From yesterday to today, I made some dramatic changes. This isn’t at all definitive as to where this painting is heading, it’s just another step in the journey. I work mostly with fan brushes and a thin 50/50% galgyd/gamsol medium. Mostly, I glaze layer over layer trying to always retain a bit of whatever preceded it. This gives me the opportunity for subtle brushwork and tinting. Glazing presents a variety of benefits and deficits, but it is my preferred method. Also, by using a very thin medium, I’m usually able to paint each day which, if I painted impasto or used other thicker mediums, I would not be able to do.

These daily studio notes lead toward my 2026 solo exhibitions in New York City and  Poughkeepsie, NY.
