Small adjustments

Well, hello there!
It's time to make another blog post.


Yesterday I installed my Fragile Planets at the OAG.



Today I got back into my studio.  I'd been working on some small oil colour studies, applying the paint quite thickly.  Last week I tried translating some of that onto a larger canvas, with less than stellar results.

Not quite right, is it.
Let it sit awhile, while I prep and install the Fragile Planets...

... Today I added a bit of pattern, some of it very subtle.  I find it interesting to create subtle effects with bright colour.  This is not always possible, so I feel happy when it works.

Better orientation, don't you think?  This painting may be finished.

A more accurate photo for colour, with less glaring light.
I really need to wash those brushes...


A yellow painting made last month.  After many weeks of teaching, I flew into the studio and released my pent-up anxiety.  This painting was made in one fell swoop, and it may be finished!  Just like that!  *laughs*

Another one from last month, still in progress.

And look, there are our names on the marquee.
That gives a nice feeling.


Thank you for reading.  Hope your new year's off to a good start too.
