<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I've started to feel that, in painting,
there are no small changes. Broad or slight adjustments both make
something completely new. You can work on an image for years,
scraping the form to illegibility at the end of each session,
painting it back the next day--until something happens that you
recognize.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The following two figures took weeks
not years, but a continuous transformation of the image was what I
was looking for. It felt crucial to risk form, color, whatever was
already strong, to extend & open-out the painting.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The first day on "Water
Garden" gave me a basic drawing in color. The balanced motion of
the figure was lost & regained over time.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I usually take photographs at the end
of the day & often shift to black & white to focus on
structure. In this version, the figure has changed from fluid
roundness to sharp angularity. I'm testing the waters to see how far
to push toward abstraction & find an alternate way to thread the
figure through the space.</div>

Most of the linear elements &
color-notes of the finished painting are suggested but not integrated
here. The result is that the figure feels generalized & also disconnected from the surroundings.</div>

Near the end of "Water Garden",
I started a second, smaller painting of the same pose just to see
where it might go. "Water Garden 2" began with less drawing
but more segmented color. Still, the dominance of mass over contour
was a useful starting point.

You can scrape back the painted line
between figure & landscape. The forms may be simultaneously blurred &
strengthened by pulling color through color.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When you want to leave behind
composition as a problem to be solved, it helps to think of color,
form & surface as elements of centrality.</div>

Pynchon was writing about a specific
era, but he could have been describing a landscape or a figure as "...this little parenthesis of light."

Ideas like these get in the way of
painting & are useful in that way.</div>

<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style>Working in a sketchbook is a continuing
practice for me. The majority of the drawings presented here were
done in minutes, with little or no revision. All of them were done
on the spot. Structuring the two mixed-media landscapes did take more
time & effort; even so, the intent was the same. Whether I was drawing linear
figures or shadows on hills, the aim was to shape the form from
the motion.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The private language we speak to
ourselves is also written in form. The fields fan out to the water
and express themselves. The back of a figure says something that
can't be understood head-on. A man struggles to walk. A woman
sprawled across a table dreams a landscape. On a larger canvas,
visible thoughts find a pathway across a wide forehead. They let the
body and the garden it occupies become something like a stained glass
window. </div>

comes up often these days as I try to turn drawings & studies into full-scale oil paintings. The incomplete nature of an image can show through as visible under-painting, unedited marks, a full compliment of mistakes. To the viewer, this might appear to be a sign of laziness, or (if there's
still a positive connection to the piece) an alternate pathway to
reconstruct form.<br /><div>

You can stand behind your work, or you can stand
just a little to the side of it. I think of all the selections
presented here as being both finished & unfinished in some way. </div>

Color pulled through color can unify a painting, and so can a complex surface. How this is achieved--through heavy impasto or thin, overlapping layers of paint--is mostly a matter of
personal preference. What’s crucial is the transportation, the visual impact of
the painting itself.</div>

In some respects, work on the smaller acrylics pointed the way
to the larger oils. Though drag and density are different from one medium to
another and problems of scale change,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

The most recent oil-painting, “Figure & Agave,” tries to
challenge the distinction between color-shifts and mark-making. Here, an edge

strong and skilled enough to hold a tough pose with grace. Doreen, the subject
of these drawings, has been an especially dedicated and<span> </span>good-natured co-conspirator.</span>

People have asked about this mixed-media process.<span> </span>I came up with it through trial &
error, though, inevitably, others have probably gotten there before me.<span> </span>I lay down a layer of gray acrylic,
usually on Bristol, then draw the basic composition with black tempera in cake
form. The tempera lines can be altered with a clean wet rag or<span> </span>a q-tip. Highlights and value shifts
are added in white watercolor crayon, and everything is reworked with a wet
brush. Though the drawing ends up with some of the qualities of a<span> </span>print, it’s a fairly unstable finished
product (“fugitive” in artspeak) so I wouldn’t recommend it.</div>

myself the pleasures of summer. Here are some examples.</span><br />

<br />
I've been ranging around again this month, going from small pencil sketches to large-scale oil painting and everything in between. Sometimes I'll settle on a certain way of working, as in the mixed-media drawings below. The only constants seem to be outdoor painting and work from the model. I've been thinking about still-life and landscape-based abstraction, but my attention keeps returning to the figure.<br />

