crunch time:

school has a pretty tight hold on me right now. in turn though, i'm producing much more work. it's exhausting but not nearly a bad thing. the painting above is oil on polyester and it's 48"x52" (4 ft by 4 +abitft). click here to see a larger photo of it on flickr. i have to admit that it looks very different in person. the polyester is really transparent and because of how thinly the paint is applied you can even see the cross bar through the image. i thought i'd give painting on that surface a shot and i think i liked it. the image itself probably isn't something i'll re-visit, but it was fun to work with and to experiment with. below is an update on my bags. they're growing in numbers and hopefully getting stronger? they won't be displayed this close together, but it gives you an idea.

anyway - wish me luck getting through it!
