I have spent almost two months working on this painting that was originally for commission for someone who had seen one similar at a friends house, but I ran with the idea, thickening the paints sculptural and adding colors all the while to whatever new shadows emerged from the density...not the style for the person who commissioned it, but i can't really stop til I feel it is done. (ironic after a period)   going to have to shoot some progress shots and put em up here...

Let's have a discussion about what is
a compulsion to make expressions...

There is a book I read a while ago whose main character reminds exactly of my friend Brian Wall, who played blindfold chess at the Chess show these last two months at the gallery.  I really liked the show - Brian was Brilliant the ARt was really interesting and different --just wish it had made a profit instead of a loss, but that is like the art of chess itself, so many brilliant folks devoting so many hours to an art, without any pay.  I would name the book but I am afraid someone would not see it the same way and their feelings would get hurt..so Why did i Bring it up.?
in less than two weeks we will be back at the beach-- what happened?
