Here are a few small drawings from last month. These are two stage drawings, the color first then the black. These explore chaotic evolution similar to the way my prints compare figures by overlay.
These are about 3″x4″ each.…
Progress shots from 4 paintings (426, 427, 431 and 432) stitched together over “asphalt dub” by The After Dark Set (http://afterdarkset.bandcamp.com/).

I am pleased to announce I am taking part in a 3 person show in Durham, opening next week at The Carrack Modern Art in Durham.
Ternary: 3 Durham Abstract Painters is a show by three young artists unified in their bold use of color and commitment to working in Durham. Inspired by the Washington Color School, Joe McDonough, Ross Ford and Ryan McKellar wish to reignite a serious conversation about color and abstraction in Durham. The Carrack is located at 111 West Parrish St, Durham, NC 27701
Join us during the March 15th Third Friday in Durham to meet the artists, see the show and enjoy refreshments.…
I have finally completed this painting, Number 431. I started this back in November after completing the three blue paintings (427-430).

I have 3 more this size planned.
Here are some progress shots:…

I will be posting about some new drawings too shortly. The next pieces will be really big again, but I wanted to get a few small ones done before I got caught up in a big project. I have sketched a whole book so far in preparation for these next large pieces and these were 3 faces caught my eye but were better suited to this smaller size. …
Christy over at Designing the Triangle stopped by my studio on Saturday. Here is post on our conversation.…
