Yesterday I had to pull ten paintings out to deliver to a curator and they had to be within a certain price range. I pulled older work mostly, well going back as far as 2008. That’s old in art world years. They had all been wrapped up an stored for so long, I almost forgot about them! Two of them, I have never showed before, and the other two have been shown, somewhere… I dunno where. The curator picked these four:

Bi-Polar Sundae, 2009. Oil, paper and pencil on panel, 24 x 24 inches.

Have a Beer, 2009. Oil, pattern paper and pencil on panel, 20 x 20 inches.

Dream, 2009. Oil, paper and pencil on panel, 24 x 24 inches.

Remember, 2008. Oil, acrylic, paper & graphite on wood panel, 18 x 18 inches.

Two different styles, I know, but it was interesting to me that the first two are pretty abstract – which has been the direction I have been going this year so far. I guess it just took me a while to continue what I started four years ago.
