It’s nice to see my work on a gallery wall again!

Working on my giant painting about particle physics and James Joyce.

My first coffee shop in a long time - in some way so much nicer than the galleries! Ten-Speed East in Mosier, Oregon - stop by any time in April!

I often make my own environments from reference sort of Degas-style. For this one, I photographed the crazy quilt and pillows separately for some stock reference.

Three process shots - initial paper collage, first paint washes, and working with a palette knife.

Not sure how I am going to finish this one, but I like it so far.

Underpainting (see pastel study below).

I’ve been reworking a bunch of paintings that never felt resolved to me - feeling much more happy with them now!

The palette knife might be the cowbell of painting. But guess what, I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more palette knife.

I had to capture the Terrace before leaving Madison - sort of a photographic goodbye. I can’t wait to visit sometime and enjoy a brat and a beer by the lake!
