Was your hands real good, ya'll!⁠

So excited about the painting symposium at Lewis and Clark College!

About 200 people gathering to geek out about painting for a whole day, my idea of a fun Saturday!

👩🏽‍🎨👨🏿‍🎨👩🏾‍🎓👨🏽‍🎓

The pictures are of @dcc.studio and me installing the student show that is a part of the symposium. Absolutely loved working together with Danielle, she is a rockstar preparator. Ya’ll should hire her to install your shows @portlandartmuseum!

This handsome couple would love to go home with you.⁠ ⁠ The've been making out at the Ford Gallery in SE Portland for a couple of weeks but they are taking a break in my storage for now. ⁠ ⁠They are very much available. Just say a word and they are yours.

Love me a good pile of paintings! I seriously considered my thesis show installation to look pretty much like this. My advisors talked me out of it. But it’s still an appealing idea. I might just have to have a show soon where they all crowd peaking around each other like this.
Here they are waiting to be installed on the walls at the Ford Gallery, prim and proper, not in a. pile at all.

I am starting to work on a new series and would love your feedback. Tell me what you think of this new to me transparent and glowing look.

And be honest please 🤔⁠ ⁠

I am trying out something new and quite awkward for me.
Using thin transparent layers to build up and shape the painting instead of my usual heavy handed attack-that-canvas-until-hand-hurts-bad approach.⁠ ⁠

This painting is 4 by 6 feet. Pretty large. But I am hoping to start working even larger very soon.⁠ ⁠

Looking forward to hearing from you, my generous online critique group of friend and strangers!⁠ ⁠ 😘⁠
