Well, they are finished enough, anyway… As mentioned in earlier posts, this is a trio of 66″ tall paintings of foil-covered chocolate bunnies. #3 and #2 are now finished–here they are together:
And here’s a quick shot of the newly-finished #2 by itself. I still need to do a little bit of detailing on this one, but I’m pleased to be ready to move on to the final canvas in this series.
Here’s an in-progress shot of Three Bunnies: #2 (Green Foil Bunny):
(nice chair!) This is the second painting in a series of three Foil Bunny paintings. #3 (Blue Foil Bunny) is already finished:
This one should be finished by the end of the month so I can get started on the third and final painting in this trio.
Once again, here are the photos I’m working from– as you can see, I am working right to left (for some reason):
Here’s the twelfth and final 8×10 Industrial (though these were so much fun to paint, I just might do a few more). This one is actually my favorite of the bunch:
Finished up a few more 8×10 Industrials:
I call these “Industrials” because they aren’t quite part of the Lock Series, but they are thematically similar, and share the same color palette.
With the exception of a few small dog portraits, this is the smallest format I have ever worked in. I have to say, I am really enjoying working small. I can sit down at my work table, put on some music, and just relax. It is much less physical than working on a large-format painting, and lord knows I love me some sittin’ on my ass.
Here are a few:
Show coming up!
I’m happy to join the nice folks at ContaminateNYC for their CNYC Outbreak initiative in Gowanus by having a show of a bunch of my work at the fabulous Root Hill Cafe.

A wine tasting! do you hear me, a wine tasting!
Here are the details, copied from their web site–they will also be publishing a (surely frightening) video interview with me. I’ll post that when it’s ready.
Opening Reception: Oct. 7th, Thursday – 7:00pm – 10:00pm
Ongoing Exhibition: Oct. 7th – Nov. 1st
Wine Tasting: Oct. 21th, Thursday – 7:00pm – 10:00pm

Join me for an open studio on Saturday, October 2nd, 2010 from 12-6pm, as part of the always-awesome Annual Gowanus Artists Studios Tour (AGAST).
This is an annual tour of the artists’ studios in the Gowanus area, and over 150 artists will be opening their studios to the public. This will be my 5th year participating in the AGAST Tour, and it is always quite well-attended, and a whole lot of fun.
You can check out the map and see the other artists who are participating at The AGAST Web site.
So drop by and check out the new Foil Bunny, and a few small works I’ve got finished up-I’m in the building at 94 9th Street, between Smith and 2nd Avenue (about a block from the Smith/9th Street F/G subway stop).
Here’s a quick update on the third Foil Bunny. As you can see below, it is the third in a series of three similar paintings.
This one has been a lot of fun to work on; shame my work got interrupted by an unexpected–and exhausting–move during the months of July and August. I had to take several weeks off, and that sucked because I was really in a groove at the time. But I’m all settled in now, and ready to get back to work on this thing. It should be wrapped up by the end of next week (famous last words), but in the meantime, here’s what it looks like so far:
Quick update! here’s what I’m working on right now:
That little one on the right is called Sunflower (I know that’s a corny name, but that is what I think of every time I look at it). It’s a companion to Rusty Hole, which I just finished. They are both 12″ x 24″. I hope to also do a third one at this size, but I am still looking for just the right image. I think I will do another rusty hole, though. There seem to be a lot of those around…
The big one is Foil Bunny #3. This is actually the third panel in a triptych I’m working on. Here are the photos I’m working from:
