The Final 18 (more images to come later)

Here are the final 18 pieces which I finished last week

Series titled: Welcome to My Bedroom
Series Alternately Titled: Sentimentalist Explosion

All of these were made with a varied combination of latex, oils, and collage (pattern paper, acetate)



Here is an image of the entire wall. It's a smaller version of the original of course. You'll see each piece interacts with one another as usual and I have hung them in various ways. Sometimes they are in groups, sometimes more solitary than others.












































I have many more images of these works, I just have yet to edit them... so expect more soon!

Second Wall

The light blue piece needs to be started today obviously. The gold piece still needs to be decided and there is a medium sized surface yet to be hung to the far right or end.

Details of what is probably finished from the 2nd wall

More shots to add to the last entry

Update on Bedroom Work

Pretty much have this whole first wall done. Just a few little things to do but no major changes. So consider these first two as photos of finished paintings.




(sorry for the blur on this one)


This wall has really just begun pretty much

I am putting in a proposal to hang these in a hallway space soon, so I can possibly hang them with some good optional space (hang the work differently since I'm not in a room anymore) and take some good photos of the work.

New large work

Here is one of the pieces I mentioned in another post that I hadn't been able to really photograph at all. It's always been at the main building, but I had nowhere really appropriate to hang it. I was offered this stairwell space without real permission for the piece itself and was just offered to put up whatever, so I chose this one.














This yet to be titled piece is probably about 8.5-9 x 8 ft. Oils and latex on masonite, letters and spray paint

Update on progress

So, here is an update on this project I am working on. Sorry about light and the general difficulty I am having of moving through my room to document this... but I'll eventually have these in a space where I can really step back with good light and capture it.






You can see where I have stopped






I don't even have room for the other 3 panels I have. When some of those on the larger wall (without the door) are done I'll have to shift everything down



Then some detail shots. Not sure if you will be able to make it out, but I've recently started incorporating different pattern paper and such. Some have birds, others have a variety of different flower patterns. Some I'm going to use on those blank ones have bunnies.












(Sorry about the date imprints)

Life vs. Updates

So my project is now moving forward (see previous photo of the mass amount of blank surfaces), seen below. I have completed about 3 other paintings since my last update as well, but I don't currently have decent photos of them. One is large scale and about 6x8 ft on masonite, while the other two are on paper.










(this is just the beginning, there will be several additions as I progress)

I've started incorporating text in various ways off and on, also I have been incorporating pattern paper or different color paper that catches my attention.

Also I recently donated this to the annual auction at Montserrat:
