here’s the third and possibly last painting post for 2008. This is a tryptic. Each piece is 24″ square, for a total of 72″ x 24.
I’m not sure of the title yet. I… have some ideas. I also have a full timelapse movie in the works for this piece as well. So when I get that done and figure out the title, I’ll post ‘em up.

Here’s the second painting I’ll be showing at uproar ‘08. I’ve been working on this one all year, so it’s nice to finally figure it out and finish it up.
Ah, finally.

Since my son was born ~6 months ago, I’ve been trying to cram in as much of what I used to do before he was born into my nights after he goes down for the night. I’m glad there are outlets for getting your work shown in the south bay area like Heart of Chaos and Works/San Jose because their events are good motivators to get some artwork finished.
So, here’s a new piece:
I have a tryptic and another piece that I’m wrapping up for Uproar 08.. posting soon…

Progress…
I’m working on a painting again, finally. Sometimes I feel like working on something fast, sometimes I feel like working on an epic. The epics are more satisfying for me. I know the fast pieces are still my voice, but I also like the pieces that I hammer on for days and days and days.
I’ve been painting on black gessoed canvasses and boards recently. I like it. I like it a lot. I’ve only been doing plein aire and landscapes over the last couple of months, so doing an abstract on the black gesso is new for me.
Here’s stage 1:
R and I painted the awesome view from our campsite at Treebones over the last weekend. Check it out:
These are 5″x7″ acrylic on black gessoed canvas board.
