NEXT: Painting in the Sun

Spring is here. Time to spend the days outside making art – my favorite way to be free.

Apocalypse Family

These are abstractions pushing into the unconscious - forming the names and basis for pushing certain elements forward. They are meant to be more about process than content, however, in preparation for some figurative work. I expect the group to be around 25 paintings in all. The practice is leading to a formal approach - I'm wasting a lot of materials and putting too much time into the work when I don't have a subject.

The North

I scored a little plot of land in Washington State. Here I am praying to the landowner to accept my offer. It’s a small lot in an agricultural town. I have chickens and goats for neighbors and the people are poor. That is perfect for me, to blend in as a hermit. The parcel has about 30 mature fruit trees on it, the scrolling plums are my future subject and the shadows of the seasons. There is a barn nearby with artist studios for rent. I want to take care of the trees and use the fruit to make jam.

Why’d you have look so sad girl?
You’ve got a Chad girl. I ain’t got nobody.
Why’d I have to see?

Along to the song I wrote for love…
Along to the song I wrote for you.
Along to the song I wrote for love…
Sing along to this song.

A man buries sorrow
In his heart for what he loves.
He hopes that it flowers – that it grows into peace.

Sing along to the song I wrote for love…
Sing along to the song I wrote for you.
Sing along to the song I wrote for love…
Sing along to the song.

A man buries sorrow
In his heart for what he loves.
He hopes that it flowers – that it grows into peace.

Sing along to the song I wrote for love…
Sing along to the song I wrote for you.
Sing along to the song I wrote for love…
Sing along to the song.

I don’t feel justified, I don’t feel right.
I did what I had to – to survive.

You and your daddy
Sing along to the song.
