So I decided to do baseball paintings while doing my painting “Mcdonald’s World!” You might be wondering (if you are a bi-yearly reader) where is “Mcdonald’s World!”? Well I broke it! I broke it so hard! If you keep paintings in your car and then also you glued them together with (apparently) really bad…

  This painting is an effort to create a more turbid, tense living room scene than the one of me in my apartment. I used blue and red and green to create a sense of tension. The couch and the lamp start a sort of triangle of objects/motion that move towards the door into the…

I’ve been trying to articulate the emotions of this painting. It’s been a struggle, as I think “sad” or “lonely” isn’t quite right. “Luminous” sounds good, but is also not a feeling. After thinking for a while, I’ve come closer to the word “vertiginous”. While I don’t think this painting produces any sort of a…

So, tough couple of months. Lots of huge life changes, including a major car accident late at night. Weird, difficult other stuff. Anyway, in order to have something positive to focus on, I thought it was time to move forward to completing a dragon for my (now defunct?) life project. Magnet dragons got lost in…

Yes, that is a train sculpture. Many of you know one of my secret works is the sculpture of a lion fish I put in my parents’ basement. He swims down there all year round and is a great guy. This is the first sculpture I’ve done since then. They are remarkably similar.  

  Hopefully the first of many! I’m going to make a whole lot of dragons that I can magnet to things and start mixing and matching them. And here is one for size/context  

Lots of content- soon. In the meantime, I want to share some really great stuff. First- puppet RoomThis is a REAL ROOM in the Braddock library. You can borrow these things! My gosh! I stumbled across this while I was working; I was going to meet a client at the library. She didn’t show, but I…

  A gift to my brother and sister in law who live in Rhode Island. I made this before Jess and Eric’s House- some of the techniques I worked out here provided the jumping off point for the paintings I’ve done after.  

So…it’s finished.   After paintings are done I have a weird sense of loss. After working on this for four months, it’s strange to have to think through starting something new. I like the movement of this painting a lot- it was a surprise to me how it looked all together. One thing that I’m not…

    Okay! So I’m almost there! These are the last two pieces! All I need to do now is put it together.

  Hey everybody, Here are 3 segments I’ve been working on for Jess and Eric’s house. Some of the interesting thoughts I’ve been having have been about brushstrokes vs. physical texture. I want my brushstrokes to provide a lot of movement, but I’m more skilled with texturing to provide movement. Of the three, the middle…
