Measured Response

A few other glimpses from the Glasgow sketchbook.The days here have been more bearable and I am hoping to put away the paints on friday and take the sketchbook for a little exercise .

Along the Way

A recent painting completed for the Grand Prairie Invitational.

While Asleep

Working on several things at once. Time away has dashed my routine. As promised, a quick study from the sketchbook- near the Barras on a Saturday morning. . . 

Last night I dreamt of a painting.It is not often that I am given visions or ideas while sleeping, however the image was still in my mind at 6:00 am when I awakened. Unlike Blake, my work has never been informed by the mystical,(or Dante or Milton for that matter). I have no idiosyncratic polemic to expel.Yet sometimes you take what you've been given, so I will attempt to map out this nocturnal impression on canvas.

Good days ahead. . .

On We Go

Returning from 3 weeks in Caledonia, refreshed/ renewed and pushing toward the rushing current that leads to year's end.

An early November release date for Enduring the Going Hence, the next recording , and increasing backlog of work for a forthcoming exhibition, more than a few years inthe making.

Will scan some sketchbook pages from the Scotland visit if I can pound some life into my tempermental scanner.

If you find yourself in the Richmond, Virginia area in the next few months , I have a print included in the 2010 Harnett Biennial of American Prints .
