Tomorrow I'll work on the birds, then it'll be turned to the wall until next week "to ripen." After varnishing comes the glazes(40 or 50), finishing touches etc.

Painted Bird
What to do while the Leah painting is drying? Paint a bird. Now this will have to dry before I can finish it. I know very well that few will notice all the glazes and subtle nuances of color that I'll add over the next few weeks but somehow it seems necessary. Even if few see these layers consciously I can't help thinking that viewers will feel everything I've put into it in some way and we will communicate.

Leah's Fur Coat
A few hundred years ago Ruben's painted a nude of his second wife wrapped in a fur coat. It's a wonderful and passionate Baroque image. I've been meaning to do my version for several years. I was just cleaning my brushes at the end of the day when Leah came home wearing a red shawl. What better way to start a slide show.

Baroque Pears with Leah
Believe it or not, this painting, so far, has been done with only four colors; white, black, cadmium red and yellow ocher.

DRAMA in the Studio!
This slide show covers a period of four days. In the middle of work Leah had to drive me to the emergency room in Philadelphia. Things started to look funny and my eye Dr. here said I was in danger of a detached retina. Yikes! Worst case scenario, surgery, best case the irritating spots in my vision will be gone in several weeks. Wish me luck.
On a more interesting note; My child hood was more or less a cartoon so 20 years ago I collaborated with Michael Price and turned it into a comic book which will be posted on this blog soon one page at a time. Michael H. Price an amazing, larger than life musician, artist, writer. Give him a google.

Skull Magic
This post is called Skull Magic. The painting (basically done) is Titled "Dark Necessity" and is one of a pair. I'm still working out this blog thing. The previous posts; Day 1,2 etc. is misleading because often its several days but only the next post.
Without the encouragement and help of two artist, Jeff Schaller and Dave Oleski this would never have happened. Thanks for dragging me into the 21st century. I don't think they are going to stop until I'm making movies.
