2009 - Revolve - 48 x 36
2009 - Scotch - 60 x 48
Finishing up these two... trying to get a handle of a back log of unfinished works so I can refresh inventories in several states. I sometimes wish I was the type to follow through with one idea from beginning to end but that's not the way I do things. Have to try it every-which-way, and often wishing I had a 'control-Z' option to get back to a previous state. But then... the sun breaks through the clouds of indecision and it all comes together. These two paintings hark back to a long time mode of geometrics heavily dependent on the ruled line. There's nothing new here, I could point to dozens of similar works on my site and if an artist needs to claim a 'body of work'... this would be mine, I suppose.
In the 'storage' hallway outside my studio there are at least a dozen unfinished paintings... most headed in the newer boshuko direction. When the mood strikes, and it will, I'll once again feverishly pursue their final layers... but that series has yet to find it's audience so they are mostly just for my serious side. Not that the above paintings aren't considered serious... they are serious inventory bets, believe me... and if they were formulatic they would have been finished weeks ago without all the anguish that seems to be part of my process.
