I am continuing my work on Pine Cross this week. I started this painting 18 months ago before my move to Missouri to accept a full time teaching position. I had a long interlude without studio time and posting because of this move and subsequent return to my home area. Without a lot of explanation...it did not work out. What is important is to continue the work. Here we are again. You can see before and after in this post. I will continue to post the progress of this work as this blog has always been about painting and the painting process thus a "painter who blogs". I am moving into a new realm of work. I will continue my image archaeological works and am beginning to work on words that go with the process. I plan to publish the works (words) as cards and prints. More to come on these happenings...for now I hope you "dig" the new work and Namaste.
Before
After
"Thoughts to Think About". A new series. Inspired by a song by Hendrix with the lyric repeated over and over again.
im-age ar´chae-ol´o-gy™, [im-ij] [ahr-kee-ol-uh-jee], n. 1. The systematic recovery by artistic methods of imagery within the ground of a painting. 2. A dig into the surface ground with the butt of a paintbrush to imprint an image. 3. The space between the figure and the ground from which emerges a skeletal impression of an image. 4. A constant searching for the middle ground through the application of paint and projected thought that culminated into a work of art.

Pine Cross in process
Since August 8, 2008, I have been inspired by the painting a day phenomenon that is happening in the blogsphere. This truly is an art movement. I started my first daily painting with a tomato from my summer garden. I will also be using my “Earth Objects” as inspiration. This should be an interesting ride.
My plan is to post a painting a day at least five days a week. Please feel free to "feed your burn" and tell other art lovers about this blog site.
