I have been burning the candle at all ends. Maybe even a little in the middle.  Maybe I just left the whole thing on the stove.  Here is a sneak peak of what you might see at the show.  Please come to the Lightbox Kulturhaus on the 4th of November after 6pm. If you can not make it email me and we could arrange a private showing.   go to the facebook event at  or the Lightbox Kulturhause page for more info.

Lightbox Kulturhause is located at 2027 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, Oregon behind Tiny's Coffee house.  We will have a late night dance party!!!!!

These are the stages I went through to finish this piece.  You get an idea of how the seeds were planted early on for figure and ground and story.  Painting for me is a bit like carving.  I start with a rough block.  I also want to be entertained while I paint so I don't want to know what is going to happen.  If I were to plan and draw it all out before hand the painting might be better in a traditional sense but I would not enjoy the process as much.  What does this painting mean?  I have not titled the painting yet so I am not really sure.  I am still learning from it.   I find it fascinating to focus on one area of the painting and watch the changes.
