrylic. Less fume-y, more indoors friendly. This painting therefor is named "a whole new way" 24"x24"
