This is an old doody I did a couple years ago. The handmaid is a handy one to have around. She's really hands on and certainly has a handle on handmade things.
After another long back-breaker week of art handling, back in the studio working on some paintings. This piece is the latest in a series of wood panel paintings on repurposed shipping crates. These crates were built to ship art, now they are it.
A page from the 2009 daily planner/sketchbook containing the original drawing that went on to become the painting, Separate Soul. A quasi-figurative, mandala-esque puddle, swirling into a swiss cheese cosmos, with a half moon heart.
