reworked

I recently went through a box of drawings and stumbled across one from 2017 that didn’t look quite complete. It was dated 5/20/17, so at the time I must have considered it done. I went back to work on it, adding more lines, dots and details. Once completed (again) I added the new date 9/10/18. Makes me wonder how many other things I could continue on, and for how long.

The past weekend I attended a lot of art openings in Los Angeles, which I hadn’t done in a long time. The Chinatown galleries and the Bendix building, as well as a stop at Hauser and Wirth, and the next day dropped into the Pasadena Museum of California Art.

new drawing & deadline

I really mean to post more here, so today I’ll add a recently completed drawing: ink and colored pencil on mat board, approximately 5×6″

Also I’m working on a large painting for an upcoming exhibition whose deadline in now only a few days away. Hoping I can work on it for another 10 -20 hours this weekend. It’s gotten to the point where I’m working on it in 15-20 minute intervals any time that I can. I’ll post more about that when it’s complete.