I draw & paint from the model every week. In good weather, we work outside. The complexity<br />
of space and color in natural light almost always generates unexpected results.<br />

The sources for this set of mixed-media drawings are usually photographs and previous drawings. Sometimes, as in the case of the first image in this group, I reverse standard practice and let a completed painting serve as a study for the drawing.<br />

Large-scale painting can be as intimate as a sketchbook drawing. This 4x5-foot canvas had the usual sources, a drawing from the model & a photograph from the drawing session. There's an odd combination of early & late 20th century approaches to the figure here. The challenge was to connect the elements of the composition through the tactile nature of the surface. I'm not sure it all works, but then again, I'm often the worst judge of my own work. <br />

What I’m always painting is my inability to paint. I’m
always drawing on my inability to draw. When I try to paint real things, what’s
called in the business “painting from life,” I get stuck<span> </span>in a dream of real things. Impossible
skin, protective water, the ethics in the planes of a face. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Better artists tend to paint their abilities. This honors
the world outside, as well as the painter's own gifted or hard-won skills. Skilled work is
always highly valued in this world, and justifiably so, but it also tends to
devalue inconsistency. Like the beautiful, palpable mistake of a yellow-white square
that indicates the sky.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There’s a<span> </span>current of acquired clumsiness in academy-trained artists that’s a
corollary here, faux-naiveté in the service of The Next Big Thing. You see
it all over the art magazines, but only the career-obsessed would hide their
abilities under a brightly painted rock.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To paint honestly is to work with what you have and what you
don’t. I want to go farther along that path, even when I use the same bad
judgment as everyone else. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The process of taking the world in and out of
sequence is the only ritual I know.</div>

After focusing on larger paintings for my last show, I’ve

color.</div>

want to encourage all of you to attend my upcoming show at Iveta. (See the
announcement at the end of this post). Most of my recent shows featured smaller
work, but this will be a rare chance to exhibit the larger figure paintings
I’ve been working on these past few years. Iveta is a great venue. I hope to
see you<span> </span>there on Friday, March 7
at the opening reception.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 18pt;">This
month I want to present a set of mixed-media figure drawings on the blog.
They’re not on-the-spot contour drawings, and though the poses come from
life-drawing sessions, the drawings shown here are reconsiderations done from
photos and/or sketches from the model. They took many hours to complete,
and the majority of them were reworked over several days. This kind of work is
the opposite of spontaneous. Instead, it resembles the slow-build process that
occurs in a large-format oil painting,<span> </span>with additions and subtractions pulling the image to its mark.</span></div>

I've been looking ahead to a show of large-scale figure paintings. The majority of the pieces have already been featured on the blog, but I'm happy to say that I'm starting to see something new in them. I recently re-photographed
work for the show and it seemed to me that, when they were cropped, several paintings presented
another side of themselves. I’ve assembled a few of these photographic details into
the current entry. </div>

give them their privacy.</div>

It’s been a fine month to<span> </span>paint outdoors, notwithstanding the recent blast of cool
weather. I’ve been working from the model<span> </span>in a garden setting and continuing the landscapes around Neary’s Lagoon.
The color has shifted a bit, sometimes settling on neutrals, other times
turning to the primaries—it all depends on the quality of the light. Even so, many
of these images were restructured in the studio. The studio-changes
were mostly a matter of strengthening color, since acrylics can lose intensity
after drying; however, a few images were essentially transformed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 12pt;">“October Garden 1” uses the contrast of warm reds and bright paper white. This time I painted straight into the light, and the glare comes across in the unpainted areas.</span>

Switching to panel in “October Garden 2,” the central image
is a bit more definite. The background and figure are woven together by the
