First Completed Painting of 2012!

This painting, Bayonet farm, 48x60", was started in early 2011 or maybe even late 2010 and completed in the first week of 2012. It's similar to some concepts that I toyed with briefly in 1999 but feel closer to now. I hope to push further in this direction this year.

The Layers series in now up to about 80 images of which some started like this one by staining canvases. By creating a large body of work I can start to see sub sets within the overall series and it helps to understand the direction I'm moving in.
