Lots coming up.
I have been working as my teaching schedule permits, in my studio with the goal of taking the next step with my work. My process has been to create a landscape with paint and have one central object/shape/structure added by collage. I then go back into the piece with paint or drawing and add the details to pull it all together.
My plan is to enlarge these into paintings, but that will come later, maybe in the summer. Right now is the time to explore a variety of possibilities or iterations.

Here are some informal pics of the new work.

Coming in February
Painting show, with two other painters at ArtReach gallery in downtown Portland.
