A long silence...

... comes to an end.

I've been lazy about blogging lately, and correspondingly lazy in the studio lately. Thats not to say I haven't accomplished anything - I just haven't tortured myself quite like I did with the monster still life from the 9th layer of Hell.

I've divided my time between two paintings, one old and one new, and have finally settled on the new one as my primary focus. It's a still life of found objects, and it keeps growing in size. And complexity. I love composing this way.

To get the blog up to date, I'll post all the work im progress shots so far. It took about two weeks to get interested in this painting, which only happened after starting to resolve the many lighting issues. The solution? 50/50 fun.
