ON THE EASEL / SOLO SHOW APPROACHING

Started this one the other day - this is a shot after about 8 hrs or so. I rarely paint on un-tinted panels (or wood at all really) but I was feeling especially impatient and enamored with the wood grain, so I just jumped in. I doubt much will show through when the painting is complete but it looks neat unfinished so I figured I'd post.

also, I've been scrambling on work for my solo show in June, and it's really creeping up. So far i'm planning for somewhere between 10 and 14 pieces, almost all of which are brand new. The opening will be June 11th at the Shooting Gallery in SF, please mark your calendars if you're in the area!!!  more info on all the show details very soon.
