When I was working on the smaller piece with the Off to School book, I set up this. Or, rather, it set itself up. While trying to control the position of the books they sort of slid in to this arrangement. I thought the angles and lines pointing in different directions and overall horizontal composition worked well.

I’ll be participating in a group show in December and I have a solo show coming up in June 2010. It is only October, but I need to get cracking now. I used to keep frequent updates to this blog, but while I go in to production mode for the show, things will be quiet around here.

My painting “Chair with Green Suitcase” was selected for the cover image of a recent book from an Italian book publisher, Iperborea. The book is called “L’uomo Senza Passato” (The Man Without a Past) by Aki Kaurismäki.

It is a beautifully printed book and an honor to have my painting on the cover.
