Happy for my first bronze cast (in memory of my beloved Blue Heeler mix Hank, RIP 🖤) to find its way to Michigan for a few weeks! Go visit him if you’re in Ann Arbor!

Finally someone puts into words the discomfort I feel with Yuskavage. I admire her as a painter, but the subject has never sat squarely with me as a feminist.

Lisa Yuskavage’s White Hot Women
Often considered provocative, her nude women embody a patriarchal status quo of feminine desirability, and the privileges that come with it.

I’m staring at this thing with proud mama love! Just finished. Largest egg tempera I’ve ever made—been working on it since March 👀 I’ll post a process video soon; it’s made up of an insane amount of transparent glazes.

My first bronze cast. I made the original clay piece a while back as a prop for an animation using my dog Hank as a model. Hank passed away recently and I thought making a bronze of it would be a lovely tribute 🐕 ❤️

When Artists Are Too Old to Be “Emerging”
If the art world is serious about equity, it has to stop equating emergence with youth and start building structures that reflect the multiplicity of artistic timelines.

I’m deep into four large scale egg temperas (2 shown here). 18 layers deep on the left one! 2nd pic: an update of the deer detail I posted earlier. 3rd pic: a work in progress pic of the painting on the left.

There is no bigger fan of my egg tempera paintings. I give him my mess ups and discarded whites. 🥰

If you’re looking for a zen master I recommend Rick Rubin. Summer reading this with my 14 yr-old & it’s sparked some great convos 👩🎨

Our current artist Paul Leroy @paulleroyart.bsky.social has made the final update to his “Tree of Life” installation outside the Hotel Indigo. Some of the pieces in his installation can also be found in this music video he recently worked on (that’s Paul in the green mask!).

Peter Doig when Martin Gayford asked him why painting “remained current”: “I don’t think that’s really for painters. When people have decided to paint, they enter that world. Once you’ve made that decision, the question isn’t really relevant. It’s a question for outsiders.”

Studio visit today; painted the walls and swept the floors! Egg temperas on the walls are all still in progress— except the finished little one on the far left.

Not sure why I thought it was a good idea to paint this pattern in the background?! Egg tempera is transparent— so I’ve had to go over it TWICE after it faded under several layers. An exercise in patience.
