The paintings for my show at ArtSpace in Feb. are completed. So now I’m back in exploration mode for my show at the Durham Art Guild in April. I want that show to be completely different. I’m really happy with this painting! I plan on pushing in this direction to see where it will lead me. I love painting larger canvases!

A battle-worn soldier

This is the brush that I’ve used for most of this entire series of new paintings. It has been in use off and on for over 9 years. This image was taken a few months ago so the brush is even a little more worse for wear. I’ve started breaking in some new brushes but this one will always have a special place in my heart. It’s only a mater of a few short weeks before I’ll have to send it off to brush heaven. For the technique I’ve been using for this series the crappier the brush the better.

Can you spot the drunk monkey riding a unicorn?

Another experiment

Island in the Scream

This is another experimental piece I did several months ago and forgot to post. It will be 44×44 in. when stretched. It is currently rolled up in the corner for now. I think I’m really happy with it but only time will tell.
