It may be almost the end of the murderous season for paintings in the studio, but it is just the beginning of murder season for crows!

Murder season is in full swing in the studio as old paintings are killed and then reborn as the beginnings of something new.

Another painting bites the dust during this painter’s murderous season!

Laying down the basic layers of an abstracted landscape over a haughty queen. Oh yes!

Today in war ravaged Portland, a lone protestor clad in black recited a litany of woes…he was relentless and determined, raising his voice over the city soundscape to be sure he was heard.

I am a fan!

Another one bites the dust heh heh…

Sometimes the paintings are just obliterated. With this one, I have an abstracted landscape composition in mind, so I put down the underpainting of the new composition. Once this dries I’ll begin the layers of the new piece.

‘Tis the season for murdering paintings!

Part of my annual process. Keeping this artist from feeling too precious about the work. Destroying the old, making way for the new. I have big plans for this one!
