One of my paintings just went up in Variety at Jordan Faye Contemporary at Load of Fun, check it out if you get a chance!

Thesis review board

The semester is almost over! Here are a few pictures from my thesis review board and a few updates.

Postcards!

My postcards came in a few days ago, and in case this paintings hasn't been on the blog enough, here is the very intimidating stack. I smartly forgot to put the date on them, so incase anyone was wondering, the show runs May 15-18 and the reception is May 17 from 1:30-5. If you want a card please, please ask me for one, or take one from my studio- I have plenty!

Out of Order

Here are a few pictures from the Out of Order show. It was really crowded, so I couldn't get great pictures, but you can see Leslie painting and my painting on the left wall.

Out of Order

I just put a painting up at 'Out of Order' at the Maryland Art Place

The show is up for 24 hours, and the opening/silent auction is tomorrow at 8!

I'll try and take a picture at the opening and post it later.

Progress

Just another in-progress post.

In Progress

I just wanted to post a quick update. This is the painting that I'm working on right now in my studio. It is still in the early stages, mostly an underpainting, but eventually it is going to get a little darker. The painting in the center is going to be a deep, rich red color field-ish painting in a thick glaze. I really want it to stand out both in the tactility and overall feel of the painting. I'm excited about it and will post more as it goes along.
