Squarespace is the service I use to publish this site and they recently released an iPhone app for mobile content management. I'm using it for the first time here. The painting is oil and varnish on paper. Exploring.

The mini format is great exercise, I will revisit this and invest more time in the study as preparation for the larger work. I like this show, John Claes curates the heck out of it. Almost 60 artists participating. Bring the whole family and let your kids chase each other through the installation.

Yeah, that is definitely finished." But I didn't, and when I came back the next day, I was glad to see the allusion of rings, circles, the circus, and things floating. Not balloons.
