Spent the weekend at my studio working on the "unexpected night visitor" painting. Showing the steps of a work-in-progress may diminish the impact ...but this is social media, so the impact is already diminished...(3 images: the underpainting, the charcoal sketch layout, and the painting half-done)

ha ha. lovely and mean.
pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Once I have finished a large painting, which I work on stapled to a flat wall. I then have to mount it. In this case on a wooden canvas stretcher frame, which I have to assemble. Then the painted linen canvas has to be stretched over the frame (painted canvas is a bitch to stretch). then varnished.

Panther as a totem, especially black, is a lunar animal. It is a symbol of femininity, the sinister Dark Mother and the new moon. It is a symbol of the power of the night and female energies manifested in the earthly world ....more on -

A fox jumping over a tomb, jumping over the moon.
If you are lucky enough to witness such an event, you may choose to whisper important news to the fox:
the passing of a loved one, the birth of a child, the fall of tyrants.
The news will be passed on to the clan

Although I posted this painting before. It was a low rez image. this is a good resolution photo of a gallery installation from some years ago. It is called "We are the shape of the hive' and is 60" x 60", oil on canvas. The entire installation stands about ten feet high.
