Dear Subscribers,
Greetings.
It's been a while. I hope you are doing well. I have nothing clever to say, but a lot of new work to show you.
First are two more 6x6 minis, with nifty time lapse videos:

Next. I've experimented with abstract painting in the past. When I say abstract, I mean full abstract--more abstract than the typical amount of abstraction involved in my representational painting. With this little painting, I have begun a period of composing cityscapes fully from imagination. In other words, I'm abstracting from the abstracted ideas of city/landscape features that I hold in my mind. When I finished this little painting, I realized that maybe I'm an abstract painter after all, and it feels good.
I didn't take any process pictures/videos of this one. I just had to dive in without distractions.

My experience with this painting has permanently altered the way I approach cityscapes going forward.

I made a painting to keep for myself. My daughter was face-painted by a friend (another artist). Too cute, had to paint.

I've created two 12x12 paintings on Artefex Allinpanel (linen on aluminum) for this upcoming show.
First, a still life. As you can see from the video, it was a journey of trial and error:

Next, a cityscape. Like the previous cityscape, totally from imagination. No video, but here are some progress pics:
