This piece is one of the more exciting ones from the summer I spent 3 weeks at Skidmore College in a fellowship program for high school art teachers ,started by professor Regis Brodie, to renew their creative juices. (An awesome program, btw) I painted all over the campus, and it was here I did my first multi-small-paintings series, building to almost 70 of them over three weeks. Needless to say , I got freerer and freeer as the time moved along. This is one of the last ones; I think it is pretty special; it would probably take me at least a month of warm ups to get that loose again.
Note: click the link to find out more about the program - it is still running, but application is closed for this year. If you teach high school art, seriously consider it for next year.
