i'm back

I've realized I have not been posting on my blog since the beginning of the new year. oops...
Sorry about that.

Here are some updates!
I had some work at a group show at DAX Gallery in southern California. I will have a little 6x6 piece at Phonebooth Gallery in April. And I am also working with Gauntlet Gallery for a 4 person show in May in San Francisco. Super exciting!!!

I went through massive spring cleaning in January. It felt good to throw stuff out. Especially since my studio is in my apartment. I really want to make paintings on a more massive scale, and for that I needed more studio space. Eventually I will completely obliterate my living room (the shared space with my art studio) and make the whole thing a working environment. I am apologizing in advance to my future guests for the lack of comfortable lounging furniture. :)

These are the places where I also share my work, where you can follow my progress.  Instagram being my favorite.

For some reason, Blogger is distorting the colors of the pics I post, over saturating them in particular, and it's not making me happy....

So for better image accuracy :) ....

detail from "the saints" painting

venice

I started this painting a while back, and then left it, without finishing (which never ever happens).
So I recently worked on it some more, and I am happy with the result.

concept

A concept for my next painting as well as the beginning of that painting :)

This is the first time I have used this lilac color in a painting. I am happy with the various pinks and blues I used in it. I also think this is the most "fully & naturally rendered" piece of folded cloth I ever painted, which was my goal in this particular piece (usually I love stylized lines and fades). I find that the trick to achieving a natural look is not to "overblend" the intricacies of the folds. 

elephants

Done.
Not sure what to call this one yet, maybe "march of the elephants"?

I have to varnish it, and scan it and update it to my site.

Here is a little progress shot compilation. I love documenting the pieces at their various stages.
I wish I could keep them in every stage!
