Early March Thoughts

Wow this was a busy week with not much actual painting going on, but lots of other artsy things! Yesterday I chaperoned the high school art trip to New York City and had some amazing experiences with our students at the Guggenheim and the Whitney's new location. Now I'm refining my proposal for the Breathing Lights Project, an ambitious light/architectural/art installation project about the Capital Region's struggle with vacancy and its social and economic effects. 

 Lastly, after setting this painting aside for a few days, it has really grown on me and it feels done. This one had several incarnations from still life to memory/space painting, to screen print experiment, and finally worked out with transparent layers of painting. I could get lost in the texture of the layers! The tough part was naming this one; for now I'll call it Bridge.
