As the weekends so come the round up. You get me. I do love this new painting. I wish I had this that high from 30 years ago. I’m an old painter and flow with it.
Tom and I had a show earlier this week. It was fun. I think I’ll go back to doing more.
And so the week starts again. All the little plans coming together.
I love a good ink wash. It changes the feel of a painting. White backgrounds work but a wash makes it more a full painting some feel. I like how it’s unpredictable but controlled randomness. I like how it goes. Darker but the colors still pop.
It had been a time. I didn’t get the gallery show this week. I’m not happy about it but I promise to be honest with you. I feel like I’m a bad fit for most galleries these days. They are going back to respectability politics and I don’t want to be a part of that. I want to always be the artist that fights for justice and is proud of his black and brown roots. That’s not for everyone and that is their problem not mine. To all the wonderful people out there who have bought my art, thank you. The rest of you will find something you can’t live with out from me and put up in your house at some point. I’ve been to the future and seen it.
So this week in shorts…
I’ve been working on my writing too. I think I want more of it in my books.
I feel this needed to be said. I’m putting the breakfast show on hold for a bit. My Mondays have been all over the place. Soon it will calm down and I’ll be back at it. I’m working on a new painting always.
Here is a few photos that I will always post on my Patreon.
