Your portraits are intriguing, and as others have said...'powerful.'<br /><br />Congratulations on all that endeavor and letting us see the progress of it all. Surely you are having an excellent time.n warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077604126259752152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-27038474616966148942010-01-20T16:38:40.143-05:002010-01-20T16:38:40.143-05:00I love the scratching in the paintings.

I also find the black paintings to be beautiful and somewhat haunting-- you should do 120 little ones of these too!

I think the suggestion to concentrate on those was a good one.<br /><br />Interesting that you have been scratching into the paint because I've found myself doing that lately. I think it adds a little mystery to the work, even if it gets painted over. It's so cool to get up closer to a painting and then discover little marks like that.<br /><br />What you said about navigating a minefield...I think we can all relate to that, but I've never heard it put that way...a perfect way to describe it.<br /><br />I'm glad you have all those little pieces to play with. That will relieve some of the pressure of the people. Have fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893263258805543184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-69318119303652407252010-01-18T13:58:44.404-05:002010-01-18T13:58:44.404-05:00These are really impressive!

A residency is such a productivity boost for an artist, congratulations! <br />I really love the black paintings that suggest the barn shapes; the top right of the group shot and the bottom middle.
