I lost my job.

I decided to take a sabbatical, to recharge my batteries and figure out what’s important.

I had a big idea about an art project, and pushed myself into unfamiliar work mode, but, i’m producing new paintings… a lot of them.

My cat died. Then the same damn day,

My dad died.

I’m still processing my grief.

I’ve been down to see my mom. my brother and I helped clean out some stuff.

I can afford this mode for another couple of months before I really need to switch gears.

Sequence 15, work in progress

by

well, I didn’t take too many in-progress photos of sequence 15. After working at this painting size for 3 paintings in a week or so, I definitely want to go back and re-select the 5th reference for the final painting at this size (16″x20″). I had picked out ruler-heavy, mostly straight and angular shaped references, and I think I have enough paintings of that for now, and want to work on more curved shapes. I’ve picked one that I think will be good at this size for that painting, so… i’ll get started on that tonight and try to paint some tomorrow, and likely will wrap it up on sunday night.
