I spent yesterday wandering through Storm King, a 500 acre sculpture park in the Hudson Valley, boasting one of the best collections of outdoor scuptures anywhere. It includes a spectacular collection of Mark Di Suvero’s massive steel constructions (one of them is pictured here), and… Read More
I started a group of backyard paintings (or is this a drawing made with paint?) on paper today. This one is August 20, 2018. This is acrylic on acid-free drawing paper, which I bought in a 60″ roll. I used a round brush taped to… Read More
