mosaic 1 as it looked this afternoon at the end of my first day back in the studio
3:28 PM: following a break for the opening of my aspen show, i was able to get back to work on mosaic 1 today. it felt so great to be holding a brush in my hand!
thus far there has been no collaging, no scraping or painting over. i’m not ruling it out though!
this is the first of a series of about 20-25 paintings intended for my athens exhibition, scheduled to open mid-march, 2023. that venue and that particular art-loving public, with whom i am so intimately familiar, are definitely influencing the direction this new series is taking.
DETAIL
8:08 AM: our very first impression were the 4 sound of a flute series paintings on the tall 2 story wall in the entryway; a stroke of genius on the part of the director, lauren, who hung the show, seen here from the 2nd floor looking down.
i haven’t yet taken my shower or meditated this morning following an intense 48 hours of travel to aspen/carbondale, so when i’m more settled, i’ll share more photos from the opening & start working on posting the video of my half hour talk.
