Continuing to play with images in sequence, and also slowly expanding the palette.  The second image uses titanium white, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, ultramarine blue, and ivory black.  The first was started with a paletter of alizarin crimson, pthalo blue and titanium white, then continued with ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, and titanium white.  Both paintings, as the heading says, are works in progress, and I'm pleased with the start, but expect to be working on them for a while.

GO has gone and went

The nominations will be announced next week.  I don't expect to be one of them, of course, but I'm glad I took part.  It was generally a real feel-good experience through and through.  We had a sparsely artisted neighborhood, and weird tornado weather on Saturday, AND no F and G train service that whole weekend, but still got enough visitors to feel respectable.  And the visitors we did get were kind and thoughtful and enthusiastic.  And the whole thing was not a major disruption of studio time either, as I was able to spend a lot of time there, not painting, but looking, which is just as important.  And was able to work on preparing several canvases, too.  More visitors would have been nice, but those times when we were busy, it was hard to imagine having more and being able to talk to them. So, thanks to the little chick for all her help that weekend, and thanks to all who came by to take a look and chat a bit.  I really appreciate your time and your thoughts.

A poster I designed for my job because apparently, somewhere deep inside, I still want to grow up to be Jack Kirby....

Travel advisory for GO!

The F and G trains are not running to Church Ave this weekend, damn the luck. There will be shuttles running along those lines, though.  But I recommend the B67 bus as an alternative.  It runs on 7th Ave in Park Slope, south to 20th Street, to MacDonald Ave, and makes a stop at Church Ave, the same spot as the subway.  Also the B67 runs to Downtown Brooklyn.

At any rate, no matter where you explore, I hope you get up and GO in Brooklyn this weekend....
