Some recent endeavors

   So, I've been working on a number of paintings simultaneously. I find it helps keep the flow going. Once I hit a rough patch, I can keep looking at the painting while I work on another. Especailly in the midst of a grad program, I can't really afford to simply wait for inspiration to stike- FORWARD ALWAYS!
   I saw a Per Kirkeby exhibition at Bowdoin College and that, in addition to my previous mentor saying that I should push the grays even further and make it a "thing", led me to experiment with way more monochromatic work.
    A lot of false starts this semester, but I'm happy with the new atmosphere that's emerging in some of the pieces...
