August 20, 2011 Study?/Abstract?

Untitled Study, acrylic on paper, 9 x 12 in., 2011

The day I made this I started mixing and applying acrylic paint with a palette knife which I seldom/never do. For some reason it helped me think with the paint and get closer to the ghost of an image I saw in my head.

Study, In Progress, 18 x 36.5 in., 2011

These are two recent paintings that are still in progress. The bottom piece I am really excited about but can’t wait to move on to a much larger size.

August 17, 2011 Threshold Drawing… I guess

Threshold, Charcoal and chalk on paper, 19 x 23 in., 2011

I need to figure out whether I want to crop or alter this one. For some reason I love this drawing… I know I’m not supposed to like my own work but….. Deal with it!…

comments please, seriously now!

May 18, 2011 Final pieces for Lyme Exhibition

Here are the final pieces that I had in the Senior Studio Exhibition:

Katabasis 48''x72'' Oil and Chalk on Canvas

Tract 36x48 Acrylic and Charcoal on Canvas

Fall of the Citadel 36''x28'' Oil and Chalk on Canvas

Installation Shot

Click each image to enlarge it. They’re all pretty good resolution. They’re all from the work I produced this year at Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts and represent the tip of the iceberg to an idea I haven’t fully expressed yet. I might post my artist statement for this series if people want to check it out.
