A painter's playground.

This method of uploading one's blog is new and fancy. I'm not sure what I think yet. I did two paintings today but I'm going to save the other, in case I have a dry spell this week. You never know.

I set out to work on a new book. I have some text ideas and visual ideas but it just wasn't coming today so I went with what would come. These are on flimsy paper so I almost ripped it but acrylic makes paper amazingly resilient.

I saw Tom Semple's paintings in the Firehouse Cafe and I thought I'd try a more muted palette, thinking that if there aren't such drastic value changes, I could still fool around with energetic shapes and strokes. Can't seem to restrain myself.
