The month of January seems to be flying by, but it has been a very productive week in the studio.  After the move and the holidays, it was a little tough for me to get rolling again, but now I have a renewed sense of purpose.

The above panel is a 11″ x 14″ Ampersand Gessobord, and I plan to have it done by next Thursday’s post.  Most of my most recent pieces have consisted of overlapping rings.  This is a slightly new direction for me, and it’s something that just occurred on its own – a natural progression in the work.

I have decided to give the above 24″ x 24″ Sunfire canvas two companion pieces.  The two will be of the same size and the design will be slightly updated and modified so that they all go well together.  I sketched out the first canvas today and will start working on it after I finish the panel that I am working on now.

I know I have been singing the praises of the Gessobord panels lately, and that I would have an aversion to going back to canvas.  That is true, but the fact is right now that I don’t have any panels in stock.  So, until I can get some new supplies in, and for the sake of keeping the momentum going, I am going to use some canvas that I have on hand.  It will be a good change of pace for the time being.

I have a new post over on the Wall Spin blog this week.  It’s entitled 10 Ways to Make a New St (ART), and in it, I give some great suggestions on how to bring art into your lives each and every day.  I hope you enjoy it!

Until next Thursday’s post, have a great weekend, and thank you for stopping by!
