#124 – Tuesday August 6th

Left  side. . . done, right side . . . finished . . . funny how that happens. But sometimes being done, is really just getting started.

Four of the new paintings are on their way to Perimeter Gallery, Chicago. Perimeter has represented my work for over two decades and continues to have a pivotal role in the success of my creative endeavors. It’s always interesting to see what paintings the gallery takes and I’m happy to let them pick. I have my favorites, ones steeped in the process of their making, but often those don’t translate into something with resonance for the viewer . . . and I’m OK with that. I put them all up for review, and the ones touching a soft spot get chosen  . . .  These are three.

Then the fourth.

What’s been playing this week in the studio? Toe. A quartet of Japanese musicians . . . what captured my ear, remarkable guitar work yes, but more . . . Kashikura Takash on percussion  . . . just off the charts.

Thank you for reading.
