Today I’m getting a start on weathering the boat keel for the current painting. Next I’ll prep/mount the cladding. Eventually I’ll submerge the whole thing in water, freeze it, put it in the oven & start it on fire (among other things) before placing it in the painting.
I started this painting more than two years ago and am at last beginning to see its outcome.
Today I’m checking the proportions and relationship between the wooden boat and the painted surface. Long way to go on each, but I’m very happy with how things are turning out.
New black & white paint-on-paper works currently available at Bicycle Fine Art in NYC.
Here’s a quick Instagram tour of a 2’x2′ painting on panel in progress. I imagine this will take much of the winter to complete:
My alma mater asked that I be a part of their current show, Tributaries: A Centennial Celebration of Art & Design Alumni now hanging in the Foster Gallery, UWEC through October 26.
