I often feel like I make my best work when I go off-roading, as I did for this new, larger piece on burlap. I have not worked on anything approaching 48”x36” for a long time, and I haven’t tried to work on an unconventional surface for a long time, either.
I used to experiment more. Early on I used to try to paint on just about anything available, just to keep painting: cardboard, mattresses, abandoned doors, windows, plywood…
It has also been a heck of a long time since I have made a piece dominated by oil paintsticks.
My preoccupation with space, quantum physics and 80s music continues. Mad World(s) is a new painting in the series, The Realities Project.
