A good Friday night painting session. Pizza, beer, music cranked while my studio mate, Eric painted figurative narratives across the room.
These paintings in progress are from my continued abstract aerial landscape series. They're starting to take more shape now as I add more layers and introduce new colors. It's also been fun to paint on the wall again instead of the floor or easel.

These paintings are part of my new series of abstracts done in a square format. Travel plays a roll in this series -- referencing maps, aerial landscapes, nature and the figure. My goal with these paintings is to convey more immediacy and to not overwork them. I'm going for a looser quality with less detail and more focus on the larger shapes and textures. Right now I have about 17 paintings going at once.

My first new painting of 2011 is a continuation of the series of figural abstracts I started recently. More to do, but the basic shapes and composition are there.

Today will probably be my last painting session of 2010. It was a good one -- productive; just about finished three paintings, started four more, and began a new figural abstract series at the same time. I also shot some video which I'll post later.
These paintings are partially figurative-based and partially based on landscapes from above. I purposely tried to work fast and loose in a sketch-like expressionist style. I used various tools to create textures and layers to develop a depth when viewed up close.
