work in progress
24" x 36"

for this painting I am going to walk away, or rather utilize the computer. There are some elements missing. Something needed. I have some ideas for what that something should be, but I wanted to test first with photoshop. I am going to start on some other paintings. I made some good headway with a sketch that has been swirling in my head.

we did see art shows…five over two nights. which makes it seem doable, until I tell you that we saw four on saturday…in wildly different la neighborhoods. By the end of the night we were pretty done with art, but I am really glad we had a chance to see it all. {can't say the same for my fellow travelers}

thinkspace had a crazy huge group show…and I was excited to be looking at the packed walls to happen upon camilla's work. I didn't realize that she would be there. Her stuff rocks. The Boy really like nicholas diGenova. His ink work was really really amazing. I think I might want to try and go back, because there was an overwhelming amount of work there.

saturday we saw tinlark, a new gallery at the crossroads of the world. they have a really awesome space and the artwork was political, but not overtly so. I guess I am saying it still stayed beautiful with its message. I think my favorite there was nancy baker cahill.

then we jumped (we'll not really jumped - more like crawled from all the traffic) to nucleus gallery because I really wanted to see jaime zollars.  I have been a huge fan of her work for some time now. I love the fairy tale element. The slight danger in these beautiful pieces. Plus jaime is really cool in person.

At this point we almost gave up, because I went the absolute wrong way. But then we rallied and headed down to the final two galleries, which thankfully happened to be literally a couple blocks away from one another.

project: and corey helford.

By then we were all on art over load. But I really love seeing what is out there. what people are creating in the world.  Some beautiful stuff to be sure.
