Well you've made it as far as the studio!


 

As you can see (if you'd been here before)
it's been cleaned up a little.

The two pictures you see ahead of you are in my
favourite format - 2' 6" x 5'

The one to the right is a little different (for me).
I had been impressed watching my son scoot up cliffs near the ocean.
(of course they weren't so precipitous);
I thought it might provide a nice theme for a painting "meditation"
on young men and life.

Starting with a blank canvas, I painted in an enirely light cadmium
yellow ground, and then worked over the top
in thalo blue, permanent madder deep, permanent blue-violet, and black.

To your left, now is a bit more work:



 

 

The two lower paintings in the above picture are
under construction; the drawings are
life drawing sketches I happened like.
For those of you with good eyes,
the lower right painting is a self-portrait, with my son.



 

 

Continuing to turn counter-clockwise;
more sketches and paintings I'm not sure
what to do with. The painting directly ahead is of
my partner & my son in the woods;
to the lower right is (directly above the terminal) is
 of the skaters hanging out
in the local skateboard/rollerblade pit.
 

Now facing the wall that would have been to your right
as you came in, are more sketches; the two coloured figures were done in
in oil pastel, a medium I'm just learning about.

By now, I guess you are about ready to head
for the exit!
