In the summer I painted this portrait from life in a room that had and entire bank of south facing windows. Anyone who works from life knows this is asking for trouble because the sun moves all day long. This was the best room in the house and clearly the best option. With a little prayer in my heart, I began and... I leaned a whole lot. Since then I've painted in several rooms with southern light and it's a great experience.

The Collector's Editions are often where I play with the random ideas I have in my sketchbooks for technique. Sometimes I go a little further but it's always fun.

In addition to the two previous paintings I will also have two drawings like this at AFA Gallery @afanyc For their Pandora's Box group show opening tomorrow night - Saturday, Dec 12. At Home" - pen and ink 12x18 notes: This drawing, a completely different approach than the previous posts references some of my interest in pop culture/comics/anime and its connection with modern life. Every once in a while, Im struck by how much we really have today. Not in any sort of negative or critical way - just in amazement. The drawing, begun from life, is based entirely on reality. I pushed things a little to make my point but this is life… interesting, weird, fun, exciting and beautiful.

"Bodymind" oil on panel, 24x36 for the upcoming group show titled "Pandora's Box" at AFA Gallery @afanyc in NY this Saturday, December 12. notes: similar in nature to the previous post but more of a meditation on the nature of constructed identity and it's overlapping influences, from tabula rasa to a notion of realized persona

"Reflections" oil on panel, 18x24 for the upcoming group show titled "Pandora's Box" at AFA Gallery @afanyc NY this Saturday, December 12. notes: A visual exploration on the nature of contemplative self reflection; silent but visually cacophonous; the fractured abstract nature of internal processing and the transparent nature of identity.

Following up to yesterday's post I thought I might share this small personal sketch that was my initial inspiration for the painting. Apart from the pleasure I derive from drawings of this nature, I'm intrigued by what a few lines in ink can express... a form of minimalism and flat design, that suggest form, time, space, emotional content etc. everything in the spontaneous poetry of life that allows my mind to wander. Sometimes resulting in a painting but more often remaining as its own contained expression.
