Another Damn Day at the Office

it had to be done eventually...i let the landscape take over the interior. what do you think?

Another Damn Day at the Office

48"x48" acrylic with oil glazes on canvas stretched over panel

bbbbbbbbeeerdsssss

so , heres a recent installment
the top is a watercolor 20x20 ish
the bottom is an acrylic/oil 32x49 framed

in my watercolors i recently found these orbs interesting,
though im really watching myself not to get too formulaic
in my recent bird work, the next installment, im trying to scale back the complexity
well , see,
the bottom piece was fun and chirpful, im realizing i shine a bit more on a hard surface
i hate the bounce of canvas (which im currently battling with, and i knew i shouldnt have started it) so i think im going to just work on paper and board until i need to try textured bounce again.
im still trying to riff-it and come up with new and authentic approaches, as i said, once i find something that works, i usually forget to use the mind i was previously using when i was discovering and falling back to my formulas
which need to be balanced by sponetneity
imop.
thats a constant battle in my work
it slightly applys to these pieces

little things

these are all about 11"x11" on wood...in acrylic with some tape in most of'um. the wood cutter at lowes was out of service so i couldn't make big stretchers for a few weeks so i bought some wood and hack sawed it apart and made these while i waited for the hardware store to fix their big ass saw.

new portrait

22x30 watercolor on paper
not sure what to call her,
the goal was to take a format i used to paint in and work within my present process and thoughts.
