I've added a few more images on myGallerypage, including some slightly older paintings. It occurred to me that, if this blog mentions a progression or change in my painting, I should try to give some visual reference for that statement. Check it out! Is there a unified vision and voice through the collage poems, visual poems, photographs, abstract collages and paintings? And here's a trick question: how about a unified vision and voice when the text-only work is included in the equation? |

This is the piece on the wall in my painting studio. I call itThe Big Problem, though I don't expect that will be its permanent title. You can't tell, especially not from this photograph, but the painting is 64 x 72". It's not the biggest painting I've done, by any means--but it's currently my most problematic large oil painting. That's why it's calledThe Big Problem.
This is a cautionary tale, really. I'll give the moral of the story before I even start telling the story itself: the moral is "know thyself. |

I have always loved looking at artists' and scientists' diaries, journals, letters, notes and similar ephemera. I've also always loved the "behind-the-scenes" glimpses of the working life of these folks--the grainy photos of artists' studios, the chaise in the garden, random companion animals, the porch swing, the kitchen table loaded with bread crusts and drawings, the glinting glassware in a laboratory, the pensive profile posed alongside the tools of the trade and half-done projects. |
