Another sketch. This one is a fun example of blind contour drawing, where one does not look down at one's drawing until the thing is complete. It is an excercise in patience and slow deliberate following of---what else?---contours, the pencil following along with every inch of exploration of the eye. The result is usually an unusual but interesting drawing.

As a working artist, I should be sppending more time working in my sketchbook. It's just never been a consistent part of my routine. This is a simple contour drawing I did yesterday of a pinecone---ten minutes of peaceful observation as I let my hands articulate on paper what my eyes measured before them---and the meditative attentiveness alone was worth my time. Not to mention the brief bit of what one might call "spatial practice" that I got out of it.

Louisiana Vista, 25x40", $500
One of my first batch of paintings of the new year (I've gotten off to a slow start, yes). This is a simple generic landscape that could be found in any part of the country that is flat---but I figure it's somewhere in south central Louisiana where flatland abounds (you have to hike beyond the treelines of the interstates and beyond the houses and barns and streetlights where all the people live, but it's out there . . . and it's beautiful).
Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 9:43AM I've got a few paintings hanging now at the new Red Dot Gallery in downtown Ponchatoula -- below is a video of the owner, Nancy Perilloux, talking about the gallery.
Come for the grand opening reception of the Red Dot Gallery on Friday, February 3rd, from 5pm to 9pm.
