I've returned to the 2nd painting after a few weeks off. Here's a snap of the bottom left hand corner. Lots of Alizarin Crimson cooling off the shadows. Generally building up the middle ground so that I can come over the top of it next.

a couple of contemporary painters i like post details of work in process. sort of violates the whole art-magic thing but it's a way of populating the site with more frequent updates and letting people know what i'm up to in my far distant corner of manhattan. here's a corner…

Second Autumn has found its way to New York with a near 60 degree day or two. I'm getting over a cold but found the willpower to hasten my way down to the meer after a few weeks "off"*. Kathleen gave me a bunch of cold-press single sheets and i've…

The tide is turning. For the better, i think. Perhaps a bad metaphor... doesn't that thing come in and go out twice a day? Denning loaned me her incredibly precious "Claude Lorrain: The Painter as Draftsman" (rare tome) and i've been poring over it. Actually, it's Lorrain's sketches that pushed…

Inching forward with some style changes. Adding more wash and playing with that. Here's three drawings from a couple of days this week. The last two from today when Denning and I went out for a brisk Autumnal morning and promptly sat in the shade for two hours. Well, that…
