Ruins with Colossal Head

Another new painting:


Ruins with Colossal Head, 2009, acrylic on board, 14" x 11".

This one is technically unfinished, with just the underpainting & the "false highlights" (I don't know if that's a technical term or not, but it sort of describes the function of the way I indicate where the highlights might be). When I looked at the unfinished state of this one, I liked the dreamlike atmosphere it had, so decided to leave it in this rather uncooked state, for now, at least.

Ruins of a Lost Civilization

From the new series:


Brush & ink on paper, 2008, 14" x 11".

I seem to be dwelling on systemic collapse, entropy, destruction, etc. Something like that.
