new paintings

Hi,

I have two paintings in the works right now. The first is about three quarters done and is a war image. I'm making it for the show I have coming up in August in Illinois, and it's mainly just a fill in the blanks picture. The idea is to make something that is both saleable and in the same language as my war paintings from the fall. Consequently Im not all that invested. The second painting is of the photo I posted last time... an octopus attacking a crab! I'm excited by the prospect of trying something new, I suppose.

Also... One of the other war painting is going to be on exhibition at the Rockford Art Museum in their midwestern biennial, and the opening is this friday, if anyone else is in the neighborhood!
