Other works from the studio.







Here are the second and third attempts at doing a painting in one sesssion. The advantage of doing these single-session paintings is that it speeds up my decision making so I can see what my tendencies are and assess my strengths and weaknesses. I'm always a little hesitant to stop working on something and declare it "finished," so imposing this kind of deadline on a painting forces me to address those qualms.

I undertook this experiment specifically to create three paintings for the ArtBox Show at Bering & James Gallery (http://www.beringandjames.com/), but now I'm thinking of continuing the series as a way to keep experimenting. I'm undecided about whether I want to keep working on 12"x12" wooden panels or if I want to switch size and material. I guess that will be the topic of another post.

Happy Monday,

Sam
