"Study for Invocation" is part of a group show honoring a different kind of path-finder- a teacher who made things possible for me when I was very much still figuring things out. That teacher was Philip Geiger and you can read about what I learned from him here: sloweye.net/randall-stol...

Partly because the little painting was being used as a pathfinder for the larger painting- especially helpful when there's gold leaf involved.

One of my βIlluminateβ postcard prints made it to Antarctica where it spent a few months of wintry summer with friend Caz, who was driving big machines around in the snow. More great photos over on FB at Caz R Applegate. So fun sending these palm sized images across time and space.

Lucky to catch the Giorgio Morandi exhibit at Galleria Mattia De Luca in NY on one of its last days (thru 11/26). This photo is of Morandi's final painting, from 1964.
