Slow and Steady


Well here is where my latest painting is currently. I have 5 paintings that I have going at once, which is a nice way to paint, but it feels like you aren't making any progress. The photo doesn't show it well, but there is some amazing gold paint on the piece. I just discovered a brand of gold aerosol paint, that is super shiny. Bling Bling, now if I could just get my bedazzler to work on the canvas, I'd be set. Sorry about the pour image quality, I blame it on my Droid.

Forge on


This is a pic of a under painting that I just started a few days ago. I have been working on paintings that have vast skies with deserted landscapes. I have been enjoying working on the series, but thought it would be fun too work on something a bit more spontaneous. The jet will be covered by layers of large text and imagery. The piece is 72"X36" . I use the word "forge", a lot in my work. I am interested in words and fonts. I think the word is a bit ambiguous without context. Often I think of it in the sense of, pushing on, or moving forward in ones life.
