A couple new pieces…
And some work that is still in progress…
I’m curious if it’s interesting to anyone to see work that is in progress. Should I continue to show unfinished work here or wait until I’m finished with it. Please let me know in the comment section. Thanks.

First off, I’m so sorry it’s been so long since I posted…I’ve been plagued with computer issues. The end result being me finally taking the computer into the shop for repair, where my computer expert ended up doing a “destructive recovery of my hard drive”, fun! Basically he wiped my hard drive, so I’ve been busy reinstalling all my software, etc. Just a reminder to everyone to do backups of your data. Luckily I did have a fairly recent backup (Phew!).
So the following are some of the things I’ve been working on in the studio lately.
I’m very surprised by it, but I seem to have entered into a soft / gestural phase….
This painting I’ve been working on for weeks. I keep telling myself I have to make some more marks on it so it can go somewhere, but after I paint anything, or glue anything down. I decide I hate it and paint over what I just did. Am I really doing a White Painting?! I think I just have to put it in the storage room for awhile and and start something new.
And the return of color!

For the past several days I have been wanting to do some photography of the work completed this fall, but the weather is just not cooperating. So here are updates of the the pieces I have been working on, with my bad studio photography ( they will look so much better once I can go outside to shoot).

Updated versions of my new pieces.

I started some new pieces the other day…I love beginning a new work, it really is my favorite thing. I just go wild splashing paint all over the place. So fun.
No title on this as yet. It is another one of my pieced paper works. I’m also loving the ugly brown and yellow color combination.
My other new piece isn’t so new. I guess it’s really the second life of work I did this summer.
First I apologize for the photo. It is quite large and I couldn’t get the whole painting in without also getting a bit of my painting table on the left, and uneven light from the window as well. So at the moment I’m working these two canvases in a similar fashion to my pieced paper works, the uneven sizes and obvious “seam”. These are two paintings completed this summer that I never really fell in love with, was a bit disappointed in, so I gessoed over them and am starting fresh. Below are the original paintings.
