detail of piece
if you're a friend and/or happen to follow my work, a new painting will be on the artist site soon. since i've started on this new piece, i've felt so-so about it. however, the process has been extremely fulfilling. i haven't sat and painted like this in a long time - taking my time, pensively thinking and truly looking a lot. paying attention to wetness/dryness. screwing up, re-working, and screwing up again. it's very humbling, and that's good.
aside from the care i'm giving this time around, it's still very loose, like the pushing around of a thin monotype / litho ink. i guess my love of JMW Turner still shines through, even after 10 years of this subject matter and style of mine. ah well. i love the guy.
hopefully i'll be "finished-ly" happy with this in a week or so.
tim emailed a bunch of work from his 3rd year of grad school up at the university of minnesota. if i get his okay, i'll post some pics of a large installation he did in the grad crit space. he's unsure about it; i think it's really progressed a lot since his undergrad days (and even back then his work was interesting).

It looks fantastic, brother. And thebest part is... it matches the pieces I already own...
thanks, chad. i'm mostly feeling good about it. the color in the photos is awful - i won't set up the proper studio photography lights until it's finished.
while other pieces might still go to chicago, B-N, and a couple places in canada, this type of work will be staying local a lot more now. you'll be able to see it in person sometime.
...maybe even smashed over your head - OH SNAP!
