52 paintings in 2004

Each painting is 9 x 12 inches and depicts one figure from head to toe. My pace was one a week for most of the year. This plan was derailed in mid December when the local store I buy the canvases from ran out of my size. So, after a few months of waiting for the back order to show up, I’ve finally got around to finishing the set. A few people asked me why I did not get the canvases from some other store. My only answer was something like - “Hey, it’s my weird working system.”

I’ve made a set of 53 small grey landscapes in 2003 (I think it was a leap year or a have an extra painting for some reason.) This year, I’m working on 52 paintings of heads. Each head is 8 x 10. All the paintings are made in acrylic with the line work done with a dip-pen and ink. Most of the images in the 03 and 04 sets started with an image from the Sunday New York Times. The heads, so far, have not. permanent link to this post
