August 16th 2010





I'm nearing the end! Only another day of painting, then a few constructing frames and varnishing pieces, and I'm done!


Here's another painting from the series, titled "Red Fox". There are three other paintings, which I'll post after the show has opened at Narwhal on September 9th. The second image is of the under-painting of the fox. I completed each painting in two parts; a finished painting of an animal, and another of the ornate, white cordyceps.




(I love the postcard invite for this show, which is themed Cabinets of Curiosities, or Wunderkammer).

    I know I already commented on this via Flickr, but again, this is really lovely.

    I'm looking forward to hopefully making it out to the opening! Your work is really great.

    I wish I was in the right part of the world to come and see this, but god bless the internet for bringing it to me across the ether. These are so wonderful!! I think I am in love.
