6:49 PM: the past 2 days i’ve been completing setup of my new epson printer and assembling the new projector stand that was just delivered. i had ordered and assembled one previously, which i’m sending back tomorrow. it was too lightweight/flimsy. this one is much heftier, more stable, has a second tray for a laptop &, perhaps most significantly, it has wheels. it was a bitch to assemble & i ended up having to watch a youtube video for the last step, which was pretty nutty. we postponed a couple of dinners we had planned because of the latest covid uptik. but we’re still planning on driving up to denver for the tour of the denver art museum’s exhibition: Whistler to Cassatt: American Painters in France. i was invited by the director to this tour, which will take place in the morning, before the museum opens, and be attended by about 20 local artists. after giving it a lot of consideration, we decided it will be pretty safe. all will be wearing masks and keeping a good distance from each other. plus i’ll get to meet some denver artists personally picked by the museum director, whiich i find exciting.
all that to let you know why you haven’t seen any new paintings for a few days. something is brewing however. so you may see something new tomorrow.
in the meantime, here’s a detail from one of my recent series of oil/collage paintings on linen.
