the end of the canvas studies
April 15, 2012
In future, all of my preparatory studies will be on paper rather than canvas. You can see the handful of remaining canvas studies here.

Breadth of experience
March 29, 2012
I’ve been painting very full work lately. Layers and layers. Vivid colors, complicated compositions, lines swooping, patches of color echoing across the canvas, patterns playing out and morphing, full, full, full.
Until.
Until I take a breath and paint from stillness in the middle of the night, down so deep in myself that it seems my hand is moving with all the speed of a glacier, and that is the right speed for what I have to say, because there is so much carried on the brush on the way to canvas.
And I can breathe again. I am here.
