Painting in Progress: In the field (1.17.10)

In the field (work in progress), 1.17.10

This painting is morphing into something a little more sculpted with thicker paint. It used to be flatter and looked like this. I erased the old, busier background by trying to bring in brighter colors with more subtle changes in tone. I think I have the composition down now, but want to add some detail while building up more textured layers of paint.

Abstract Paintings at Urbanest

I'm currently showing some abstract paintings at Urbanest in Andersonville. 5228 North Clark St. in Chicago. They hung them nicely and look pretty good with their home furnishings. I'm also happy to announce that they've given me a permanent display wall to showcase my art.

montmarte (work in progress), latest update - 12.27.09

Making some more progress and adding depth to the background. Will be tackling the foreground and adding more detail to the people. Haven't spent a whole lot of time painting the last week or two since I've been focusing on re-organizing my studio space.
