Pro­gress on “Desert­Manhat­tan” has been slow these last few weeks– I’ve been busy with other pro­jects, mostly the prints.
That being said, I’ve still able to occa­sio­nally sneak into the stu­dio and work on it some more– usually late at night, when I’ve been having trou­ble slee­ping.
It’s loo­king good. If I can get it done by March, I’ll be happy. Rock on.

    Your more serious art work brings to mind color field pain­ting, par­ti­cu­larly Mark Tobey, whose all over scrib­bling, perhaps ins­pi­red or infor­med by Jack­son Pollock was com­ple­tely radi­cal at the time. Your posi­tion radi­ca­li­zes your work which makes it very inte­res­ting. Con­grats on your gro­wing matu­rity in the medium and the recog­ni­tion being given. I enjoy watching.

    Loo­king very good.
    At the risk of soun­ding like a total phi­lis­tine, have you ever con­si­de­red pro­du­cing Gaping Void wall­pa­per (i.e. the stuff that goes on walls, not com­pu­ter desktops)?

    Might be time for your first large color piece… :)
    Simply because you came up with a title, doesn’t mean that’s what it has to be when it’s finished. Think of this as your first, Untit­led Hugh Mac­Leod Pro­ject, and be ins­pi­red thusly.
    What?!? Thusly isn’t in the dictionary?

    If I may be allo­wed to be serious, remem­ber, Great Art is never finished, it is only abandoned.…

    Andy Warhol did wall­pa­per. It’s all art. ‘Twould be brilliant…

    Can you erase pen­cil easily drawn on can­vas?
    Hugh, do you sketch what you want on paper first or do you work straight on the canvas?
