new painting
Here is the latest, 44"x24," as yet untitled. I plan to take it up to my gallery in Minneapolis, Circa Gallery, this week.
The top panel evolved slowly, and there were many points along the way when I thought it was finished. It's a rare thing that I liked it at almost every stage--most of my panels go through at least one desperate, awkward phase. Still, when I put it together with other panels for contrast, it always seemed to need another layer of color or texture, until it reached this finished point. The dark panel has hints of metallic lines and shapes showing through which are hard to see in the photo. You can click on the photo for a larger version (but don't forget to use the "back" button or you'll close the blog window.)
It's been another very busy painting week, including the weekend--I must admit I haven't had much of a life outside the studio. ¶ 12:52 PM

This one looks very intriguing! I love the huge contrasts and the mysterious lines and shapes in the darkest panel. The top panel has a beautiful soft glow!
We came back from Holland on Saturday, will email later! While flying over Eau Claire we saw there was still a lot of snow, it seems to be thawing away here now. Quite a change from the juicy green meadows of the Low Lands!
