New Paintings from the Pipeline

Part of the creative process is to simply keep things moving along. Get some new works in gear, and finish up the older stuff. Here are a couple paintings I’ve just finished for the upcoming show on November 19 at Art Bar in Manhattan:

It’s simply a matter of seeing it through, kind of like Hemingway’s advice on writing: “Write every day and finish what you start.” Not too tough when it’s broken down to the most basic elements.

Another way to put it is: “Just keep swim-ming, just keep swim-ming.”

And now for the Daily Chuckler®, the infamous stapler scene from “Office Space”, which inspired the still life at the top of this post.
