Coffee Table Curriculum. Part 4.

The set is now complete! There's a spot reserved on my bookshelf top row for these. While I was in London last month I came across a couple books from this series by Wooden Books and was blown away.

There are over 20 half-cooked paintings in my living room right now! Life is good. We're up to Round 4 on (10) 24x24 panels. Still rocking the atmospheric backgrounds, but fun to look at already.

And you can remove/reapply whenever you want. BIG Thanks to John Doffing for having me on board with this project . Now there's no excuse for having a huge blank wall in your spot.

Hex Series. Process Shots.

Finally getting around to working on my Hexagon Series. Painting background layers is always fun, so I figured I'd share a few and post photos of their evolution over the coming months.
