Heading up to 9/28, I’ve been working on several more of the “internal landscape” abstracts: tentatively titled Peel and Veritas II are completed, with the very tentatively titled The Lost currently on the easel. I’m also working on the ‘self-portrait,’ painted for the main course of the event, which is making good progress; I won’t post pictures of that until after the event, since it’s an exclusive!
I have a few more pieces in-the-works for the event and I’m not done with the whole idea of the contradictory, confusing, and often beautiful worlds that we create within ourselves, so there will definitely be more to the internal landscape/emotional abstraction series. “Ambiguous Gestures” is on hold until after the event, but I’ve got a bunch of ideas brimming for this one and am looking forward to painting a few. I’ll likely be starting a third series, which I’m imagining as an amalgamation of the two series but with some unique elements inspired by working on the self-portrait, in the early fall and moving in to the new year.
Stay tuned… I’ll put new work in the gallery both before and after the event and hopefully post some pictures of the whole night once I’ve survived it!
