Going off the deep end ...

Sirens ... 
It’s been a few months since my last blog posting, but there is a good reason for the hiatus.

This past summer, I began a new project. It’s a vision I’ve entitled “Sirens.” To me it's clearly the natural evolution of my art and writing. I wanted to have a number of paintings to introduce the concept before I spoke of it.

If you’ve followed my work, you’ll know that I’ve always enjoyed writing back-label stories to accompany my paintings. Over the years, the writing has evolved, for me, into one of the prime movers of my creative process. It has now brought me to a new stage in my work, where the art is driven by the writing. Fiction has now given me the freedom to explore a new world of my own creation.

Sirens is a series of paintings that will ultimately culminate in a large-scale show, to coincide with launch of the illuminated book. Somewhere on the horizon, there may even be a screenplay.

I’ve been painting a number of large studies that will serve as the basis for much larger, life-size paintings. The studies are intended as a preview, to propose the show’s concept to an appropriate venue, yet to be determined. The sale of the studies will help fund the project.
