Reworked New York Pieces

well its four in the morning and its time to frame these last two ready for New York. I've been tinkering with them since they first appeared on the blog a few weeks ago. And now I'm out of time to tinker.

I'm also too tired to sort out the formatting so there's lots of empty space. ............Unlike New York.

Currently on the board

I'm working on three large New York "towers" at the moment for Art Expo in New York in May. As always i'm running out of time and have set myself a goal that I will struggle to reach. Next Wednesday the clock runs out and I have to have finished and framed these plus two smaller pieces and get on a train to New York.
The square painting is the eighth in a series of twelve that I've been working on for two years. Affectionately referred to as the "Bucket Series". I'm presenting the first 8 at the Biograph Theatre this sunday evening at Ethosphere, a celebration of Faith through the arts. Its exciting to be able to get some reaction to something that I've kept under wraps for such a long time.

Between now and Sunday I have to finish the semester at school , wade through a mountain of grading and have a birthday party for Baxter.
Its good to be busy.

Anti-Sceptic

Mercer and Broome, New York work in progress
I just came out of the Apple Store here in Chicago. Throngs of excited people playing with the long awaited iPad launched yesterday. A sales associate gave me tour and let me test drive the shiny slab. Its gorgeous. The building at Mercer and Broome is gorgeous also.
But only one of them has easy wipe surfaces.


I sat on a train in London a couple of months back and I looked down the carriage at the plastic moulded seats and the gently curved extrusion of seamed acrylic panel walls and I wondered if we are becoming an easy wipe culture.
