Fat February

Okay! Month two of 2015 is going slow, so slow that I am posting this on the first day of March.  I am hoping my students will be finished with their first project by the end of the month, so they can get started on project 2 and 3. My studio is plugging along with nothing in the works as far as a show.  Generating future plans for future paintings. I am really just building things that are of an interest to myself. I have been cutting more vinyl stencils so far this year and am happy with the outcomes right now. I have decided that the size of the paintings I have been making could get a little bit bigger, the smallest dimension should be fifteen inches.  

 New shape panels

Size varies

These are going to start to develop into something more meaningful than just random shapes. I am researching places I have lived over my life and the boundaries that are meaningful within.  But until I have the research done on these I am just going to have fun with shapes.  

Here's the 'works in progress' wall, really liking what's going on but really ready to move to the next phase with some oil paint.  Would really like to find somewhere to show this body of work in the future.  Also I have been making some new panels and have been really working on the craft part of it.  Plugs for screw holes, maybe some lap joints, and I really want to give dovetailing a try both by hand and with a router.

I'm really into ponchos right now. Just to catch you up on my graduate school status, here are the results so far; two schools have said no, one has said I am #2 on the wait list and I have not heard from the other two, which makes me feel like I may be on their wait lists as well. 

Good Thoughts People, thanks.

Most of these are under 10 inches both dimensions.  Town Pavilion Studio, Luke Firle.

 

Planing down solid wood surfaces for more panels at the Style Lab outdoor work space.

Man I love the smell of sawdust this photo is deceiving on the pile size.

Thanks to Sike for the use of his outdoor work space.

Mural with paintings

Here is a shot from Open Studios again.  I painted a mural and installed eight paintings on top.  The mural is something I am considering doing in a future exhibition.  Half of these paintings are finished and half are not.

Selections From CSF UCP Open Studios

   This image features John Raux & Seth Jenkins as part of their take on the Game Installation

This image features The Big Sho, he was the last participate in the Game he was so into it at one point he slide down one of the mini curve shapes and got injured.  But after a little cry was ready for more, what an art trooper I say!

New Groupings and Reworking of shaped surfaces

An install, and the studio in July

This is a quick installation shot of one of my curve forms(maquette size) that hangs on a wall in its new home.  Thanks to Mrs. Kim Higgins for providing the new home.  It was installed this past May.

  

And here is the July studio shot.  I have been trying to do one of these a month.  This is the east wall.
