in the studio...

My paintings have been getting so crazy, so much happening it makes me dizzy and I sometimes can't make sense of them. Funny though how I look back at my previous paintings and feel like they are too spare, empty somehow. I think all the chaos is representative of my life. So many things going on at once, not sure what to focus on. I latch onto one thing and then have to drop it for another. My life has too much speed.

I'm getting closer to finishing these two paintings...

this is phase 1 of this painting. this is the one I spent the most time with this weekend in my studio... it's undergone a surprising transformation... here is phase 2:

For inspiration, I put an image of one of my favorite paintings by Cy Twombly on my easel. I love the energy and forcefulness of his painting. I can feel his strength and speed on the canvas, like it's alive. I hope to infuse that kind of energy into my work.
