Happy Friday everyone! Well, the big weekend is nearly here! If you’ve been following along on these pages, you know that Gowanus Open Studios<\/a><\/strong> is happening tomorrow (Saturday, October 16) and Sunday (October 17<\/strong>). It’s been a busy, busy couple of weeks getting ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve moved into my new studio, unpacked, hung art on the walls, and most significantly —<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have completed the Common Grave<\/strong> painting project! In previous posts (here<\/a> and here<\/a>), I detailed this project. I have also created an Adobe Spark presentation<\/a><\/strong> that gives the whole story. (I do think the Spark presentation came out rather nicely – take a look!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I completed the final panel (what I’m calling panel VI) last week, and by now the paint should be (mostly) dry to touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Common Grave” panel VI; oil on canvas, 16x20in., 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The full polyptych is now installed for viewing for the first time (and — who knows? — perhaps the ONLY time) in my studio! It is not to be missed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So come on down tomorrow or Sunday. I’m at 62 18th Street, Trestle Art Space, 1st floor<\/strong>. I’ll be there 12 to 6pm on both days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
