Artifact

Trespass, oil on canvas, curio cabinet, 48 x 144 inches

I spent a day recently with my friend, photographer extraordinaire Walter Colley. He shot beautiful copy shots of some of my artifact work from last years show. It was great to have it out of storage and get my juices flowing in that direction again. It will have to wait awhile yet, as I have a gallery show and two festivals in May, and several festivals over the summer. But I'm perking on them again- it's primarily a mental game after all.

It's cold outside....

Fortunately it's warm in the studio, and about 20 paintings are underway. From large to small, I'm aiming/hoping to have most finished before the festival season gets underway. But like a conversation, it's hard to tell when it will be done before you reach the end.

Cold close up.

With the snowstorm of the season dropping down on us, this study takes me back to a late afternoon last summer.

Just in time for an end of year thaw, I put the last touches on a small piece, reflective of the first snow of this year.
