new paintings in progress, at a plateau it seems, trying to get the right tones of grey, bisque, putty, gravel, steel, copper, holding back on colour, less is more, subtle is in, brazen is out.. meanwhile, down on the farm, it's a riot of colour, if you look closely..inspiring me to properly finish the 100 small paintings series.so for the 50 in 2009, it's the vertical, turning a corner; this is most definitely a sign..
