A Studio Intruder

detail of And then Take his Leave (including mouse tracks visible on the margin)

This painting finally dried enough for me to scan it and show you the evidence of my studio intruder. I've since worked out a system for hanging these works on paper - something I may have put off without the 'incentive' this mouse provided.

If you click on the image above, you can see, in even greater detail, the little prints.

In the Thick and Thin of Things

Robert and I have been getting .jpgs ready for a group show next fall - a virtual exhibition of projected images. I'm one of many who've been invited - but I'm excited about it nonetheless. It's a conception of Monica Sheets, a recent Jerome Fellow. I'll post again about the show as I learn more - but I thought, in the meantime, I'd share this detail from post 3/26/07 that will be a part of it.

I've been painting eggs for awhile now, and I'm enjoying it, but I miss the thick paint like I used on this snapper. Eggs seem to require a very thin and blended approach to get them to appear three dimensional. I have a feeling though, that after these eggs, I'll be doing something that requires bigger piles of paint on the palette.

As I write, "Downcast Egg" is on the easel. I'm aiming for Friday to post it.
