An FYI

Someone may, or may not, have noticed this but I have been pre-dating my posts. I have been doing this for a couple of reasons.

1. To keep all of my work in order, in the time they were produced. Some works I haven't posted right away because I want to devote a little more time to them, or I might have an after thought I want to implement.
2. I am just plain lazy about posting the pieces as I complete them. Sometimes it takes me a week (maybe 2) before I post a completed week.

So, there is a good excuse to scroll down in this blog and check back to make sure you haven't missed some new pieces. The new posts might not be at the top of the blog.

Its tricky I know.

Paintings / Apr 27 - May 3





















I decided to try coming at this project from a 180 degree angle. I am calling these "Essentials", as I am going back to basics and painting only the most essential elements. The drawings are still done with my raised paint technique and so have that textural quality I enjoy so much. Its too bad the paint strokes dont show in the scans, as I did actually paint in the white background.
